Kanye debuted “Hurricane” during his live-streamed listening event from Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Thursday night, along with collaborations with JAY-Z, Young Thug, Pusha T, Playboi Carti, Lil Durk, and more.

“Hurricane” has been around for at least three years and has gone through several changes. According to HipHop-N-More, the song was originally titled “80 Degrees” and was first previewed back in 2018 when Kanye was working on his scrapped Yandhi album.
