    For the past few months I've been putting this album together, rearranging tracks to see what worked best where. It's built from actual leaks, fan remakes, snippets, and my editing in audacity. I cleaned up the songs as much as possible to make the mixing and volume as coherent as possible. Songs that leaked with abrupt endings were fixed and songs that sounded quiet or too loud were corrected. I did research and tried to credit as many people as possible in the composer part of each song, and tagged each song appropriately to make the album look as clean and genuine as possible for an unofficial album.

    It's tough to finally put this out and stop working on it because I originally started working on it because I didn't know what to do with my loose tracks and I ended up putting them all together and naming it "Days Before Pablo". Once all the leaks started popping up in S80 I had the idea to put together my vision of So Help Me God as a conceptual album.

    It's hard for me to act like I'm putting my album out because it's Kanye's album, I just visioned it. I really enjoyed putting the whole project together because it was like me pretending I'm working on Kanye's album, and it gave me something to do while I slowly worked on my own album. I can't even count how many hours I spent just trying to get transitions right on this thing and make the songs sound as clean and legit as possible. I was inspired partly by the extended version of yeezus that I've had on repeat since it came out, I wanted to make something kind of similar in concept of editing.

    The first half of the album is basically the louder more fun part of the album with songs like All Day and U Mad. I Am Not Here/God Level was actually easy to put together and I didn't rework it more then twice. I cannot for the life of me find where I got the I Am Not Here remake from, and the intro part is from Kuci. All day was a mix of the OG w/Kendrick, the studio release, and Kuci's tour version. I mixed the sound on Nina Chop to make it louder and cut the abrupt ending that bothered me so much. I wanted to put Steve Hendrix from KTT's Can U Be Remake somewhere and after a while found it fit best at the end of Can't Look In My Eyes. I also redid the intro to the song with the Daft Punk sample because I didn't like Cudi's part at the start of the song.

    On the second half of the album, Kanye is going through h--- and heaven and reflecting on his entire life. On Ultralight Prayer, I used the ULB extended remix that was released last night. I was going to put the album out last night but when that came out I knew I had to use it. I added in the thunder at the end to foreshadow Fall Out Of Heaven. I didn't put Tell Your Friends and When I see it together, someone sent it to me I'm not sure who did it. The last three songs on the album symbolize Kanye reflecting on his wife in Awesome, his daughter in Only One, and himself in I Feel Like That. Basically, reflecting on everything that matters to him to close the album.

    I hope you all enjoy what I visualized So Help Me God would of sounded like if it came out, if you enjoyed the project show it to your friends and whoever else you know that stans Ye as much as you do. Thanks.

    the way you feel about albums is the same how I feel bout them, I'm making my own album actually but with existing tracks [called it : channel BLUE, and its hugely inspired by frankie frank ocean]
