“30 Hours” finds Kanye reflecting back on a past relationship—likely with Sumeke Rainey—from the point of view of his former relationship with Kim.
Kanye and Rainey dated for seven years and broke up in 2004. It takes about 30 hours to drive from Chicago to Los Angeles. In the early 2000s, Kanye moved to Los Angeles to break into the music business and record The College Dropout. He travelled back and forth to Chicago often to visit Rainey.
This song is the latest track from Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Fridays series, and the fourth song to make the track list for The Life of Pablo, behind “FACTS,” “Real Friends,” and “No More Parties in L.A.” It features a sample of Arthur Russell’s “Answers Me.”
This song was released the day after Yeezy Season 3, the release of his fashion line and debut of his newest album, The Life of Pablo.
“30 Hours” was certified gold by the RIAA on February 27, 2020.
