Kanye West is entering 2016 on a high note, releasing a new track titled "Facts" moments before midnight on Thursday night (Dec. 31).

Earlier on Thursday night, West's wife Kim Kardashian tweeted, warning fans that a new song was on the way. It arrives as a teaser for the rapper's highly anticipated album, currently titled Swish, which is expected to be released sometime this year.

Releasing a New Year's track is hardly unprecidented for Kanye, who released his Paul McCartney-assisted "Only One" late on Dec. 31 last year.
