Soon after 'Jesus Is King' was released, Kanye West shared that he was already in studio with Dr. Dre for its followup.
Famed cinematographer Arthur Jafa prematurely revealed some details about project during an Instagram Live stream in May. In talks with fashion designer Michèle Lamy, Jafa indicated that he was working on a music video with West for a single from the album, which he revealed the title as "God's Country'. In June, following the announcement of a collaboration between West's fashion company Yeezy and clothing retailer Gap, West launched the #WESTDAYEVER promotional campaign on Twitter to announce different projects across June 26. One of those projects was revealed to be a Jafa-directed music video for 'Wash Us in the Blood'.
It was around the same time when West officially confirmed the title of the album as 'God's Country'. Then, on July 18, the rapper announced the title had been changed to 'Donda', in tribute of his late mother, and that the album would be released on July 24, but it wasn't released on that date.
Whether or not the 'Use This Gospel' remix will feature on the upcoming album or its release date is not confirmed as of yet.
