KANYE West has released a new “Donda stem player” ahead of her listening night for her new album this week ahead of its highly anticipated release.
The player, which costs $ 200, allows listeners to easily loop tracks, speed up or slow down the pace of a recording, and isolate different instruments.
On August 24, 2021, West officially filed legal documents in Los Angeles to change his name, which he previously revealed to be linked to his religious views.
West first changed his name to Ye in 2018, however, he did not request that this be legal.
Kanye is planning his third listening event, having hosted the first two at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
The legendary record producer once promised fans that he would drop Donda on August 6.
However, after the first and second live broadcast events ended, the album still hasn’t been released.
