Donda, the new album by Kanye West is finally out and is available on various streaming platforms worldwide. Between announcements, postponements, listening parties, and shows, the album took a long time to come, intriguing fans of the rapper from all over the world about the release of what we can consider perhaps one of Kanye’s most anticipated albums.

Tenth and not without criticism, Donda is, as we might have expected the opposite, the most talked about album of the last year. The news of the release was in fact Kanye’s manager, Bu Thiam, who announced the release on Instagram. Why didn’t Kanye do it? Because, as is perfectly in the communicative style of the singer of recent periods, to get the better of the announcement, there was the controversy on the part of West against his record company Warner.

In fact, it seems that Warner released the album without the authorization of Kanye West and blocking Jail 2, the tracklisting single produced in collaboration with Marylin Manson and DaBaby. The record company has not yet expressed its opinion on this communication, but what we know is that the release had already suffered too many postponements. Donda was in fact to be released in the summer of 2020, then on July 24 of this year, then again on August 6, and finally on 27. Inside 27 tracks and many featurings with famous names of the world music scene such as Jay-z, Chris Brown, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Lil Baby, Kid Cudi and many more.

Donda’s merchandising is handled by an exceptional partner: Demna Gvsalia. The creative director of Balenciaga has in fact taken care of the entire merch line of the album, the launch of which has been taken care of in all these months in the smallest details. Balenciaga puts its signature on Donda clothing and accessories, which can boast the words “Engineered by Balenciaga“. Among the merchandising products, long-sleeved t-shirts depicting the mother Donda West, from which the name of the album is taken, and other prints depicting the US presidential coat of arms together with a cross with the words “2024”, a clear message that communicates Kanye’s intention to run again in the US elections. In addition to the shirts also a hat and a balaclava, all of which priced between $ 60 and $ 200.
