Kanye West Sings "Only One" A Cappella, Previews New Rihanna Collaboration At Industry Presentation

Kanye West‘s Yeezus follow-up is slated to drop sometime this year. Over the past few weeks, there’s been a slow stream of info regarding the forthcoming record: we’ve heard the Paul McCartney-featuring single “Only One”, of course, and recieved word of a “crazy” collaboration between himself, the Beatle, Rihanna, and Ty Dolla $ign. By Seth Rogen and  Theophilus London‘s separate accounts, there’s been at least two listening parties (one of them in a limo!) and yesterday, another one took place at an industry event, albeit for just a few moments.

As Billboard reports, West made a surprise appearance at a presentation during the iHeartMedia Music Summit in California. After striding in with laptop in hand, the rapper spoke for about 45 minutes sans microphone, addressing the radio industry, Daft Punk, and the experience of working with McCartney on “Only One” – including how he jokingly asked the Beatle, “What was pussy like in the ’60s?” (he later sang an a capella version of the song to a dead-silent room, according to Billboard). Next, he proceeded to play a part of a never-before-heard duet with Rihanna on his laptop. And then, in typical Kanye fashion, he slammed the laptop shut and walked out to roaring applause.
