Kanye West releases 'lost' album 'Donda 2' to streamers

By Kanye West’s recent standards, the surprise release of his “lost” album “Donda 2” to streaming services is relatively sedate news.The rapper, now known as Ye, first released “Donda 2” in very limited fashion in 2022, when its core musical components were uploaded into a proprietary Stem player, a physical device where listeners could tweak its mixes.Alex Klein, the founder of Kano, the company that made the Stem player, told The Times in 2022 that West was initially “very funny, and can be super candid,” but after his collapse into neo-Nazi sloganeering, Klein said, “I asked Kanye not to take the path he’s on.
