Kanye West Appears To Have Debuted A New Song At His Yeezy Season 2 Presentation
Update: The new song is titled “Fade,” and it features Post Malone and Ty Dolla $ign.
Kanye West soundtracked today's much buzzed about Yeezy Season 2 presentation with what appears to be a new 'Ye song. To our ears, it sounds as if the house-influenced track—a rip of which can be found with a little searching—is built upon a prominent sample of Harddrive's "Deep Inside"; it also features traces of Rare Earth's cover of The Temptations' "I Know I'm Losing You", as well as a "Rock the Boat" riff and a refrain that sounds like Kanye singing I feel enslaved. It's an interesting turn! Listen to clips below.
