GOOD Fridays are back.
Kanye West dropped a new song, titled "Real Friends" featuring Ty Dolla $ign, and a snippet of another song, titled "No More Parties in LA" featuring Kendrick Lamar, on Friday.
The songs arrive after his wife Kim Kardashian tweeted that he would start dropping new music every Friday, hopefully leading up to the release of album Swish.

Vigilant fans have pointed out that West has had the beat, produced by Madlib, for "No More Parties in LA" since 2010, according to an interview with West in the Stones Throw documentary Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton.
In a bonus footage snippet, West talks about how the song came together, and raps a couple lines from the song at the 21:45-minute mark.
There was a hiccup in today's release, however, with the song being posted, then taken down from 'Ye's official Soundcloud page. West tweeted about the mixup, assuring fans the songs would "be back up shortly."
Un momento, there was a slight distortion in the main loop within Real Friends.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 8, 2016
It will be back up shortly. When it’s back up all rippers please rip the new one instead.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 8, 2016
Until then, go forth and have a GOOD weekend as Mr. West recommends.
I hope you have a nice weekend.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 8, 2016
