In director Coodie’s comprehensive
Kanye West-centered documentary,
Jeen-Yuhs, viewers get an intimate look at Ye’s creative process. Through over 20 years of footage, fans see the work that went into his iconic albums, including
The College Dropout, Late Registration, and
Graduation. In the Netflix documentary’s third and final part, titled “Act III: Awakening,” we see parts of the Wyoming sessions, which took place between 2017 and 2018, which resulted in the albums
Ye, the Kid Cudi-collaborative
Kids See Ghosts, and
Teyana Taylor’s K.T.S.E.
In an outtake shared by
Time, Ye and Taylor work on a song called “Cold Blooded,” which ultimately didn’t make the final tracklist of
K.T.S.E. Unsatisfied with the sound of the song, Ye strips “Cold Blooded” of its original beat, then creates a new instrumental track in real-time.
Before making a name for himself as a rapper, Ye climbed the industry ladder producing tracks for Jay-Z, Ludacris, and Alicia Keys. In recent years, he’s worked behind the boards for artists like Christina Aguilera, Lil Nas X, and Pusha T.

Check out the outtake above.
