So Help Me God
Announced in February 2015, So Help Me God is now one of Kanye's most infamous unreleased projects. Essentially being a more advanced version of the songs developed during the Yeezus 2 era, So Help Me God gained significant hype as the teaser tracks of "Wolves," "All Day," and "Only One" was revealed to the public. Despite intending to release the album in March 2015, Kanye never finished So Help Me God, and only a few songs from the era ended up on The Life of Pablo.

Original snippet leaked January 30th, 2024. Leaked fully as part of the Can U Be groupbuy. Made sometime in 2015. | CD Quality OG File | |
✨ Rihanna - New Rihanna [V2] 2 Rihannas, Mitus Touch Kanye West (feat. Kanye West) (prod. Keyon Christ) OG Filename: NEW RIHANNA (03) Version with finished Rihanna vocals and mumble Kanye vocals different from any other version, weirdly pitch shifted. Unknown exactly when this version was made, but its from 2015. The instrumental is slightly different. | High Quality OG File | |
Rihanna - Mitus Touch [V3] 2 Rihannas (prod. Keyon Christ) Intro for a version done by Keyon. Unknown what version it was made for. Fakes has the "full" fake version alongside this intro. | High Quality Partial | |
Rihanna - Mothership [V4] 2 Rihannas, Mitus Touch J. Cole (feat. J. Cole) (prod. Keyon Christ) J. Cole version. J. Cole's vocals could be partially reference work, but based on his lyrics including "Cole World" and other lines referring to himself it's seemingly at least mostly recorded as a potential feature. J. Cole would reuse part of his verse on the 2015 track "Black Friday". | High Quality Full | |
⭐ Mitus Touch [V6] 2 Rihannas ??? (feat. ???) (prod. Keyon Christ) Kanye reference track for Rihanna. Wasn't originally intended for any Kanye project, but according to some it was played at a Def Jam meeting in early 2015, and taken for So Help Me God. | High Quality Full | |
2 Rihannas [V7] Mitus Touch (ref. Pusha T) (prod. Keyon Christ) Version with Pusha T punch-ins replacing vocals explicitly for Rihanna, including the opening line being changed from "that new Rihanna in the front" to "I got two Rihannas out front". According to a trusted source, this was intended for Kanye's album and no longer Rihanna's song. Title confirmed by a leaked stem from the song. Played at Glastonbury 2015 immediately after "Pressure". | Recording Snippet | |
All Day [V8] Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom (feat. Theophilus London & Allan Kingdom) (prod. Velous, Charlie Heat & Paul McCartney) Version played at Yeezy Season 3/The Life of Pablo listening party, very similar to the 6.22 version but has some open instrumental in place of Kanye's mumble lines. It's speculated that Kanye played this version because he was unhappy with the final version of All Day. Full version hasn't leaked. | Recording Partial | |
All Day [V9] Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom, Paul McCartney (ref. Consequence) (feat. Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom & Paul McCartney) (prod. Velous, Charlie Heat & Paul McCartney) Consequence reference track. Seems to have the same features and instrumental as the released version.

⭐ All Day [V10] Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom, Paul McCartney (ref. Kendrick Lamar) (feat. Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom & Paul McCartney) (prod. Velous, Charlie Heat & Paul McCartney) Early version still containing Kanye's mostly finished vocal takes, but also features Kendrick filling in parts with reference vocals, some of which Kanye uses on the final version. Often mistaken for a scrapped feature. Sent to Rian Johnson in December 2014 alongside "Wolves" and "Go Pro." | High Quality Full | |
All Day [V11] 2 Chainz, Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom, Paul McCartney (feat. 2 Chainz, Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom & Paul McCartney) (prod. Velous & Paul McCartney) A "Remix", however it is actually an original version featuring early Kanye vocals and different take. Dated later than the Kendrick reference as he records the lines that were written for him. The production has the OG beat also. | High Quality Tagged | |
All Day [V14] Allan Kingdom, Theophilus London, Paul McCartney (feat. Allan Kingdom, Theophilus London & Paul McCartney) (prod. Charlie Heat, Diddy, French Montana, Kanye West, MIKE DEAN, Noah Goldstein, Velous, Allen Ritter, Mario Winans, Plain Pat & Travis Scott) OG Filename: All Day Mix 19 EXPLICIT Re-4_3-1-15_[VM] OG file, dated 3 days before the song released.

Fade [V3] (ref. Consequence) (prod. Kanye West) In late 2016, Consequence posted a snippet of a so called "remix" to "Fade", claiming he would drop it in 2017. However, due to the OG beat, it was most likely a reference track. Features a simpler beat (heard in a video from August 2015) compared to the finalized March version. | Recording Partial | |
Fade [V4] Ty Dolla $ign, James Blake (feat. Ty Dolla $ign & James Blake) (prod. Kanye West) Version of "Fade" that James Blake recorded over. Has slightly less production. | Low Quality Snippet | |
⭐ Fade [V5] Ty Dolla $ign, James Blake (feat. Ty Dolla $ign & James Blake) (prod. Kanye West) OG Filename: FADE @ 120 BPM Dm Version from March 2015. Has a feature that is most likely James Blake, as he was doing sessions with Kanye around the same time for his album The Colour In Anything.

Feedback [V3] (ref. Consequence) (prod. Charlie Heat & Kanye West) Consequence "Feedback" reference track over the OG instrumental. Has lyrics from Kanye's perspective, so it isn't a remix. Snippets originally previewed by him on Instagram Live on May 5th 2023 and July 22nd, 2024. He played the full song on live September 23rd, 2024. Unknown when it's from, but likely early-mid 2015. | Recording Full |
