Following in the footsteps of last year’s NYE-released “Only One”, Yeezy is back with a special new year’s blessing. The rapper/designer/deity snuck a surprise new track on his Soundcloud account in the early hours of this morning – giving the world the first taste of new music in months.

Titled “Facts”, the three-and-a-half minute single seems to act like a sort of year in review – with West opening up about his best-selling Yeezy boots (“I ain’t dropped the album, but the shoes went platinum”), Kim K (“Kimoji just shut down the app store/ We made a million a minute”) and even Bill Cosby (“Do anybody feel bad for Bill Cosby? Did he forget the names just like Steve Harvey?”).

The rapper also takes the opportunity to rip into Nike, which, given his partnership with brand rival Adidas, isn’t all that shocking. “If Nike ain’t had Drizzy man they wouldn’t have nothin’!” he shouts over the Metro Boomin-produced beat. “I’ve been trending years, y’all a couple days. Yeezy in the house and we just got appraised. Nike treat employees just like slaves.”

It’s not yet clear whether this is a taster of the new album – but West did mention earlier this month that it wasn’t far from finished. “He’s on his producing shit,” revealed Travis Scott back in June. “He’s on his God-level rapping shit. It’s that Kanye everybody wants. It’s some ultimate shit.”

Whatev Trav. After Riri’s twelve month no-show last year, I’m never getting my hopes up again.
