In the past week, the Internets received a surprise in the form of new tracks by Kanye West, sort of. Thank a contributor from the KanyeToThe forums for providing a compilation of tunes by the G.O.O.D. Music general that pre-dates his College Dropout days.

The first leaks were demos of songs like “Jesus Walks” and “All Falls Down” that would later go on the define the Chicago MC‘s career. More unheard records have since unearthed and have been compiled into a 15-song mixtape affectionally coined The Prerequisite.

Die hard Yeezy fans have probably heard a few of these tracks, many of which have been circulating the information highway for years. “Home (Windy),” featuring John Legend in particular happens to be favorite around these parts, and it’s actually the original version of Graduation track “Homecoming.” Other recognizable cuts like “Hey Mama” and “Family Business” also appear on the tape.
