New Kanye West music was coming out in droves over the first part of 2015, but the flood has been damned up. Songs like “Wolves” and “All Day” had anticipation for his new album So Help Me God ramping up and building but has since kind of plateaued.
What we do know is that there is something in the works between Kanye West himself, and arguably the second greatest MC out there behind Yeezus in Kendrick Lamar. Before today, this was all based on reading a little too far into a social media message.
Back in March, Kanye West tweeted out a post about Lamar around the time the Compton rapper’s new album To Pimp A Butterfly dropped. He calls Lamar an inspiration and thanks him for the good vibrations and spirits.
But it could have suggested a highly coveted collaboration. How do we know it is be a highly coveted collab? At the time of this posting, it had almost 100,000 retweets and over 113,000 favorites.
Would make sense, aside from being the two hottest MCs out at the moment, the two went on tour together back in 2013.
Low and behold, Yeezus giveth and Yeezus delivers.
There is a snippet of Kendrick Lamar rhyming over Kanye West’s “All Day” beat in what appears to be a remix of the popular banger. Lamar isn’t a rapper in the sense of Lil Wayne, meaning he isn’t going to pump out mixtapes over other people’s tracks. That suggests it’d be a more formal track, a guest verse on a remix.
It is just six seconds of audio, but enough to have us already clamoring for more and Google searching every 15 minutes to see if it has dropped yet.
For those curious as to what Lamar raps, the lyrics are: “Chi-town, we play for the free base / These days don’t believe what police say / DJs and the b-boys rush it.”
You’d have to think it’d come out some time over the next month, or maybe wishful thinking on our part.
So, we’d like you to throw in your Yeezus piece on the six-second clip and what you think about the potential collaboration. Is Kenrick Lamar’s verse enough, or would you like to see someone else jump on it as well? Let us know in the comments below.
