The artist formerly known as <a href="/profile/KanyeWest" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kanye West</a>, Ye has officially announced the release date for his highly-anticipated upcoming studio album, Donda 2. The new album will be released on February 22, 2022 (2/22/22) as Ye revealed on Instagram on Thursday morning (January 27).
Sharing a photo of his <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-recreates-childhood-home-for-chicago-listening-event-report-news.138016.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">childhood home &#8212; the same one from his Donda listening sessions</a> &#8212; on fire with the album&#8217;s release date juxtaposed on top, Ye revealed that the new album is executive produced by <a href="/profile/Future" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Future</a>. Considering his recent <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/young-thug-on-future-bringing-out-kanye-west-at-rolling-loud-u-dead-ass-wrong-for-this-news.144631.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">buddy-buddy sessions with the Atlanta-based rapper</a>, it makes sense that they&#8217;ve clocked in a lot of studio time in recent weeks. Some fans are confused about Future&#8217;s involvement on an album that is dedicated to Ye&#8217;s late mother. The hip-hop community loves to jokingly <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ciara-and-russell-wilson-address-futures-public-toxicity-news.126486.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">call Future &#8220;toxic&#8221; because of his many relationship problems over the years</a> and it remains a mystery as to how his sound will coincide with Ye&#8217;s on Donda 2.

The rollout began a few weeks ago with the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-welcomes-jay-electronica-to-jump-on-eazy-remix-news.146509.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">release of the new single &#8220;Eazy,&#8221; with The Game</a>. Ye takes aim at Pete Davidson in his now-infamous lyrics, also mentioning the Kardashians and saying, &#8220;I got love for the nannies, but real family is better/The cameras watch the kids, y&#8217;all stop takin&#8217; the credit.&#8221;
During his studio sessions for Donda 2, Ye has been spotted with <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-spotted-in-the-studio-with-blueface-ahead-of-donda-2-news.146121.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">everybody from Jay Electronica to Blueface</a>. It will be interesting to see what the final tracklist looks like.
