Kanye West "New Slaves" Video Screens On 66 Walls Worldwide + New LP 'Yeezus'

Kanye West's "New Slaves" video has apparently been screened on 66 walls worldwide in a kind of guerilla-action version of a premiere. Yeezy announced the distributed-premiere action last night via twitter with a link to the map of total world domination he has set up on his website www.kanyewest.com. The map (scroll down for a screenshot) shows red squares at 10 cities around the globe from New York to Sydney, Australia, with 6 or 7 locations within each city. Click on the city and you get a city map with times listed for the various screenings. Miss Info was on hand for the projection on the wall of the Wythe hotel last night right here in lovely Williamsburg, Brooklyn and our UK bredrins at SoulCulture captured the screening on the wall of the Old Truman Brewery in East London just a few moments ago (see above, Yeezy's visage emblazoned on the wall of the 5th Avenue Prada store in Manhattan). Kanye is also expected to premiere material from the new album--which we now know is titled Yeezus and will indeed drop on June 18th, as suspected--on his appearance as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live which will air on NBC in just about 30 minutes from now. Watch the UK & BK screenings below and tune in to NBC for more.
