OG Filename: 210524 Gallery 1 - Life Of The Party - 88 OxV Flip Ye Freestyle A Gallery freestyle titled "Life Of The Party." The instrumental shares the same chords as "Life Of The Party". Possibly Ojivolta's take on the beat, according to trusted sources. Later chopped up to make "NASDAQ". Lines from the freestyle were also re-recorded in a later freestyle for "HIIII WYD".

OG Filename: God Got Me - 21.05.13 Tracking Ref Original freestyle. Some lyrics were reused for the released version of "Lord I Need You" and an unreleased version of "Donda". Has 14 minutes of vocals (5-7 non-mumble) and 6 minutes of an open verse where he screams, providing choir reference vocals. Has lyrics about a girl from Palestine, abortion, the industry, and his own black identity. Samples "Enlightenment" by Billy Paul. Low quality rebounce originally leaked September 13th, 2023 after a kind of successful groupbuy - with the real lossless file leaking later.

OG Filename: 210510 Gallery Freestyles - 04 Aboriginal Freestyle with some mumble. Shares lines with "Go Left".

OG Filename: TOWER_Current Early version that is shorter actual song wise compared to later versions, but is 'longer' due to the silence at the end. Was probably made pre-Carti involvement and may have been shown to Kanye due to the file date and him recording "Miracles" on the same day, this is speculation however.

OG Filename: 210526 Gallery - Nowhere Rough, but finished freestyle with heartfelt singing over a Digital Nas shoegaze sample flip.

Dem Jointz rework of the Gallery "Life Of The Party" freestyle. Was described as "industrial" sounding, and was compared to the sound of Yeezus. Has Dem Jointz punch-ins and two lines of mumble, and STALONE backing vocals. Samples "African Mist Voice 11" from GarageBand Jam Pack: World Music - African Mist Voice Samples.

OG Filename: 210521 Gallery - Boogz Microtonic PB - PTN AC Raw Materials Rough Gallery freestyle over a Patternarium Generation sample looped by Boogz.

OG Filename: WHERE DEY AT (YE_Edit 163.5bpm) ST 'Solo' version with different punch-ins from Dem Jointz. Stems rebounced in September 2023 to send to French Montana, but the original cutdown is from 2021 as Dem Jointz wasn't working with Ye during this time. Leaked as a bonus for the second "THIRSTY" groupbuy.

Dem Jointz rework of the "Back Then", "Friends List" and "Different Codes" freestyles, using elements of the instrumental to those and vocals from "Back Then" and "Different Codes". Features punch-ins from Dem Jointz meant as reference vocals for Kanye. Produced by Dem Jointz and 88-Keys. Incorrectly believed to be produced by Pharrell Williams due to the 4-count intro. Samples "African King Ensemble" by Mike Murray.

OG Filename: All These Friends of Mine - OxV - 21.05.30 Vocal Restructure Cut-down version from late May. Seen on tracklists throughout 2021. Combines the production from the two prior freestyles for the song. Originally leaked with a fake filedate of 21.11.30

OG Filename: 210510 Gallery Freestyles - 00 Back Then Freestyle over an improvised beat that would later become the "Thunder" beat. Filename indicates this was the first of the three known freestyles for "Thunder" and the first overall freestyle from May 10th. "Thunder" hook vocals originate from this version. Only confirmed producer is 88-Keys, but it's likely that most of the production comes from Ojivolta as they have done similar improvisatory work in the past.

OG Filename: Aye Ye Ye Ye - 21.06.25 ojivolta piano_FIXED TUNING 152bpm Seen on a June or July tracklist for Donda. Has Tee Grizzley reference verses, and added production from Ojivolta.

Ty Dolla $ign originally recorded for this song in 2021, potentially during the Pico Pico sessions as Ty & Future were both present. Leaked after a groupbuy.
