Rapper Kanye West dropped a brand new track to kick off the promise of new music "every Friday" and his website developers even put a clever Easter egg into the code.

The new track is called "Real Friends" and it loads as soon as his website is pulled up. Once the track plays through, it teases the release of his next song called "No Parties" - a collaboration between West and fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar.

The site is pretty spartan: Just a photo of a younger West playing keyboards with the music playing in the background. But if you pull up the source code, you'll see that developers Lane Goldberg and David Baker snuck in some ASCII Artwork of that photo.

Here's what it looks like, side by side:

West initially botched the release of the song, posting on Twitter that there "was a slight distortion in the main loop" of the track, and asked people to not download it. He uploaded the better sounding version a short time later.

Now check out the track here.
