Normally, when Ye — formerly known as Kanye West — releases an album y’all start wylin out no matter what it sounds like even if it’s Yeezus level bad.
And folks would undoubtedly do the same thing for Donda 2 whenever he chooses to drop that. People have been waiting for the promised sequel to West’s ‘Donda’ album released last summer from the moment the first album dropped.
There’s only one problem, though. Most people probably aren’t going to hear this album. Or, at least not initially, anyway.
That’s because West is, apparently, only dropping the album on his stem player device. Remember that? The device that Ye dropped following Donda that allowed you to remix any one of his songs on there?
Yeah, you need that thing to listen to ‘Donda 2.’ That’s according to West himself, by the way, who said the album won’t hit any streaming platforms.
He posted this on Instagram letting fans know.

“We did it Don’t matter what happens 2mrw This happened tonight For the first time in a long time I feel alive we did it kid we did lord lift me up things change let’s keep it burning,”
So, yeah. Don’t look for the album on Apple Music or Tidal or any of that. It ain’t there.
He explained his reasoning a bit, though. It’s wild but it’s not without at least some thought.
