West has made up his mind that 2021 will be about his music. While he was running for president in 2020, he said that he got clarity on some issues that were deeply affecting him and America.

“God just gave me the clarity and said it’s time,” he told Forbes. “You know I was out there, ended up in the hospital, people were calling me crazy. I’m not crazy. Between all of the influences and the positions that we can be put in as musicians—you go on tour, you put out all these albums, and you look up and you don’t have any money in your account. It can drive you crazy, through all of that I was looking crazy because it wasn’t the time. Now it’s time. And we’re not going crazy, we’re going Yeezy, it’s a whole ‘notha level now. N-O-T-H-A.”

West chose Mercedes-Benz Stadium to debut his new album because he likes how his music sounds in stadiums. If you’ve never been to MercBenz, here are some things to know.
