'Daphne "E.P Da Hellcat" Mitchell and Greg "Olskool Ice-Gre" Lewis founded Abstract Mindstate in Mississippi in the late '90s, eventually returning to their native Chicago. There, the duo became part of the local scene, which included everyone from Lupe Fiasco to Twista to Chilldrin of da Ghetto. Kanye began producing for Abstract Mindstate while they worked on their debut (and only) LP, We Paid Let Us In!.'

'This is actually the first time that Kanye has produced all of the songs on an album that wasn't his own since Common's 2005 LP, Be. Fun fact: he even did all the cratedigging for Dreams Still Inspire's samples. He also appears on the album alongside Luka Sabbat, Jonquia Rose, comedian Deon Cole, and fellow YZY SND member Tony Williams.'

Track feels like a mid-2000s throwback, always nice to hear a Ye production where you can tell it's basically just him and not a huge collab with a bunch of other producers, reminds you he's still got it

great production, great song overall

Did Kanye write this too? Sounds like his delivery and wordplay

Nah these guys are underground vets, had one album in 2001, one in 2005, and soon a third produced by Ye in 2021, they definitely write their own stuff

Was reading about them and it made a good point, I can't think of a single other male/female duo in Hip-Hop

He produced this track for them in 2001 too:

Full album out on Aug. 6th, Kanye feat on it too

Damn, thanks for the info! Gonna retool this into an album thread

Lord this sounds great

This was amazing. 10 on 10 rapping and production. Can't wait to hear the rest.

Sounds great

In

The song and production are insane

06 ye back with a classic solo album and classic produced album like he did with Be by common

2000s Ye can’t be back

wow

Is this an old album tho?

'The story behind Abstract Mindstate's Dreams Still Inspire is pretty interesting, to say the least. In 2018, 'Ye phoned up Lewis for help during his marathon of albums in 2018 — that's the chaotic summer when Kanye oversaw Pusha T's Daytona, Teyana Taylor's K.T.S.E., Kids See Ghosts' debut LP and his own ye — and then pushed for Lewis to reunite Abstract Mindstate for YZY SND.

Mitchell — now a certified behavioral health professional — was flown out to Calabasas and the three-year on-and-off recording sessions began. 25 songs have been whittled down to 14 (including introduction and skits), all produced by Kanye and issued as part of a package that YZY SND is describing as "Adult Contemporary Hip Hop."'

Brand new baby, check the article in OP, it's got some really interesting stuff

I would love a del tha homosapien x Ye album

Three years in the making!

Legit, I think this is gonna be something special

For sure the song sounds so fun too
