Ever since Kanye announced the release of his seventh solo record back in March, news on the release has been scarce. Steve McQueen said Yeezy played him the record in full. 88 Keys confirmed he's on a track with Bruno Mars and Diddy. The record never dropped on JAY Z's streaming service TIDAL (perhaps it's now the only thing that could muffle that venture's slow, flatulent exhale). And the album's title changed from So Help Me God, to SWISH, after Kanye tweeted out a series of photos of Kim Kardashian with the same headline. We have, however, heard three tracks likely to be taken from the record: "Only One", "FourFiveSeconds" , "Wolves", and "All Day".
