Kanye West & Jay Z did that! □ □ #DONDA /oGtBiZjXGr “Made in the image of GOD, that’s a Selfie” – Jay Z At the same stadium where Kanye is right now, hopefully finishing the album. Jay reportedly offered his verse the same afternoon as the listening party. It also offers a look into Donda’s recording process. In a verse where he both checks Kanye’s past political antics and teases a future Watch The Throne album, Jay offered the night its singular highlight. One of the most talked-about moments from the listening event was at the end when Ye premiered a new collaboration with Jay-Z. Another potentially new partnership is Apple, which live-streamed Kanye’s listening event in Atlanta, and which also makes Beats, the advertising partner for Kanye’s promotional video, which is essentially a Beats ad. The promotional video for the album features Nike athlete Sha’Carri Richardson, and in one of Kanye’s Instagram posts, he shares a picture of his outfit, including Nike socks. Many fans noticed that Kanye’s new album rollout appears to include Nike, a company Kanye famously ended ties with before moving his influential Yeezy brand to Adidas. The lead single “No Child Left Behind,” features the chorus: “He’s done miracles on me,” and throughout the listening event, Kanye broke out into prayer. Though, while many fans have interpreted Donda as a direct response to Kanye’s divorce, the album also fits in line with his 2019 record Jesus is King in its continued religious influence. On one song, reportedly titled “Welcome to My Life,” Kanye raps: “Tell the assassins I escaped from Calabasas.” Elsewhere on the album, Kanye can be heard emotionally singing “I’m losing my family,” and another song features what sounds like West’s daughter, North, pleading with him to stay home. The album includes several references to Kanye’s impending divorce from Kim Kardashian, with whom he’s been married for the past 7 years and has 4 children. Two weeks later, on August 5th, West reconvened everyone at the stadium for another listening session and livestream for the still-evolving album. A representative for Mercedes Benz Stadium confirmed that West was indeed staying at the arena until he finished the album. The rapper, clad in his all-red outfit from Thursday night, was spotted at a Major League Soccer game at the stadium days after the premiere. That weekend, reports popped up suggesting that Ye was in fact camping out at Mercedes Benz Stadium finishing the album. But instead of a straightforward release that Friday, last-minute changes appear to have delayed the final product. Yet, on July 22nd at the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Kanye premiered what appears to be his new album, complete with features from Lil Baby, Pusha T, Don Toliver, and more. Kanye is known to delay and push projects back ad infinitum, so hearing any new music seemed like an unlikely occasion. Reports suggest it’s slated for a release sometime in the coming weeks.When Kanye announced the release of his long-awaited tenth studio album Donda, it wasn’t hard for fans to feel a hint of disbelief. Regardless, despite the consistent live streams on Apple Music, there is still no word on a release date for Donda. The second Apple Music-exclusive stream brought in 5.4 million viewers. The first live listening event for Donda broke Apple Music’s live streaming record, with 3.3 million people tuning in. This marks the third time that Apple Music and Kanye have teamed up in recent weeks. If this third installment follows the structure of the first two, the album will have been dramatically overhauled in the days since the last listening event, it will be livestreamed on Apple Music, and the album will remain unreleased. Users from around the world should be able to tune in to the livestream on Apple Music in the Music app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. The report says this Donda event will be held at Soldier Field stadium in Chicago on Thursday, August 26 at 10 p.m. According to a new report from Variety, Kanye is holding a third public listening session for his unreleased Donda album, and it will be exclusively live streamed on Apple Music. Kanye West and Apple Music are teaming up for a third exclusive livestream on Apple Music next week.
