Cruel Winter [V2]
After the 2013 rendition of Cruel Winter ended production, Kanye revived it in 2016. With only one official single released, this album took many ideas from popular music at the time, including many trap elements, remixes, and the biggest music stars. The label supposedly worked on it as late as November 2017, but the album has yet to come. There isn't an official cover for this album we know of, so we are using the single art for "Champions."

Champions [V8] (with Kanye West, Gucci Mane, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Travis Scott, Yo Gotti, Quavo & Desiigner) Likely the version planned for the Cruel Winter album based on its file date. Very similar to V6, but Quavo is only on there once, along with some alternate mixing changes. Leaked with the multitrack stems as a bonus for the "This Is The Glory" groupbuy. | Lossless Full | External Link | |
Champions (Remix) (with 070 Shake) A verse from 070 Shake for "Champions" leaked as a remix, this is likely an official verse recorded for the song considering she was a part of G.O.O.D. Music at this point and involved in Cruel Winter sessions. Unclear whether the verse was recorded before the single released or for the scrapped remix that would've included the rest of the G.O.O.D. Music roster. | CD Quality Full | External Link | |
