Jesus Walks by Kanye West Song Info
Released as the fourth single from his 2004 debut album The College Dropout, Jesus Walks was produced by West. The song is built upon a sample of gospel hymn "Walk With Me" by The ARC Choir, a group of reformed drug addicts based New York. Written by West, rapper and friend Che Smith (who performs as Rhymefest), and violinist Miri Ben-Ari, the song was universally acclaimed by music critics, who praised its compelling sonic atmosphere and boldness in its open embrace of faith. Various publications placed the song on several year and decade-end lists, and have since listed it among the greatest of all time.
