If things go Ye’s way, the surviving Beatles member will have a presence on the upcoming solo effort.

The Yeezus rapper, who has reportedly become very good friends with the former Beatles lead singer has approached him as he puts the finishing touches to his latest material. And earlier this week, Kanye was backstage as the legendary crooner played a show in LA at the Dodgers Stadium. A source told the Sun newspaper: ‘Kanye and Paul have known each other for a long time but have become more friendly recently. There’s every chance they’ll head into the studio together.’ (Daily Mail UK)

The reports follow an early week leak of Ye’s new “All Day” track.

A rough version of Kanye West’s new single, “All Day,” has leaked. The unofficial version sounds to have been recorded by phone. You can check out a low-quality recording of “All Day” courtesy of Revolt. ‘Ye’s flow is reminiscent of Nicki Minaj‘s on “Lookin’ Ass,” and features his signature braggadocious raps. (Billboard)

Within his new GQ cover story, Kanye admitted being influenced by longtime friend Jay Z on his new “All Day” record.

“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)
