However, it’s a hoax.  Hip-Hop Wired reached out to Yeezy’s press representative at Def Jam who quickly let us know that it was not legit. Nevertheless, the image posted by Rapcussion’s Twtter included would be bonus tracks, touted songs with Q-Tip, Young Thug and Teyana Taylor and even had a release date of May 10. Someone had a lot of time on their hands. West’s latest single, “All Day,” is the real deal,

10 Toronto Artists to Watch Out For

Posted on:

Between Drake and our crack-smoking former mayor, Toronto has been put under a spotlight these past few years.
