Kanye West seems to be on a roll with this new music coming out! His wife and lowkey publicist Kim Kardashian West first took to Twitter last week on New Year’s Eve to announce her hubby was going to be dropping a new record, which turned out to be the much-talked about “Facts.” She did the same this week and low and behold, we have another new Kanye joint!
Mr. West has delivered a two-for-one special of sorts with this one. “Real Friends” finds Kanye back to his early career rap groove and flow talking about the ups and downs that comes with celebrity and how you can weed out who your true friends are, family included (as he states he had to pay $250k to a cousin that stole his laptop that had him sexing some women) with assistance from Ty Dolla $ign on the soulful hook.
Then the track segues into “No More Parties in LA,” produced by Madlib and features Kendrick Lamar. Over a sample of Ghostface Killah‘s “Mighty Healthy,” the father to newborn Saint West swears off partying while K-Dot has a different agenda in mind. Listen to the two tracks below.

This sounds like old school Kanye all the way with the samples! And as this is the second Friday so far this year that Kanye has dropped a new gem, he may be back to his G.O.O.D. Fridays grind again!
As for the album, it looks like we FINALLY have a concrete date from the man himself – SWISH will drop on February 11, 2016!
Swish February 11 16
