Kanye West¡¯s long-lost album Donda 2 just dropped and the internet¡¯s already spiralling
Kanye West, or should we say Ye, has finally released his long-lost Donda 2 album on streaming platforms¡ªyears after teasing it exclusively via Stem Player. With 18 chaotic, futuristic tracks, celebrity features, and even a Kim Kardashian SNL snippet, Donda 2 feels like Ye¡¯s musical diary. Unfiltered, unpredictable, and oh-so-Kanye.
It¡¯s 2025 and Kanye West just did the most Kanye thing ever¡ªhe surprise-dropped Donda 2, the so-called ¡°lost¡± sequel to his 2021 Donda, straight onto Spotify and Tidal like it never ghosted us in the first place.
Kanye West new album titled Donda 2 released
After two years of cryptic livestreams, broken promises, and that bizarre Stem Player exclusivity stunt, Ye¡¯s fans can finally breathe¡ªand stream. Initially teased in early 2022, the project had been locked away like a secret mixtape only the chosen few (with cash to burn on that USB-like gadget) could hear. But now? It is public, chaotic, and classic Kanye.
What is Donda?
Titled Donda on platforms, yes, he kept it minimalistic, it is a sprawling 18-track fever dream featuring Future, Ty Dolla Sign, Jack Harlow, and even his ex-wife Kim Kardashian... sort of. The track SCIFI includes a rather iconic clip from Kim¡¯s 2021 Saturday Night Live monologue where she, very diplomatically, describes Ye as a genius and ¡°the richest Black man in America.¡± No word yet on whether Kim, now 44, signed off on the cameo, but it is giving very much ¡°I forgot I had a mic on.¡±

Jack Harlow also pulls up with his lyrical luggage on Louie Bag, while the album¡¯s production sounds like a rollercoaster through Ye¡¯s mind¡ªloud, unpredictable, and unapologetically out there.
Of course, this is Kanye we are talking about. The man who literally said he admired Hitler and called it a ¡°social experiment.¡± Back in 2022, those antisemitic rants got him cancelled by brands faster than you can say ¡°Yeezy.¡± And just earlier this year, he spun another series of hate-fuelled tweets into the ether, claiming (and then unclaiming) that it was all for art.
Kanye West's album starring his son Saint
Despite it all, Ye stays musically active. Remember Bully? That random short film album that starred his son Saint West fighting anime wrestlers in a ring? Yeah, us neither. It vanished from the internet faster than his last apology.

As for Donda 2, Ye said during a livestream that this is not the final form. The album might keep evolving¡ªbecause why release a finished album when you can drop an eternal WIP instead?
In the world of Ye, nothing is ever really finished... except maybe your patience.
