Kanye West only has one question: how many of us have real friends? The Chicago native dropped two new songs Friday afternoon (Jan. 8), and stopped the ‘Net in their tracks, posing that aforementioned question over a minimalist beat.
On “Real Friends,” Ty Dolla $ign cements his melodic vocals over the minimalist beat, which at a point sees Yeezy and the Cali crooner trading lyrics back and forth. Frank Dukes, Boi 1da and Havoc make instrumental appearances as well.
