Kanye West Drops New Album Donda

Kanye West finally released his long-awaited album this, after multiple listening parties and would-be release dates that came and went. The album, which has 26 songs, hit Apple Music and Spotify Sunday AM.

The release was not without drama in the middle of the night, Kanye posted tweets which seemed to say the most recent hold-up was that DaBaby hadn't signed the necessary releases to clear his verse for the song "Jail." DaBaby is not on the track, instead, Jay-Z appears. You'll recall, Jay recorded his verse hours before the first listening party in Atlanta a sign their feud was squashed. It was confusing when DaBaby replaced Jaz-Z at the Chicago listening party, but Jay is now back.

The album was initially supposed to be released July 23. That date got moved to August 6. Then it became unclear exactly when the album would hit streaming services. Kanye's manager promised it would be released following last Thursday's listening event at Soldier Field in Chicago and that promise was kept.

Ye famously tinkers with his albums even after their release, "The Life of Pablo," so the same may happen with "Donda. As for the songs on the album, it's heavily religious ... "Donda Chant," "Jail," "God Breathed," "Off the Grid," Hurricane," "Praise God," "Jonah," "Ok Ok," "Junya," "Believe What I Say," "24," "Remote Control," "Moon," "Heaven and Hell," "Donda," "Keep My Spirit Alive," "Jesus Lord," "New Again," "Tell the Vision," "Lord I Need You," "Pure Souls," "Come to Life," "No Child Left Behind," "Ok Ok, Pt. 2," "Junya, Pt. 2," "Jesus Lord, Pt. 2."

Here's what's interesting Drake seemed to drop a clue last week his album will drop Friday so with the release of "Donda," Drake and Ye will be going head-to-head for #1 bragging rights.
