"Mitus Touch" (also known by the official names 2 Rihannas and New Rihanna) is an unreleased song by Kanye West and Rihanna dating back to the So Help Me God sessions in 2014.[1] The song had initially been intended for a copy of Rihanna's album ANTI when Kanye had still been executively producing for it, but had been shelved and given to him to release, which had also gotten shelved.[2]
The song had initially featured verses from J. Cole, Jeremih and Eminem from when the song had still been owned by Rihanna, although none of the feature artists had carried over. The title "Mitus Touch" is in reference to the producer of the song, Keyon Christ a.k.a. Mitus.[3]
Background[]
The first known version of the song dates back to 2014 and features only Rihanna and Kanye going back and forth with occasional mumble from both of the artists.[4] The beat is different from further versions and has pitched up Kanye vocals. It's unknown if another version of this song exists without these pitched up vocals.
The song was worked on again, this time as a reference done by Kanye with finished vocals throughout as well as backing vocals from an unnamed singer.[5] A later version featured an entirely newly produced intro by Keyon Christ.[6]
J. Cole, Jeremih and Eminem (as well as presumably Pusha T) had all recorded feature verses initially intended as references for the song throughout the rest of 2014 and mid-2015.[7] A version featuring them all is said to exist via producer Keyon Christ.[8]
Going into late-2015, the song was scrapped from ANTI and had been given to Kanye. The song was worked on some time throughout the SWISH sessions, although its unclear if Kanye had ever recorded for it or if the Pusha T and Jeremih references were the only vocals recorded for it.[9]
The song wasn't worked on at all throughout the Waves or Life Of Pablo era, though it was brought back for the TurboGrafx 16 sessions. The version of this copy of the album is said to feature the Pusha T hook. It's unclear how developed the final version of the song was before TurboGrafx 16 era had ended.
When the Rihanna demo of the song had leaked on the 19th of September, Keyon Christ reported it to Rihanna whom taken the leak down.[10] The song may have been given back to Rihanna and brought back into consideration for her next album.
Lyrics[]
[Hook]
That new Rihanna in the front
Bitches in the back they don't like me though
Why? I can tell you 'bout stupid hoes
Why? I bet she don't act stupid though
[Verse 1]
Cuz I cut a bitch
I fuck a bitch, go and find another bitch
And I never trust a bitch
You done touched a n***a 30 times
On some baby mother shit
Talkin' bout you celibate
But you still suckin' dick
This that half a brick, quarter brick
Aye, come and place your order bitch
More of that gutter shit
[Hook]
New Rihanna in the front
Bitches in the back, she don't like me though
Why? I don't know, she might be broke
Why? I can tell you bout stupid hoes
Why? I bet she don't act stupid though
[Verse 2]
She know that I have sex with 'em
If you tryin' get lit then go ahead light it ho
What you bitches fightin' for?
Nah, I can't even that’s why you can't sit with us
You need to just sit your ass down
I heard you fucked that n***a well I fucked that n***a too
And they probably didn't tell you that’s what suckers n***as do
And if he had a chance with me he would have never fucked with you
[Hook 2]
Cause that New Rihanna in the front (Bitch)
Bitches in the back, they don't like me though

Why? Thirsty hoes is tryin' get chose
Why? I bet she don't act stupid though
[Bridge]
Cut that bitch in the bathroom
