Kanye West is still tinkering with his upcoming record it seems, and has ditched the long-standing working title of SWISH.

Now going by the name Waves, Kanye's seventh studio release has also been given an updated tracklist with an extra track called "Ultra Light Beams" - plus hints that A$AP Rocky, Swizz Beatz, and The-Dream are set to appear as 11th hour special guests.

Kanye has also doubled down on his claims that this is the "best album of all time".

This is not album of the year. This is album of the life.

Included on the LP are "Real Friends" and "No More Parties In LA", Kanye's collab with Madlib and Kendrick Lamar. Recent cut "Facts" - along with the gigantic "All Day" and tender "Only One" - don't appear to be on the album.

"Fade" - which features Post Malone and Ty Dolla $ign - was teased last year during a DJ set. "Wolves", Kanye's Sia and Vic Mensa team up, was debuted at his Yeezy Season 1 launch show.

Hudson Mohawke has claimed responsibility for this latest name change:

I'm partially responsible here, sorry heh. #waves
