Kanye West has finally released his much anticipated Donda album. Donda hit streaming services on Sunday morning after numerous delays. 

The album, named after the musician’s late mother, is West’s 10th studio album, following the evangelical Jesus Is King, which was released in 2019.

According to Kim Kardashian, Donda‘s released version is dramatically different following three listening events as well as at a “performance art” wedding. Originally scheduled for release on July 22, the album now features 27 tracks and contributions from Jay-Z, The Weeknd, Young Thug, Jay Electronica, The Lox, Travis Scott, and others. 

But that’s now all. 

Following the release of Donda on Spotify, West took to social media, claiming his Universal Music record label released the album without his approval. “Universal put my album out without my approval and they blocked “Jail 2” from being on the album,” he wrote. According to Variety, while reps for Universal had no official comment on the allegation, sources at the company called it “preposterous.”

What does the future hold for this official released version of West’s newest album? We don’t know, but if 2016’s Life of Pablo is any indication, fans should expect remixes and re-records for weeks to come.
