- LOS ANGELES — Controversial
rapper Kanye West has released his lost album ‘Donda 2’ on streaming medium.
This comes after he revealed on a livestream that he was planning to drop the
record.
-
- The roots for ‘Donda 2’ date back to early 2022, when the
rapper posted on Instagram that the sequel to his 2021 album would arrive that
February and be executive produced by Future, reports ‘Variety’.
-
- The album was only released on Stem Player, forgoing
traditional streaming services, and some songs from the project were
reconfigured for artists including Fivio Foreign and the Game.

-
- As per ‘Variety’, the current version of ‘Donda 2’, released
on various streaming services under the artist name Donda, features 18 songs,
many of which appeared on the original iteration.
-
- The lot of the songs appear to be the same, some with
different names, and Future cameos on several tracks including ‘Happy’ and ‘Mr.
Miagi’, ‘5:30’, which was included on West’s ‘Vultures 2’ album with Ty Dolla
Sign, also pops up on the tracklist in a truncated version.
-
- Jack Harlow features on the track ‘Louie Bag’, while Sean
Leon cameos on ‘SCIFI’. West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian can also be heard on
‘SCIFI’, saying, “I married the best rapper of all time. Not only that, he’s
the richest Black man in America. A talented, legit genius who gave me four
talented, incredible kids”.
-
- Amid his unhinged rants on X, West has been prolific,
sharing various songs on social media and flash-releasing his most recent album
‘Bully’.
-
- He dropped ‘Bully’ in March in the form of various short
films that featured his song Saint West in a wrestling ring using a mallet to
fend off YOH, Toru Yano, Tiger Mask and El Desperado. The videos swiftly
disappeared from social media, leaving the future of ‘Bully’ and its official
release in limbo. On a livestream earlier, West said that he was eager to
release the project and would update mixes later.
