Finally, Kanye West has released his tenth studio album, DONDA. After three large-scale listening events and plenty of teasers over the last year, the rollout for the album culminated with a pot-stirring event at Soldier Field in Chicago, during which Kanye introduced DaBaby, who made homophobic comments a few weeks ago, and Marilyn Manson, who has been accused of rape and sexual assault, on stage with him. On Sunday morning, Kanye released the official studio album, stunning fans, who have already been declaring DONDA as a masterpiece.
While many of DONDA's songs appear on the updated Staff Picks playlist, including "Hurricane" with Lil Baby and The Weeknd, "Praise God" with Travis Scott and Baby Keem, "Jesus Lord" with Jay Electronica, "Off The Grid" with Playboi Carti and Fivio Foreign, and more, DONDA wasn't the only project to release last week.
