Wash Us in the Blood (Demo)

Kanye West

This is an early version of “Wash Us In The Blood,” the lead single from Kanye West’s tenth studio album, God’s Country. It leaked online on June 22, 2020.

This demo features Kanye mumbling as he attempts to lay down a rough idea of the flow and potential lyrical content; this is common with many demos and particularly with demos recorded by Kanye. It also lacks some production elements added by Ronny J, and has an outro that was cut from the final release.

Interestingly, Kanye curses towards the back end of the track, something that he stopped doing after becoming a “born-again Christian.” It appears likely, however, that the word slipped out during his freestyle.
