Kanye drops new album
Kanye West will launch his long-awaited new album, Donda, with a listening party at the Mercedes-benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga.
The rapper will play the album, named after his late mother, for fans on Thursday.
Images of the cover art from the album were unveiled on Monday, just before tickets for the album listening party were released.
Kanye has made a name for himself by hosting elaborate album parties — a Madison Square Garden fashion show in New York City was used to debut The Life of Pablo in 2016 and he flew journalists and celebrities to his ranch in Wyoming for his Ye listening bash in 2018.
Donda marks West's first album since the release of gospel hit Jesus Is Born in 2019.
Meanwhile, it has also been announced that West has produced Lil Nas X's latest single, Industry Baby, to be released on Friday.
