Word got out a few days ago that Kanye, Big Sean, and others are working on what might be the sequel to Cruel Summer when a Snapchat video captioned Cruel Winter leaked. According to The Source, the new track features Quavo, Desiigner, Yo Gotti, Travi$ Scott, 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, and Big Sean, though the artist did not say who was featured on the record before launching it.

“I had the basic beat for a year and a half. It sounded right for this project,” West said on Big Boy, according to Time. “This is the hook we should have for the first single.”

He also revealed that the final track will be longer in the album version – the new song labeled “Champions” on Soundcloud and YouTube, follows below.
