Cruel Winter [V2]
artist.description
After the 2013 rendition of Cruel Winter ended production, Kanye revived it in 2016. With only one official single released, this album took many ideas from popular music at the time, including many trap elements, remixes, and the biggest music stars. The label supposedly worked on it as late as November 2017, but the album has yet to come. There isn't an official cover for this album we know of, so we are using the single art for "Champions."
