Kanye West's Newest Single, 'Facts,' Is Here, And It's Amazing

by Gillian Fuller

Mr. West is in the building.

On New Year's Eve, Kanye West's wife, Kim Kardashian West, dropped a major bomb, announcing the release of a new Yeezy song.

The track, “Facts,” is the first we've heard of West since he welcomed his new son, Saint, in December.

Prior to that, West released two tracks in October, a cover of The Weeknd's “Tell Your Friends” and a remastered version of his own “Say You Will,” which appeared on the 2008 album 808s & Heartbreak.

This is the second time West used the New Year to release a new song. On January 1 last year, the rapper dropped “Only One,” a duet with Beatles member Paul McCartney.

It's unclear if the release of “Facts” is a hint toward the release of Yeezy's new album, Swish, or if it's simply a solo release.

Take a listen to “Facts” here, and stay tuned for details on Swish.
