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.

Here at The Early Registration we like to pride ourselves on our music knowledge. To stay polished on our musical expertise, our new feature is a little game of musical “6 Degrees”. For those who are unfamiliar, six degrees of separation is the theory that everyone in the world is connected by six or fewer steps, so we are now taking the liberty of connecting musicians whom you would never think could be connected, in exactly six steps. This week our 6˚ piece is dedicated to Kanye West’s new banger ‘All Day‘ and the vast team of nearly 20 artists and writers behind the track, which include Kendrick Lamar, French Montana, Vic Mensa and more. To keep things interesting we challenged ourself to connect one of its more random co-writers, rapper French Montana, to Allan Kingdom, the young Minnesota rapper featured on the track. The twist is can we do this using only other writers/artists credited on ‘All Day’? Find out below!
After debuting the highly anticipated song live for the first time at the Brit Awards, and a number of fake leaks surfacing on the internet, we now have a more proper version of Kanye West’s new So Help Me God single ‘All Day’. ‘All Day’ has been worked on for a number of months by the likes of Kanye West, Q-Tip, Mike Dean, Vic Mensa, Theophilus London and more. And it definitely sounds like all the work paid off. While it was originally scheduled to be the first single from Kanye’s forthcoming studio album, fans can listen to the track now (and download it here on iTunes), which features Paul McCartney, Theophilus London and Allan Kingdom.
Kanye West just got done speaking to students at Oxford University (United Kingdom) and it seems like he gave a speech full of quotable that can even top the public speaking that Lil B The Based God brings to college campuses.

We have yet to hear a high quality leak of the track since Kanye West debuted his ‘All Day’ record at the BRIT Awards. However Ye did give the green light to fellow ‘Wolves’ rapper/singer Vic Mensa, to play the track at a recent DJ set of Mensa’s. Listening to the audio of the track gets us even more hyped. Stay tuned for more news on Kanye’s forthcoming So Help Me God album, which should be coming soon, and watch Vic spinning ‘All Day’ below.

Last time around, Kanye West gave an memorable and empowering interview with BBC Radio 1′s Zane Lowe. Although it was mocked by members of the media, fans could not wait untill Kanye paid the Radio 1 host another visit. And now fans can watch the new emotional interview with Lowe, which even brings Kanye to tears as he began to share a memory about late Central St. Martin British professor of fashion design, Louise Wilson, who passed away last year. “I didn’t know we we’re going to lose her,” said Kanye. Despite it being the first time Kanye was brought to tears during an interview, a BBCsource says that Mr. West was happy for the segment to make the final cut of the edited interview. Check out the full interview below.
