Donda [V2] (mar 7, 2021 – jul 7, 2021)

Description:

After taking a break from music in early 2021, Ye went to work at the Pio Pico studio in LA with an entirely new vision for the album. While the name remained the same, the sound shifted to be more experimental and less soulful. Working with producers such as E.VAX, Dem Jointz, and Digital Nas, Ye went through hundreds of beats, laying down vocals and trying to come up with ideas for songs. This era would continue until Kanye decided to finalize the album, shifting to the more minimalistic release sound. The unofficial cover is an edited image from the Pio Pico studio.
