🏆 Kanye West - Praise God [V31](ref. Pusha T) (feat. Baby Keem) (prod. 30 Roc, Zentachi & Ojivolta)(Praise, Savior (Interlude))
Alternate Baby Keem reference track/feature for "Praise God", nearly 3 minutes of which was repurposed for "Savior (Interlude)" on Kendrick Lamar's album Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers . Partial recording was found in the session files for Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers , which leaked on May 28, 2023.
