What it is
"Jesus Walks" is a 2004 single from Kanye West's debut album The College Dropout, built on the ARC Choir's gospel arrangement of "Walk With Me." It presents faith as walking with everyone from sinners to saints, including a verse from a drug dealer's perspective, and criticizes the music industry for shunning faith-based songs. It won the Grammy for Best Rap Song.
