Kanye West is leaning into his faith with the music video for his newest single, “Heaven and Hell.” Debuting Monday, the nearly three-minute clip opens with several people (including a baby) dressed in black hoodies and pants, their faces concealed. The people are shown at night, taking part in stealthy activities around a city. In the second half of the video, West — also dressed in black, including a leather head mask with slits for eye holes — performs atop a cloud, as bodies float into the sky around him as part of what seems to be a rapture.
“You cray? We cray too / You pray? We pray too,” West, 44, raps in part. “Never too late for Him to save you / This your movie, ’cause no one can play you.” As the clip nears its close, a tornado is shown swirling around the clouds, and various static images — of the masked individuals engaging in warfare, and buildings surrounded by ominous clouds — are seen. To accompany the video, West also released a YEEZY GAP hoodie in black and blue — the former of which matches the version worn in the video.
“Heaven and Hell” is the latest single off of West’s tenth studio album Donda, the release of which was postponed by a weeks-long delay last year.
