Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has officially brought DONDA 2 to streaming platforms for the first time. He originally released the sequel to 2021’s Donda exclusively on his experimental Stem Player platform.
The project delivers 18 tracks packed with high-profile collaborations, including XXXTENTACION, Don Toliver, Migos, Jack Harlow, Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, Baby Keem, and Future, who also served as the album’s executive producer.
Ye initially premiered the album during a February 2022 listening party, though many of the tracks remained unfinished and never made it to streaming platforms as he prioritized the Stem Player rollout.
The album closely mirrors its 2022 version — even the cover art remains unchanged, depicting Ye’s childhood home engulfed in flames. Still, some notable changes stand out.
The track “530,” which also appears on Vultures 2 with Ty Dolla $ign, surfaces again on Donda 2 in a shortened form. Ye removed his controversial collaboration with The Game, “Eazy,” from the album entirely. In its place, he added a new track with Future titled “Mr Miyagi,” which also features vocals from Playboi Carti.
On “Sci-Fi,” Ye includes a clip of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian reciting her 2021 Saturday Night Live monologue:
Ye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, can still be heard on ‘Sci-Fi’ delivering her 2021 Saturday Night Live monologue:
“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.”
After a stretch of hellacious public stunts, Ye appears to be refocusing on music. He recently dropped the visual album Bully and teased a provocative follow-up titled WW3 (now renamed Cuck), featuring songs with even more controversial titles.
