Kanye West Projects Himself All Over The World
By Inderdeep Gill on Friday, May 24, 2013
Being a man of few words on Twitter a few days ago he dropped a date (literally just a date) for his next album out in June. He then followed it with a projection debuting his single ‘New Slaves’ across America… videos went ‘#viral’, and now Kanye is going global with the flash stunt.
In the UK the projection will only be happening in Birmingham, Glasgow and Manchester – a big shame as I would have loved to go and see it in London. And it’s rumoured to be the new single ‘New Slaves’ and ‘Black Skinhead’

What’s amazing is that it’s such a simple thing to do, and requires little to no permission as you just turn up like they did for the stunt originally with a projector and speakers in a truck, and blast onto a public building for a few minutes like a flash stunt.
The worldwide projection seems a little more planned though, so maybe America was a tester to see if it would work.
Head to KanyeWest.com as it will be in Manchester on Saturday and hopefully more places added.
UPDATE:
