Kanye West’s forthcoming album Donda 2 is arriving on February 22, accompanied by a “Donda Experience Performance” listening event scheduled at LoanDepot Park in Miami. In an Instagram post, Kanye shared a teaser of new music playing on the same Stem Player he released in conjunction with Donda last year. He claims the Stem Player will be the only way fans will be able to listen to the album, as it will not be released on streaming services. 

“Donda 2 will only be available on my own platform, the Stem Player,” he wrote. “Not on Apple Amazon Spotify or YouTube. 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.” An order page for the Stem Player is currently live; it currently costs $200. 

Kanye West has been vocal about his grievances about streaming services and the way major labels release records. Three of his Donda live events streamed live via Apple Music. When the album finally came out, Ye announced that his label had released it without his permission. 

In 2016, he released The Life of Pablo originally as a Tidal exclusive; the service also livestreamed the album’s premiere listening event. At a concert that same year, he blamed Tidal and Apple for preventing a future collaboration with Jay-Z.
