TIDAL teases Deluxe Edition of Kanye West’s “DONDA”.
It’s been about 3 months since Kanye West released his highly anticipated new album “DONDA“, the project which earned one of the biggest debuts of 2021. Now hints and teasers of a deluxe version starting to pop up. A couple of weeks back, Apple Music teased the project through their platform, and now a Billboard of the same appears in LA. “A deluxe version of Yeezus’ tenth recording miracle,” reads the note on the digital billboard.
Just after the Billboard in LA, streaming platform TIDAL also teased the project through a tweet. “Kanye West presents Donda Deluxe,” they wrote. The original already had 27 tracks with star-studded guest appearances. The deluxe version could feature the Andre 3000 collaboration “Life of the Party” which was previously shared by Drake. Recently, a teaser of Kanye West’s “Use This Gospel” remix with Eminem also surfaced online, so there’s also a possibility of getting the full version on DONDA Deluxe.

In September, Nikolai Skorobat, a sound engineer of the GOOD Music boss teased a DONDA project with unreleased songs. “Actually this album [DONDA] is not finished yet,” he said. “That is, it came out, but it is quite possible that after some time we will hear a different sound, options. themes, films. Now ‘Donda’ is out, and I’m working on his old tracks, because West wanted to go through all the archive and make a playlist of forgotten tracks. There are a lot of them. Therefore, in the near future I will work in this direction.”
Donda 2 was ineligible for inclusion on Billboard charts such as the Billboard 200 since it “is not available separate from the purchase of one of [West’s] $200-plus Stem Player gadgets.” On March 4, 2022, Billboard argued that linking a new album to a physical device constitutes as “bundling,” a method that the organisation ruled illegal in 2020 and enacted a regulation prohibiting such strategies from being reported as record sales. It was launched only on the Stem Player, with four songs available on February 23, 2022, and additional songs were provided through updates, the first of which was uploaded the next day.
