Kanye West has uploaded a snippet of a new song called "Believe What I Say" that includes a sample of a Lauryn Hill song.

In recent weeks Kanye West has been using social media to document his ongoing dispute with his record label, but over the weekend he decided to upload a teaser for a new song.

On Saturday (26 September), Kanye West shared a 38-second clip from his boat trip in Haiti with president Jovenel Moise. The video, captioned "BELIEVE WHAT I SAY (snippet)", features part of a new song that samples Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)".

It's the first taster of new music that Kanye West has shared since releasing his Travis Scott collaboration "Wash Us In The Blood" in June, although he did make an appearance on Ty Dolla $ign's "Ego Death" with FKA Twigs, Skrillex and serpentwithfeet in July.

Last week Kanye West revealed that he wants to give back his share of masters to all G.O.O.D. Music artists.
