Kanye West has unveiled the extremely simplistic album artwork for his forthcoming record Yeezus which is set to be released on June 18, 2013. See the image below.

The new album looks set to come without a cover, artwork or booklet as an image of a CD in a clear case, bound with a piece of red tape can be found of West's official website along with a short sample from the album itself.

The rapper's promotional campaign has gathered pace recently with a series of huge projections of his single 'New Slaves' across buildings in cities across the globe, but West has kept quiet about the overall theme of the new record.

The new cover differs from the gold image which was leaked by West's girlfriend, Kim Kardashian before he performed on Saturdat Night Live recently. It has been rumoured that West had to scrap the orginal artwork as he wanted to keep people guessing and wasn't aware Kardashian would post the image.

The rapper's lead single 'New Slaves' is featured on the record which looks as though will be 13 tracks long. Other potential song title include 'Awake With The Dark', 'Onsite', 'God', 'Black Skinhead' and 'The Follower'.
