The rapper gave the name on Twitter alongside an image of four lowercase 'm's connected in a diamond shape - a 13th century Monastic symbol of the Virgin Mary.

With no official release date, Kanye recently declared that it'll be released as a surprise for fans.

He explained: "Release dates are played out.

"So, the surprise is going to be a surprise. There goes the surprise!"

Kanye also claimed the new record will be a "service to the people".

He said: "My last album was a protest of music.

"But this album is just embracing the music, embracing joy and just being a service to the people."

Previously, Kanye has spoken about how "awesome" Christianity is because he can "portray God" however he likes.

"You know, what's awesome about Christianity is that we're allowed to portray God.

"We're allowed to, you know, draw an image of Him, we're allowed to make movies about Him...So that's just what's really awesome about Christianity. That's one of the awesome things."

As well as his new and last album titles, Kanye has previously used religious references on songs 'I Am a God', 'Jesus Walks' and teamed up with Jay Z and Frank Ocean on 'No Church in the Wild'.
