Islamabad, 30 April 2025: Kanye West’s long-delayed 11th studio album, Donda 2, has finally made its way to popular streaming platforms like Spotify, YouTube Music, and Tidal.
Originally expected for release in 2022, the album was initially exclusive to West’s $200 Stem Player, leaving many fans without access.
Now, under the title DONDA, the 18-track album is available to a wider audience with minor adjustments to the original material.
The revamped album features collaborations with some notable artists. Future appears on standout tracks such as “Happy” and “Mr. Miagi,” while rapper Jack Harlow adds his touch to “Louie Bag.”

The track “SCIFI” features a soundbite from Kim Kardashian, where she calls West “the best rapper of all time” and praises him as a “legit genius” who gave her “four talented kids.”
Some tracks, like “530,” which previously appeared on Vultures 2 with Ty Dolla Sign, are included in shortened versions.
While Kanye’s musical creativity shines through, the album’s release has been marred by the artist’s controversial actions, from dramatic livestreams to Twitch bans and public outbursts.

Despite West’s previous promises of ongoing mix updates, it remains uncertain whether Donda 2 will remain available across all streaming platforms.
However, its surprise drop marks a significant shift, moving away from the experimental Stem Player model to full digital access for fans.
With his other projects, like Bully, still in limbo, this unexpected release might be West’s latest attempt to challenge the traditional rules of music distribution.
