Kanye drops “Real Friends” as promised on kanyewest.com along with a preview of a track called “No More Parties in LA” featuring Kendrick Lamar. Kanye reveals that "No More Parties in LA" features production from none other than Madlib.

Speculation of the return of a classic Kanye era returns as Kim tweets #EveryFriday. Fans hope for the return of G.O.O.D. Fridays.

Finally the wait is over. After a tease on Kim Kardashian's Twitter, Kanye drops “Facts”. The track borrows cadences from Drake and Future's Jumpman and takes shots at Kanye's past collaborator, Nike.

I’m finishing my album and my next collection…

After months of speculation, and almost a year since the first single "Only One", Kanye takes to Twitter to announce his album and new collection is nearing completion. The new collection is assumed to be "Yeezy Season 3".

Following a preview of the track at "Yeezy Season 2", Kanye's right hand man Virgil Abloh premieres the full version of “Fade” while DJing at London’s XOYO.

Out of no where, Kanye joins Soundcloud and posts two new tracks. First is "When I See It" which features Kanye singing over The Weeknd's "Tell Your Friends" which Kanye produced.

When I See It:

And second is a remix of "Say You Will" off his 2008 "808s and Heartbreaks".

As he did with "Yeezy Season 1", Kanye premieres, or rather previews, a new song at "Yeezy Season 2". With no official single release, fans are left with various cell phone recordings to hold them over until further news on the album.

Fresh off "All Day", Kanye drops his album title along with its artwork, leading to an internet-wide search for the source. It's revealed to be a 13th century Monastic symbol for the Virgin Mary.

The banging new single, one many 'Ye fans had been waiting for, is premiered in over the top fashion with flame throwers and a stage full of hype men. The track features Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom and Paul McCartney.

Following up on "Yeezy Season 1", Kanye performs the haunting "Wolves" on Saturday Night Live's 40th Anniversary Special. Performing alongside singer Sia and Chicago rapper Vic Mensa, a break out moment for him, the performance is one of the highlights of the Special.

As anticipation for a new, as of yet unnamed Kanye project grows, Kanye debuts another song, "Wolves". Teased as "TRACK #1 ON KANYE WEST'S NEW ALBUM", the song features a much different and darker sound than the previous "Only One" and "Four Five Seconds".

Kanye premiers his first clothing collaboration with Adidas, including the Yeezy Boost 750s and additional silhouettes. Available only in limted amounts, first through a reservation system, then through Adidas in-store only, The Yeezy Boost 750 sell out.

With a cryptic tweet and an equally cryptic website, "Yeezy Season 1" officially begins.

After Kanye West previewed "FourFiveSeconds", a song with Rihanna and Paul McCartney at the iHeartMedia Music Summit on January 21, 2015, the official music video is released by Rihanna. It features the trio in a high contrast black and white style.
