Kanye West – “Real Friends” (Feat. Ty Dolla $ign) & “No More Parties In LA” (Feat. Kendrick Lamar) (Snippet)

Just as promised, Kanye West has released some new material today. It looks like it’s actually two new tracks — one called “Real Friends,” which features Ty Dolla $ign, and a snippet of another one called “No More Parties In LA” that features Kendrick Lamar. The former was produced by Kanye himself with samples by Frank Dukes and Boi-1da and drum programming from Havoc, while the later was produced by Madlib and samples Suzie Junie Morrison’s “Thundertussy.” (Kanye can be heard rapping some of the “No More Parties In LA” lyrics in a special featurette included with the 2004 Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton DVD at 21m45s.) The track was uploaded to Soundcloud and promoted on Twitter earlier today but deleted soon after. Now it’s up on Kanye’s site — listen here or below.

UPDATE: Some explanation for the botched song launch:

UPDATE 2: Swish finally has a release date, and it’s not that far away!
