Kanye West has released 16 songs from his new album and Donda sequel Donda 2, and as promised, it’s currently available exclusively through West’s Donda Stem Player. The follow-up to his 2021 LP was reportedly executive produced by Future and features contributions from Migos, Jack Harlow, Soulja Boy, Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Baby Keem, the late XXXTentacion, and more. The batch of songs is dubbed the “V2.22.22 MIAMI” release. 

Some songs that debuted at the Miami event, including the Playboi Carti-featuring song “Mr. Miyagi,” have not been shared yet. It’s currently unclear if more tracks will become available. The version available today appears to be an unfinished version of songs that were shared at the Miami event. At publication time, no album artwork has been shared. Find it at the Stem Player website, and see the tracklist of what’s available so far below. 

Donda 2 will purportedly not come to streaming platforms and its official release is currently locked to the $200 device. West claimed that he turned down a $100 million deal from Apple, choosing instead to release the album via his own platform. On February 23, only four songs—“Security,” “Pablo,” “Open Road,” and “We Did It Kid”—were made available.

When Donda 2 was first announced over Instagram, West said the album would be out on February 22. However, instead of officially releasing the LP then, the rapper spent that day hosting the “Donda Experience Performance” at LoanDepot Park in Miami where he premiered new songs and brought out guests Migos, Jack Harlow, Marilyn Manson, and DaBaby. Fivio Foreign and Alicia Keys also joined West for a live performance of their new single “City of Gods,” which appears on today’s Stem Player release of the album.

Kanye West is one of the headliners at Coachella this year, and he said he plans on bringing Travis Scott onstage to perform together. Since dropping Donda last year, West has also released the single “Diet Coke” with Pusha T, promoted the latest trailer for the three-part documentary Jeen-Yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy, and teamed up with the Game for the collaboration “Eazy.”
