At his exclusive Vultures party, Kanye West debuted a new song called “Cash Cow” featuring British grime MC Skepta.
Video from the Sunday, August 11 concert in Los Angeles provides a preview of the hit song, which has never been released before. It features a hard beat with a grime vibe, on which Skepta and Ye trade bars.
“How we livin/? / I’m never quittin’ / Feel like whippin’ / Rollie ain’t tickin’ / 818 sippin’ / Sauce spinnin,’” the Boy Better Know star spits.
It’s unclear at this time if the song will be on Vultures 3 or if it’s one of the numerous additional tracks that Kanye dropped on Vultures 2, his second album released earlier this month that features collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign.
Despite dating for almost ten years, Kanye West and Skepta have not yet been featured on a song together.
However, they did work together in 2021 when Skepta posted a clip of Kanye jumping on a remix of his song “Piece of Mind.” This coincided with the protracted Donda rollout of the founder of G.O.O.D. Music.
Following a Burberry show, the two also ran into one other at London Fashion Week in 2022, when they met Erykah Badu and supermodel Irina Shayk.
Alongside fellow grime icon Wiley, Skepta was also listed as a songwriter on the 2018 album track “I Thought About Killing You,” however it’s unclear what exactly they contributed to the song.
The Chicagoan and Londonian locals became well-known after they collaborated at the 2015 BRIT Awards, when Kanye debuted “All Day” with Allan Kingdom, Theophilus London, and several other grime celebrities.
At the conclusion of the intense performance, Kanye also shouted out to Skepta, saying, “Yo, Skepta.” I’m grateful.
Skepta has long been a fan of Kanye, stating to MTV UK in 2013 that “I believe he’s one of the few free Americans.” Many musicians believe there is a set path they must take when entering the music business.
However, I feel that every time Kanye West releases a CD, it might not be for everyone. however, it’s always free and fresh.
