Fake Shore Drive creator Andrew Barber revealed that Jesus Is King features a track with Clipse - the hip hop duo made up of Pusha T and his brother Gene "No Malice" Thornton - and Kenny G.
Just heard Kanye’s new album Jesus Is King and saw the accompanying film. My favorite track is the last song and it features the Clipse. Both Push & No Malice. Kenny G is also on it. “New Body” has been cut from the album.

Adding a bit more detail about how Jesus Is King sounds, Barber wrote, "The beats on Jesus Is King sounded fire. He definitely pulled from elements of previous sounds that people loved from WTT, 808s, Yeezus, Cruel Summer & MBDTF and put a gospel spin on them."
