Rapper Kanye West paid a surprise visit to two Harris County jails in Houston, Texas, on Nov. 15, 2019, and the response was nothing short of transformative.

West performed tracks from his latest album “Jesus is King” in a visit that was reserved solely for inmates and kept secret from the public. As per CBS DFW, Kanye and his choir performed for more than 200 male inmates at the Harris County jail before crossing the street to perform for a smaller crowd of female inmates in a separate wing.
