Album Description
Available in:
Donda 2 is the eleventh studio album by the American rapper Kanye West. It has also been described as a demo album, as it was initially released in an unfinished state on Kano Computing's Stem Player on February 23, 2022, with more songs added in an update. On April 29, 2025, West independently released Donda 2 on music streaming services via his YZY brand, with a different tracklist and updated production. Guest appearances include XXXTentacion, Don Toliver, Baby Keem, Migos, Travis Scott, Future, Jack Harlow, Sean Leon, Vory, Fivio Foreign, Alicia Keys, Soulja Boy, the Game, and Playboi Carti.

West began recording Donda 2 in early January 2022, producing it alongside Beach House, the Chainsmokers, Dem Jointz, Digital Nas, DJ Premier, Hit-Boy, Mike Dean, Sean Leon, Theophilus London, and Wheezy, among others, with Future serving as the executive producer. Although West recorded hundreds of songs during the production of Donda (2021), none of Donda 2's songs came from the Donda sessions. Donda 2 is a hip-hop album with R&B and trap elements. Lyrically, it explores West's anger and sadness stemming from his divorce from Kim Kardashian, and he directs insults towards Kardashian's then-boyfriend Pete Davidson. Multiple music critics described its sound as unfinished, and many of West's lyrics are unintelligible.

Donda 2's release was preceded by the singles "Eazy" and "City of Gods", released in January and February 2022 respectively—both of which peaked within the top 50 of the US Billboard Hot 100. West held "Kanye West: Donda Experience Performance", an accompanying listening party at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Florida on February 22, 2022, selling out 47 IMAX theaters across the United States; the event was plagued by technical failures. Donda 2 received mixed reviews, with criticism for its subject matter, song structures, lack of focus, and West's lyricism, though the production received some praise. It is generally considered one of West's worst albums. Due to its initial Stem Player exclusivity, Donda 2 was heavily pirated. Donda 2 did not chart on any known record charts; Billboard deemed it ineligible for its charts due to product bundling rules.

West was expected to update and finish the Stem Player release within a matter of months, but it received no major updates after February 2022. After West made a series of antisemitic statements in late 2022, Kano dissociated from him and discontinued the Stem Player. Numerous songs in a further state of completeness surfaced online through leaks, while others were reworked and released by other artists. In March 2025, West announced that he was returning to Donda 2. Digital Nas, who executive produced the streaming release, livestreamed his progress updating it throughout April, and West released it on streaming services on April 29.
