We're still unsure if Kanye West will release his new album on June 18, but the confirmation edges closer each day as more information leaks. After last night's premiere of a "New Slaves", some blogs are reporting that the album also has a confirmed title.

Originally thought to be called I Am a God, the new alleged title continues to hold up Kanye's God complex. According to Rap-Up, the album's called Yeezus.

No other sources have confirmed the information, but with Kanye West set to perform on tonight's Saturday Night Live season finale, we're guessing more news will come in. After all, the show's become a hot destination for massive music announcements.

As for Kanye's "New Slaves," more information is trickling in about the track. According to Frank Ocean's mom, her son is singing at the end. Furthermore, Pitchfork reports that the main song includes a sample of "Gyöngyhajú lány" from Hungarian rock band Omega. According to the band, it was used without permission.
