New Kanye West material is imminent, with the rapper saying he wants to release his new single in the 'next couple of weeks'.
Speaking to GQ magazine, the rapper let slip the details of his new material, saying that ideally he'd want to put out the first tracks in the near future. The song is entitled 'All Day' and he hints that it may be a little easier to digest than the harder edge of Yeezus. He added that he is working to release the album by the end of the year, which will be his eighth full length to date.
“I hope I can get one of these songs out in the next couple of weeks, just to have something up and running," said West. "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.”

“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," he added. "So I say, “All day, nigga, it’s Ye, nigga. Shopping for the winter, it’s just May, nigga. Ball so hard, man, this shit cray, nigga. 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."
"But the balance of a meal is that when people walk in, they want water first. People definitely weren’t getting water first on Yeezus. I do fight with myself to say, “Keep fighting.” But also, you know, you can’t win every single fight. It’s a long war, and if you’re out there trying to, like, blow up every single building, you won’t win the war.”
