Seems like we can only get bits and pieces of new Kanye music nowadays.
A week after someone leaked an unfinished version of his single "All Day," fans got a quick peek at West's collaboration with Chief Keef in an Instagram post this weekend.
In the short video, Keef rolls down the highway while listening to "Nobody," a track that's expected to be on his new album Bang 3.
The duo last made music together on 2013's "Hold My Liquor," a track off Kanye's Yeezus that featured Keef using a similarly Auto-Tuned sound to "Nobody."
Check out the preview:
The Chicago Sun-Times recently interviewed the 19-year-old Keef, whose birth named is Keith Cozart.
After releasing his debut album Finally Rich in December 2012, Cozart moved from Chicago to Los Angeles to escape what he described as a dangerous situation.
"He shot to celebrity status in an environment that doesn't work for that," Manager Rovan "Dro" Manuel said. "Now out here [in LA] there are other guys in his age range and on his level of stardom. And, to be honest with you, it's a lot more positive. It's just him being around certain things and getting exposed."
The Sun-Times asked Keef if it's true that he makes $5,000 per week selling merchandise (his managers say he owns his image and can collect his own money from it, a rarity given his reported multimillion-dollar deal with Interscope).
"One week, no, in a week and a half, I made $20,000," Keef said. "Maybe just 'cause my fans . . . they like me. They love me. Heh. I got negative fans who love me. It's tough love."
Keef has shown a predilection for social media and online marketing, something that's set him apart from other peers.
"Because of where we from, it's already prejudged," Chicago designer Martez Malone said. "The kid is a product of his environment. He was just really blessed that he had talent with the music and he was able to change his life for the better for him and his family."
