I have so many fond memories from the Yeezus project.

Some of the most memorable moments from the Yeezus album came from the late night recording sessions in Paris. The album is so powerful and includes collaborations with many of my favorite artists.

I remember when 'Ye came up with the album cover: He was in the studio and peeled off a piece of fluorescent orange tape and stuck it around a blank CD cover.

"Black Skinhead" released the day Jennifer and I got married at the NYC courthouse. We went straight from the ceremony to see the Yeezus projections around New York City.

I remember being backstage at SNL when he premiered "New Slaves." Shortly after, Kanye, Nick and I made the music video. We went an hour and a half outside London to record all of the 3D capture. The recording was done in a large open warehouse with sensors used in video game development to track Ye’s movement.
