However, West has seemingly changed his mind, with GOOD Music artist Pusha T revealing that music was definitely recorded for the project.

"I believe that there were intentions for a Cruel Winter and there's so much music floating, but GOOD Music isn't one to just piece a project together," Pusha T told MTV News.

"I can tell you right now, I probably have 15 verses that are just over beats, that are lying around wherever 'Ye and his hard drive is right now.

"And I'm sure Cyhi, Sean, Cudi, Tip, everybody has other production or verses on these records as well."

He added: "I think 'Ye really tries to keep the brand, keep it up to a certain standard and piecing together a record like that, it's just not gonna work."

Cruel Summer reached number two on the US Billboard 200 and the UK compilation chart.
