Earlier version of the James Fauntleroy feature. Snippet leaked October 7th, 2025.

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.

OG Filename: kanye mixed Freestyle, said by Proof Bot (Elijah) to be titled "Mixed" and from So Help Me God era. Snippets leaked on July 23, 2024, September 11, 2025, and September 21, 2025.

Released as a single on October 14th, 2014. Interpolates dialogue from the movie Pain and Gain.

Originally thought to have been the outro for "Can U Be" / "Pressure" (it's unrelated entirely). Likely from early 2015 as Kanye was working closely with Rihanna & Keyon Christ on her album, as well as it being ripped from the same CD as "Pick Up Your Speed" - possibly a CD of references for Rihanna - when sent to Christina Aguilera. There are acapella & instrumental files from July 2015, but those were likely bounced to send to Darren King and other producers. The song title was confirmed when Keyon Christ referred to the snippet that leaked with Kanye vox as "#Forever". Keyon later released a version of the instrumental on SoundCloud.

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."

2015 version with vocals from Jeremih. According to the same person who shared the snippet, this was a reference for Rihanna. Final leak before Ye Tracker's death, and YZYCORD's ending of Ye leaks.

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".

Theophilus London's 2014 album Vibes. Executive produced by Kanye West. Contains 12 tracks.

OG Filename: KW - I Feel Like That Ref (8.20.14) First known version with vocals from Ty Dolla $ign and Tony Williams. Has some rough mumbly singing and freestyle vocals over the entire song and some parts that sound semi-finished, which eventually ended up being cut in favor of a purely singing. Samples "I Want To Be Love" by Stevens & Foster.

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. Also contains added production from earlier versions, later stripped away in August 2015 before the beat was reworked entirely. Snippet leaked October 23, 2022.

Song that is supposedly on a SHMG tracklist. Snippet leaked August 18th, 2025.
