Kanye recently revealed the album’s tracklist. It includes ”Real Friends” and “No More Parties in LA,” as well as “Wolves” and “Fade.” He also made a big promise today about the new record:
This is not album of the year. This is album of the life.

Update (10:49 p.m.): Wiz Khalifa has taken issue with the new album title, saying imprisoned rapper Max B is “the wavy one.”
Please don’t take the wave.

Max B is the wavy one. He created the wave. There is no wave without him.

Update (01/27, 12:42 a.m.): In a new interview, Tyga claims that he’s featured on Waves. He also says that West helped squash his beef with Drake. Update (01/27, 1:23 a.m.): It appears that Tyga was misquoted:
