Kanye West, better known as Ye, is a one-man talent machine. Mr. West’s music is not just a blast from the past but a timeless anthem that echoes through the eras of his artistry. From revolutionizing hip-hop's golden era to constantly reinventing himself by shedding old skins for new ones, Ye has always been ahead of the curve. But just as his last ‘Vultures’ drop from the series had fans on an edge, Mike Dean, an old buddy of Ye’s, swooped into São Paulo, bringing back a classic track that still rules the playlist charts.

While Dean's throwback to the Ye era shows he has still got that Midas touch, his space-age contributions have been like a joyride through a nostalgia city.

Mike Dean’s got a legendary reputation as a mixer, producer, and master in American hip-hop, but his work with Ye really takes him to the next level. From initially mixing iconic albums like ‘The College Dropout’ and ‘Late Registration’ to producing hits on ‘Graduation’ and ‘Donda,’ Dean has been a major player for Ye’s trailblazing success. Thus, even after their 2022 fallout, he recently rocked the stage in São Paulo with ‘Father Stretch My Hands,’ flaunting the timelessness of the Kanye West magic.

‘Father Stretch My Hands’ are tracks from Mr. West’s seventh studio album, ‘The Life of Pablo,’ which was co-produced by Mike Dean among a variety of producers, including Rick Rublin and Noah Goldstein. Released on February 14, 2016, through GOOD MUSIC and Def Jam Recordings, the song stands out not just for its production but also for featuring a star-studded lineup, including Rihanna, Young Thug, Chris Brown, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, and more.

While a nostalgia trip was just what the doctor ordered amidst Ye’s modern breathers with the ‘Vultures’ series, the Atlanta native is now all about delivering what fans have been eagerly waiting for as rumor has it, the unfinished ‘Donda 2’ is on the way.

American record producer and singer Digital Nas just teased fans with a sneak peek of their upcoming music from ‘Donda 2’ on his Instagram story. In their chat, Nas dropped some never-before-heard tracks for Ye, including a spicy preview of ‘Security.’ To top it off, there is an audio clip sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats.

The exchange teases some fresh beats or revamped versions of old hits. Ye’s excited response to Nas, saying “Bars going crazy,” totally amped up the album’s potential. While the details are still under wraps, it is enough to set fans buzzing. Plus, with this news dropping right after the third anniversary of the album, it might just be the epic climax Ye’s fans have been waiting for as ‘Vultures’ get ready to take its final bow.
