Kanye West’s ‘Donda 2’ Only Available On His Stem Player
Donda 2 is on the way but if you want to listen to Kanye West’s sequel album you will have to buy the rapper’s Stem Player to do so.
According to PEOPLE, the “Moon” artist shared the news on his Instagram on Thursday night (Feb. 17), telling his fans that the upcoming project will not be available for streaming on Apple, Amazon, Spotify or YouTube.
“Today artists get just 12% of the money the industry makes,” he wrote. “It’s time to free music from this oppressive system. It’s time to take control and build our own. Go to stemplayer.com now to order.”
The $200 device “ships with Donda” and listeners can “customize any song” or “split any song into stems” according to the Stem Player website.
In a follow-up post, West also shared that owners of the Stem Player “can play 4 different elements of the track: vocals, drums, bass and music. It also has a MP3 player available.”
He also shared what appeared to be the album’s 21-play tracklist, in another IG post.
In other Kanye news, the first act of the Chicago rapper’s docuseries Jeen-Yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy is currently streaming on Netflix. The second act will be released on Wednesday (Feb. 23) with the final installment available on Wednesday (March 2).
