Grammy-winning Kanye West is giving fans something to get excited about this summer after dishing on his new music and the concept behind a new singled called "All Day" in the new GQ magazine. #allday
Within his cover story, Kanye admits being influenced by longtime friend Jay Z on “All Day.”
“I think just my usual pattern is like that. It’s like a pendulum. The pendulum gains momentum by swinging in the other direction. Even lyrically, I think about certain lines that I say on my new single, which is called “All Day,” that usually Jay would say, but Jay’s not on there. So I say, “All day, n*gga, it’s Ye, n*gga. Shopping for the winter, it’s just May, n*gga. Ball so hard, man, this sh*t cray, n*gga. You ain’t getting money unless you got eight figures.” Right? Jay would have said that. And then eventually I would have came in with, like, whatever I come in with.” (GQ)
West also hinted at when fans could possibly start preparing to hear his newest tunes.
“I don’t know, man. I hope I can get one of these songs out in the next couple of weeks, just to have something up and running. But I think most likely September. I go back and forth. Like, should it be September or should it be October? Should it be November? When Beyoncé was working on her last album, she took a while. I was thinking it could somehow come out in June, like Yeezus, and just kill it for the summer. But then I’m like, I have to work on Adidas and be with my child.” (GQ)
Recent reports revealed Kanye traveled out to Mexico and pieced together new songs.
The E! star has been staying at pal Joe Francis‘ beachside villa in Punta Mita for nearly two weeks now, and husband Kanye West and their daughter, North West, have been with her the entire time! But while his wife has been logging quality pool time, this has been largely a working vacation for Kanye, who’s recording new music with his production team near Puerto Vallarta. “His whole crew is out there recording,” a source exclusively tells E! News. “His whole music studio was shipped out. It’s been amazing.” (E! Online)
While details remain slim, Mr. West unleashed 20 never-before-heard songs at a club venue earlier this month.
Following his second set at London’s Wireless Festival last night, Kanye reportedly got behind the DJ booth and treated attendees of a private club event to about 20 never-before-heard tracks. While photos and videos were prohibited, a few details have leaked on social media, with one attendee describing the new songs as “dark,” “hellish,” and “ground-shaking.” Should Yeezy attempt to try to one-up Beyoncé by dropping 20 new music videos at the same time, we would not object.
