Kanye West Spins New Song Featuring Sampha

Despite his plea for "No More Parties in L.A.," Kanye West hosted a private party at 1OAK in Los Angeles last night (February 23) and debuted a new song.
 
Informally dubbed "Closest Thing to Einstein," the track is reportedly a collaboration with Sampha, and hears West addressing recent media fodder like the rapper's personal debt and Twitter rants.
 
Confronting speculation about his mental health, West spits lines like "But don't worry about me, I'm fine" and "The media said he's way out of control, I just feel like I'm the only one not pretending I'm not out of control."
 
Hear the brand new cut via fan-shot footage in the player below. The Life of Pablo is currently available on Tidal — just don't expect to see it climbing the Billboard charts anytime soon.
