The previous year was undeniably enthralling for fans of Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, owing to his musical resurgence and triumphant return to the spotlight. While anticipation soared for the release of his highly awaited 'Vultures' album, Ye continually surprised his audience with unprecedented announcements. Renowned for his penchant for shocking revelations and notable collaborators, the rapper remained a prominent figure on the social radar. However, amidst all the excitement, he stunned fans by unexpectedly producing Playboi Carti's '2024' track alongside Ojivolta and Earl on the Beat.

In a sudden wake of events, almost 4 months after the track’s debut, the sample records from the track have been unveiled on the social radar to give a glimpse of the underlying genius of the team.

When Playboi Carti released '2024' back in December, fans were not only surprised by the sudden drop but also by the producer tag attributed to Ye. The music video hit exclusively on YouTube on December 14, featuring the names of the 'Donda' rapper, Ojivolta and Earl on the beat. Now, nearly four months after its release, a user by the handle ‘J.K’ has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to upload the sample from the original track, surprising fans once again.

The sample was originally found in a Reddit community focused on discussions about Playboi Carti. Although the sample offered a glimpse into the track's creation rather than the finished product, it provided a subtle behind-the-scenes perspective that highlighted the brilliance of Carti, Ye, Ojivolta, and Earl on the Beat. Following the track's release, fans flocked to watch within minutes, echoing the resurgence of rap and now, with the unveiling of the track sample, the excitement continues unabated.
