Kanye West releases exclusive remix album on Imeem
We’ve gotten used to artists debuting new albums on sites like Imeem a week or so before their official release, in online listening parties. But Kanye West has taken the idea a step further, by releasing a new remix compilation on the site.
It’s called Sky High, and is a mixture of old Kanye songs and newer tracks, all remixed by DJ Benzi and Plain Pat (we’ve not made those names up). The album will also be streaming on hip-hop blogs later this week, apparently.
It’s an interesting promotional tactic – remix albums used to come out around the end of a campaign around an artist’s album, but for West it’s serving as a warm-up for his new platter. If we still call them platters. Anyway, it’s an interesting move – get it here.

The playlist isn’t working on imeem any more
I don’t know if they intentionally took it down or what, but it’s not there and the people are pissed!
