Last year, at Kanye West‘s New York Fashion Week reveal of Yeezy Season 1 and his Yeezy 750 Boost shoes (his first footwear release with Adidas), he played what was, at the time, the introduction to his forthcoming album. The song was titled “Wolves,” and it featured Vic Mensa and SIA, but was not released after Yeezy’s big day in 2015. In fact, the first time the song was made available to the public was this past weekend when Kanye finally released his The Life of Pablo album, but the final version was noticeably void of Vic and SIA. Instead, a new outro from Frank Ocean appears on the T.L.O.P. version.
Shortly after the release of the album, Ye tweeted “I’ma fix wolves,” which could be a reference to the fact that he will finally release the version of “Wolves” that he teased for a year, including a Saturday Night Live performance alongside both Vic Mensa and SIA. Earlier today, a new version of the song, featuring all three featured artists–Mensa, SIA, Ocean–leaked to the internet, though Kanye hasn’t confirmed whether or not it’s the official “fixed” version (it probably isn’t). Either way, check it out here, and let us know if you prefer this version over the one that’s on TIDAL.
