American rapper Kanye West released a new song, "Wash Us In the Blood", on Tuesday, along with a clip featuring footage of recent anti-racism protests that rocked the United States.

This song, the first of Chicago rapper's next album "God's Country", has strong biblical overtones, with Kim Kardashian's husband having seriously turned to Christianity in recent years.

The clip includes footage of protests against police violence and video clips of Breonna Taylor, a black woman killed by police in her apartment in March.

The song, with very energetic tones, contains an appearance by rapper Travis Scott and was mixed by hip-hop legend Dr. Dre.

Kanye West and his brand Yeezy recently signed a partnership with the American ready-to-wear brand Gap.
