Kanye West is notorious for continuing to perfect the mixing and mastering of his tracks, even after their official release. That’s why we weren’t surprised to learn that his new record ‘All Day’ ft. Theophilus London & Allan Kingdom (buy it now on iTunes) has been remastered. As heard on streaming service WiMP (available in select European countries, and recently bid on by Jay-Z), the new mastered version of ‘All Day’ has a few subtle but still noticeable changes. For example, the vocals echo when Kanye says “All Day, n*gga” and synths in the track also stand out more. If you live in Europe, you may be able to check out the new version here, otherwise check out the differences below.

During his surprise show at KOKO in London, Kanye West brought out Vic Mensa to perform a brand new unreleased track, potentially titled ‘U Mad’. The new track, as suggested by Vic’s manager, may also feature Kanye West and Big Sean, and is produced by Chicago’s Stefan Ponce (‘3005’, ‘Down On My Luck’), Smoko Ono & D. Phelps. It may just be that Sean and Kanye joined Vic for the performance and are not actually featured on the song. Vic originally debuted the track, when he performed it solo at The Metro in Chicago, and since then it appears as Ye and Sean may have hopped on too. Check out a few videos below of Mensa and Kanye performing the unreleased track, just hours ago in London.
