Kanye West reflects on the way that Los Angeles and the bright lights of Hollywood change people on “LA Monster.” Kanye prays for forgiveness and acts for God to protect the sinning people. Kanye is famously a resident of Calabasas, California, which is located on the outskirts of Los Angeles.

“LA Monster” was featured on the tentative tracklist for Kanye West’s 2019 album JESUS IS KING and was played at the Detroit and New York JESUS IS KING Live Experience. The track sonically sounds like an early track from Kanye’s fourth studio album 808s & Heartbreak, due to a combination of Kanye’s melodic singing and his distorted vocals.

The track later surfaced online on March 15, 2020, with added production from Dr. Dre.
