Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Kanye West has officially released 'Donda 2' to major streaming platforms, bringing an end to its two-year exclusivity on the Stem Player. Originally teased in early 2022 as a follow-up to his 2021 album 'Donda', the project was executive produced by Future and initially made available only through the $200 device, limiting its reach to a niche audience. Now presented under the artist name 'Donda,' the streaming version includes 18 tracks, many of which resemble the original versions from the Stem Player release. Now presented under the artist name 'Donda,' the streaming version includes 18 tracks, many of which resemble the original versions from the Stem Player release. Some songs have been renamed or slightly altered. Future appears on multiple tracks, including 'Happy' and 'Mr. Miagi,' while a shortened version of '5:30,' previously featured on Vultures 2 with Ty Dolla $ign, also makes the cut. The album's release is notable not just for the music, but for its context. Donda 2 had gained a sort of mythic status due to its limited availability and the lack of a traditional rollout. Its arrival on streaming allows for a wider audience to engage with the project for the first time, whether they followed its early leaks or are hearing it now in full. Whether the album reshapes Kanye's discography or simply fills a long-standing gap, Donda 2 is now part of the broader conversation. Its release opens the door for new interpretations, comparisons, and critiques, with listeners now able to evaluate it on more equal footing. Check out some of the reactions below.

Donda 2: Fans in a spin after Kanye West drops re-mixed ‘lost album' on streaming services for first time
Kanye West, aka Ye, has released Donda 2 … Again… Considered by fans as the 'lost album', Ye revealed on a livestream he was planning on dropping the record, that was originally released in early 2022 on Tuesday night. Donda 2, the sequel to Ye's 2021 album Donda and executive produced by Future, was only released on the now defunct Stem Player at the time, with some tracks unfinished, forgoing traditional streaming services. In a post by DJ Akademiks, captioned, 'Ye wants to drop Donda 2 within the next couple of hours' on Tuesday, Ye could be seen working with collaborators on mixes for the album.

The latest version, released Tuesday evening to YouTube Music, Spotify and Tidal, under the artist name Donda, features 18 songs, many of which appeared on the original album, some with different names. The album includes guest appearances from XXXTENTACION, Don Toliver, Migos, Jack Harlow, Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, Baby Keem, Future and more. Several tracks also feature Future cameos, including 'Happy' and 'Mr. Miagi.' In a Donda 2 listening party live stream, Ye explains Donda 2 is his first independent release that still wasn't completely finished, but he 'wanted to get the album out there'. A perfectionist, Ye wants his art to be done his way, free from labels and contracts. Fans were both excited and a little confused by the re-release, taking to X to share their thoughts. 'It's 2022 and Ye has released Donda 2. It's 2025 and Ye has released Donda 2' one wrote. Another commented: 'Wyd tonight?' Listening to Donda 2 'Didn't that come out 3 years ago?' Others seemed pretty impressed by the release. 'What a rollercoaster. There are hits and a few misses, but the hits far outweigh the misses. I actually surprisingly really enjoyed this album, then again its from 2022 when he wasn't washed. 8.5/10,' one fan reviewed. 'Enough time has passed, Kanye West 'DONDA 2' is album of the year,' concluded another. While others were worried about the change in Ye's voice, 'You can hear the difference in Donda 2 Ye and current Ye, how he sounds so much worse is insane' one listener said. Although not everyone was happy at first — Apple Music users were left feeling a little late to the party, with the album only hitting the streaming service about an hour ago. 'Where the hell is Donda 2 on Apple Music,' one wrote on X. 'Donda 2 on every streaming platform EXCEPT APPLE MUSIC of course,' another commented. It's still unclear whether the album will be released to more streaming services.
