An unreleased, previously unheard Kanye West song has been shared by producer/rapper Q Tip at a lecture in New York.
The track, titled 'Mama's Boy' was recorded in Hawaii for Kanye's 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, though failed to make the final cut of the critically acclaimed record.
Q Tip revealed the track, which was previously unheard at studio quality at a Red Bull Music Academy lecture in New York. Speaking of the track, the producer told the audience "With 'Ye, we do so many different versions of things"
"He did another version [of this song] with Soulja Boy, too... We had this one that we were really going to probably do...but it didn't wind up [on the album]. But I wanted you guys to hear one of the things that I did for him. It's kind of cool."
Watch Q Tip's full lecture below (the Kanye track appears at just after one hour 36 minutes.)
Kanye West is planning to release his sixth studio album 'Yeezus' on June 18th, which recently made headlines due to its understated album artwork and lack of listenable material so far, with only 72 seconds of studio quality music leaking online before the album's release.
It was also confirmed today that Daft Punk are to be listed as co-writers of album track 'Black Skinhead', which West performed on Saturday Night Live last month.
