"Donda 2" is the eleventh studio album by American artist Kanye West, originally released in a limited format on February 23, 2022, and later re-released widely in 2025. Initially available only via Kanye's custom device, the Stem Player, the album has now been officially distributed on major streaming platforms under the artist name “Donda.”
The album consists of 18 tracks and features collaborations with a wide range of artists, including XXXTentacion, Future, Don Toliver, Migos, Baby Keem, Travis Scott, Vory, Alicia Keys, Fivio Foreign, The Game, and Playboi Carti. Executive production was led by Kanye West and Future, blending hard-hitting trap beats with experimental, atmospheric textures.
Lyrically, "Donda 2" continues the themes of grief, identity, faith, and personal struggle that defined the original Donda album. However, it takes on a more raw, stripped-down aesthetic, reflecting Kanye’s mindset during a turbulent period marked by public controversy and emotional introspection.
While the album’s unconventional release strategy initially divided critics and fans, the eventual mainstream release has sparked renewed interest and reappraisal, with many praising its bold production choices and emotional vulnerability.
"Donda 2" is now available on all major streaming platforms.
