He claims it's at the Singapore airport but we suspect it's just his living room.

For a guy without a new record (yet; more on that in a second), we've talked quite a bit this summer about Mr. West here at Kanyeapologist. Since Memorial Dayish, 'Ye released the pretty awesome single "Power," gave his support to LeBron, joined Twitter where he only follows Justin Bieber (no, really), and talked to the interwebs about jeans. We already know that new record of his is (probably) out in mid-November (just in time for Christmas) so it's appropriate that Kanye has now decided to play Santa. On Sunday, Kanye announced via some tweets that he's putting out a new song of some sort every Friday and how much of an altruist he is.

I know yall need the music so I'm dropping 1 new song every weekend until Xmas. It may be my song it may be a new Jay song etc...
I'm calling it good Fridays. Yall know every Friday yall gone have a new joint from our family. We look at the game completely different now
It's about the fans. No more holding back. That's why I dropped see me now... It wasn't about me it was about the Summer the BBQs etc...

"See Me Now" refers to the song he released on August 11 featuring Charlie Wilson and a young lady named Beyonce. Besides that, Kanye also put out a pretty awesome Swizz Beatz-helmed remix of "Power" that prominently features Mr. Beyonce. And you know what? Kanye is three-for-three as far as we're concerned. And now he's talking about unicorns and RZA so we suspect there's only more genius to come.
