Kanye West praises his collaboration with Adidas in this new song "Facts," which he dropped on New Year's Eve. On the other hand, he slammed Nike and Bill Cosby.
"Facts" is three and a half minutes long. After opening with a sample of "Dirt and Grime" by Father's Children, West enumerates some of his biggest achievements in 2015.
"Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy, they line up for days," West takes swipes at Nike and praises his collaboration with Adidas called Adidas Yeezy 350 Boost. "I ain't dropped the album but the shoes went platinum."
In November 2015, fans queued outside End store in Newcastle three days before the release of the Adidas Yeezy 350 Boost, The Guardian reported.
In addition, West references Drake in a line that goes, "Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman" and Cosby with the questions, "Do anybody feel bad for Bill Cosby? Did he forget the names just like Steve Harvey?"
"Plus Kimoji just shut down the app store," West mentions his wife Kim Kardashian West's Kimoji, as well. He also reaffirms his intention to run for president saying, "2020, I'ma run the whole election."
This is the second year in a row that West released a new song on New Year's Eve. On Jan. 1, 2015, he released "Only One" featuring Paul McCartney on keyboard.
It has yet to be confirmed if "Facts," which West posted to his SoundCloud account, will be included in the rapper's seventh studio album titled "Swish," which is expected to be released by Def Jam and Roc-A-Fella in 2016.
