Kanye West Announces He’s Releasing New Album Donda Next Week, Deletes Post.
The new Kanye West album appears to be coming out sooner than anyone thought.
On Saturday (July 18), 'Ye announced the new LP in a since-deleted post on Twitter. "New album DONDA coming July 24," he captioned a picture of a handwritten tracklist for the upcoming LP. The new album, which is named after the rapper's late mother, will feature 20 songs including the recently released single, "Donda," a song Kanye put out to honor his mother on her birthday (July 12), and the Travis Scott collab "Wash Us in the Blood."
The song "New Body," which was originally slated to appear on West's Yandhi album, is also listed. With Yeezy deleting the post shortly after putting it up, it is unclear whether all the details of the tweet are still valid. But Kanye clearly has new music he is ready to give to the world.
Prior to the announcement, West was expected to drop an album titled God's Country. He also teased the Jesus Is King 2 album, which he worked on with Dr. Dre. It is currently unknown if these projects are separate or if Kanye has combined them under the new titled Donda, but if Kanye's tweet stays true, we will know in less than a week.
The announcement of the new album comes as Kanye is gearing up his campaign to run for president later this year. He recently successfully got his name on the ballot in Oklahoma and is petitioning to do the same in South Carolina.

I appreciate the thread, but I'm not checking for this. I don't know if he ran out of money for good ghost writers but the lyrics on Yeezus were pretty bad. I loved the concept but the lyrics were trash. You can't do an experimental album like that and then slack off on the rapping part.
I checked out Life of Pablo but the roll out for that was weird. It was a Tidal exclusive and it he kept altering it. I'm listening to it right now and it's actually sounding pretty good, but again, his lyrics are trash and that only highlights the fact that he has a slightly annoying voice for rap.
Ye seemed like it came and went and I still haven't heard anything from it.
I checked out Jesus is King and it came across as corny. "Jesus Walks With Me" but the concept overall was just corny. It sounded like a typical Christian rap album. It was a weird gimmick for Kanye to do considering his support for the Donald Trump and the way him and his TV family promote themselves. And now this guy went back to trying to get on the ballot in some states to run for president just to promote this album too. I can't support someone who makes a mockery of our election process AND who's harming the process itself considering what happened with foreign interference in the last one.
