Wale has shared a preview of a new collaboration with Kanye West.

Wale releases his new album ‘The Album About Nothing’ on March 31, but first has shown fans clips of a team-up with West via Snapchat. This follows a tweet from Wale last week in which he called West a “real live genius”.

Preview the yet-unnamed track in the YouTube video below. It’s not yet known whether it will feature on Wale’s album or West’s upcoming LP.

Meanwhile, Kanye West recently argued that “racism is a dated concept” in a new interview with a French TV station. The interview, which was filmed and broadcast by Clique, saw West speak for half an hour on a number of subjects.

West made a comment that race is no longer what puts the biggest gap between people. “Racism is a dated concept,” he said. “It’s like a silly concept that people try to touch on … to separate, to alienate, to pinpoint anything, it’s stupid. … It’s something that was used to hold people back in the past, but now there’s been so many leaps and breaking of the rules that it’s played out, like a style from the 1800s.”

West filmed the interview in Paris, the same city where it was reported he had his laptop stolen. The reports were subsequently denied. The rapper also played four live dates in the city as part of Paris Fashion Week.

All of this follows an eventful week spent in London in which he spoke to students at Oxford University before enlisting the help grime MCs including Novelist and Skepta for a tiny gig at Koko in Camden, which was announced just hours before it began.

The rapper also recruited the help grime MCs for his performance of new single ‘All Day’ at The Brit Awards on February 25. It has since been reported that West and Skepta will collaborate.

The last official release from West was new single ‘All Day’ which will lead up to West’s upcoming album ‘So Help Me God’. [NME]
