Last Name (Feat. Ant Clemons; 2:20 second clip)

"Last Name" was created as part of Yandhi, where Kanye stated his intention to move away from his last name "West," since he claimed it was rooted back to his enslaved ancestors. This was also around the same time he decided to rebrand himself as "Ye."

The track was first previewed on Instagram in September 2018 and was later leaked, in full, in October 2019.

24 (Feat. Kaycyy and Sunday Service Choir; 2:17 second clip)
