Friends (Also known as All These Friends Of Mine) is a Unreleased track made in the Donda (Pio Pico sessions) sessions. It features production from Digital Nas & Ojivolta.

Background[]

The track has been mistakenly attributed to Chief Keef. While the exact date of its creation is unclear, the beat is believed to date back to 2017. Kanye recorded "All These Friends of Mine" on May 26, 2021.

A cut-down freestyle version of "All These Friends of Mine" was commonly included in tracklists throughout 2021. This version merges the production elements from two earlier freestyles of the song. It initially leaked with a misleading file date of November 30, 2021. In some leaked handwritten notes, Consequence wrote, "Write lyrics to Re Cut" in relation to "Friends."

Digital Nas recorded the hook for the track, and the filename references Cailin Russo, labeled "All These Friends of Mine CAILIN." However, there are no clear contributions from her in this rendition, suggesting that Digital Nas's vocals may serve as a reference track for her.
