Kanye West: 10 Best Songs You Haven't Heard
5. I'll Fly Away (Feat. Deray And Tony Williams)
Although the track is only 70 seconds long, this gospel cut from The College Dropout is one of the sweetest moments on any Kanye project. The song covers The Humbard Family blues rendition of the song, turning it into a more melody-driven soulful, gospel cut.
The short track is a perfectly encapsulates of Kanye’s ability to pull obscure samples and make them work within the world of hip hop. The cut is also an excellent pre-cursor for ‘Spaceship’, which is about escaping the retail and work life.
