Black Skinhead

"Black Skinhead" (also stylized as "BLKKK SKKKN HEAD") is a song by American rapper Kanye West, from his sixth studio album Yeezus (2013). It samples "War Paint / Soldier Boy" and the 1989 song "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode. Fellow American rapper Lupe Fiasco is credited as one of the co-writers and additional producers, where he penned the first verse. A remix leaked on January 21, 2016, purportedly featuring Fiasco, Travis Scott, and Miley Cyrus, though only the latter two were explicitly heard.Blistein, Jon (January 21, 2016).
