24

24 is a song featured on Kanye West's 10th studio album Donda. Over time the song has gone through many major changes to the point that it is a completely different song compared to what it started out as.

12
--

The first version of this song was actually not a Kanye West song at all. It was actually first a song by rapper Calboy made in 2019 called "12". This version of the song is super generic and forgettable but somehow Kanye ended up hearing it. Even though the song was already released Kanye figured if he changed it enough no one would notice. The only aspect of this song that was used in any future versions of it was the synth, however even that was edited heavily to the point that it is unrecognizable. Kanye also changed the name from "12" to "24" since "24 is 12 doubled, so that means the song will be twice as good!" - Kanye West in a leaked studio recording.

## KayCyy

The biggest change to the song that happened in early 2020 was that Kanye got rapper KayCyy Pluto to write his own version of 24. Kanye thought this version of the song was kinda cool but nothing really noteworthy so he was looking desperately for someone else to create their version of the song.

## Lil Baby

Later on in 2020 Kanye gave the song to Lil Baby to see if he had any ideas as to what to do with the song. Lil Baby didn't really care for the song but he recorded a verse over it anyway. Kanye thought Lil Baby's verse was an improvement from what KayCyy had contributed but it still didn't capture the vibe he had in mind for the song. After a full week of nonstop meditation Kanye decided to give the song to Lil Baby who then in turn gave it to the rapper Money Man. The Money Man version of the song still includes Lil Baby's original verse for the song however the instrumental has been significantly changed.

## Vory

A version of the song by rapper Vory was created in April 2020 however Kanye didn't actually listen to it until 2021. The instrumental for this version is a reworked version of the instrumental used before KayCyy created his version. After finally hearing it Kanye created a version mashing up the drums and some of Vory's vocals from his version with KayCyy's version to create the ultimate 24. The song was considered a masterpiece by everyone who heard it however the next version of the song resulted in Kanye completely scrapping that particular idea.

## Bound 12

In 2021 a few snippets of the KayCyy version of 24 had surfaced and for some reason it was considered a "grail" in the community. Bound 12 created his famous remake of the 24 instrumental and used vocals from a cover of the song done by Carson for an ultimate edit. When Kanye first heard this edit by chance he decided in that second that he was going to put that edit on Donda as it was. However, Kanye was unable to do this due to the legal complications caused by Kanye not knowing who the fuck was singing this version of the song. Kanye decided he was going to make 24 sound more like the edit.

## Post Malone

Kanye wanted someone with a deeper voice to sing 24, so he decided to get Post Malone on the song. This version of the song was played at the Las Vegas listening party for Donda. This feature was confirmed by a reliable insider who attended the event. The full recording hasn't leaked, but there are a few snippets of Post Malone singing the song.

## Drake

At the Free Larry Hoover concert, Drake performed the hook for 24. This was hard, and Kanye should release it as a remix, but it won't happen because Kanye.

## Current Version

The version that ended up on Donda is a gospel song, that's pretty much all there is to say about it.

## Future Version

In the future the song will be changed so that it is exactly the same except KayCyy's vocals are removed, same thing is planned for the song Hurricane as well.
