Def Jam
Kanye West
has added a “new” song to The Life of Pablo, and it’s “Saint
Pablo,” the song Yeezy premiered out in L.A. at a Yo Gotti listening event
months ago. You can hear the song on Apple Music right now.
The track,
produced by Mike Dean and Kanye, is based on the same sample from Jay Z’s
“Where I’m From” from 1997 produced by D-Dot and Amen-Ra. It was originally
suspected to be on what Kanye said will be his next album, Turbo Grafx
16, but as only Kanye can do, he’s done the unexpected, and after
taking the album down from services like TIDAL for a few hours, tacked “Saint
Pablo” on to the very end of Life of Pablo instead.
It’s a
great addition too, despite just being thrown on there. It’s one of the
best beats on the album (the keys and that Scarface sample
really do the trick) while Sampha sings memorably. And though this is a
completely different way to experience an album, Kanye’s kept it exciting since
February.
As for
that next album, Kanye finally dropped the official version of his new single “Champions” featuring Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz,
Travis Scott, Big Sean, Desiigner, Yo Gotti and Quavo this week. It’s our first
tastea of Cruel Winter, the next G.O.O.D. Music
compilation following 2012’s Cruel Summer.
