With its February 22 release date quickly approaching, ‘Donda 2’ – the conceptual follow-up to Kanye West‘s 2021 album ‘Donda’ – is easily the year’s most anticipated musical project yet.
But, for those making room on their Spotify and Apple Music playlists for the highly anticipated LP, they should know Kanye has no intention of placing it on any major streaming platform.
Look inside to find out where you can get ‘Donda 2’ when it drops next week.

Taking to Instagram late Thursday (February 17), ‘Ye surprised his 14.1 million followers with the announcement that ‘Donda 2’ will have a singular home – STEM.
“Donda 2 will only be available on my own platform, the Stem Player. Not on Apple Amazon Spotify or YouTube,” Kanye announced. “Today artists get just 12% of the money the industry makes. It’s time to free music from this oppressive system. It’s time to take control and build our own. Go to stemplayer.com now to order.”
Launched in August 2021, the $200 Stem Player – a device created in partnership between Yeezy Tech and Kano Computing – is a pocket-sized music player that gives customers to adjust the settings on any song (thereby making it customizable).
While STEM will cover the digital release angle of ‘Donda 2,’ West has yet to confirm if the album will have a physical rollout.
Great keep it psycho
And if Ye wanted to fuc an ugly weak b**** like you ya legs would spread like the ocean..
LMAO okay
. With the stem player. The sound quality and features are top of the line. It’s not something that can be easily bootlegged He is a very smart artist.
Although he is annoying AF – I gotta hand it to him, this is GAME CHANGING innovation. Which artist out there doing this with 14M followers? I’ve never bought a Kanye album but I love music production and this is cool 😎👍🏾 If it was Beyoncé I would part with that $200 real quick. But a Kanye album? Nah, I’ll pass.
Still innovative tho. 😏
This is hilarious. And the stupid ppl will follow. He did the same with yezzy.. he was like why buy nike when you can buy yezzy ppl fell for it. Now they gonna make this men richer 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
