Kanye West's much-anticipated "DONDA 2" will finally be released. Fans and audiences got first access to the album with the "DONDA 2" grand listening party in Miami.
Set in his iconic 2.22.2022, "DONDA 2", which is now already exclusively released in Stem Player, coincides with a grand listening party together with the album collaborators.
However, it would not be a Kanye West release week if there was no "Yeezy-orchestrated chaos" in place.
The anticipated listening party was live-streamed via Ye's official youtube account, which includes at least a 2-hour delay in production.
However, it was segued using the rapper's heartbeat on worldwide audiences.
Things you might have missed
The night started with Kanye's childhood home engulfed in flames with a feature with the late XXXTENTACION in "True Love." X also made a cameo on "Selfish."
DONDA 2 also reunited hip-hop Georgia Trio Migos with Quavo and Offset. Although Takeoff is nowhere to be found, Baby Keem completed the set for DONDA 2's "We Did It, Kid."
Kanye's estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, also made a surprising brief appearance on the album as Ye sampled her Saturday Night Live Monologue compliments on "Sci-Fi."
The Soulja Boy and Kanye beef seemed to be finally squashed as Draco's vocals boomed throughout the Loan Depot Park in "First Time in a Long Time." The former was removed from Ye's "Remote Control in the album's 2021 prequel.
The "DONDA" hitmaker also took a swipe at Louis Vitton in his collaboration with Jack Harlow on "Louis Bags."
The beef stemmed from the LVMH CEO's snub on Ye after the fashion house's first black artistic director Virgil Abloh, Ye's close friend, passed away.
Jack Harlow's appearance in "DONDA 2" is a surprise for many, especially after receiving a massive co-sign from Ye days ago for his single "Nail Tech" with Yung Miami.
Other collaborators
An appearance by Ye's Sunday Service Choir preceded a live performance by Ye, Playboi Carti, and Fivio Foreign, who performed some tracks from his prequel album, "DONDA," including "Hurricane" and "Off the Grid."
He is also joined with the controversial Marilyn Manson and Da Baby in "Jail."
Fivio Foreign and Alicia Keys also made an appearance in performing their latest collaboration, "City of Gods."
However, the Future-produced album is reportedly still not finished yet as it was still not on Stem Player, the only platform that Ye decided to release "DONDA 2" on.
