Yep, in less than a month, Kanye West’s latest album, “DONDA 2,” will be released. The rapper made the announcement via Instagram on January 27, sharing a picture of what appears to be a burning house on a billboard. Inscribed on the burning house are the numbers “2 22 22.” It’s surely fitting given Kanye’s penchant for symbolism (the album is named after his late mother, after all).
On top of its release date, Kanye also confirmed that the album will be “EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY FUTURE.” While Ye and Future have dominated the rap game for a decade-plus now, the two have only collaborated on 2014’s “I Won,” in which they rapped about their then-fiancées, Ciara and Kim Kardashian, respectively.
Julia Fox, with whom Kanye has entered a relationship amidst his divorce from Kim Kardashian, opened up about hearing the Ye and Future collaborations before its release. Speaking on the “Forbidden Fruits” podcast (via The Source), she said, “It’s honestly just an honor to be in the presence and to be able to witness history happening.” She further added, “Even being in the studio with [Kanye] and Future and listening to the new songs which, by the way, are f*****g insane. That’s really cool. I love that and I love music. Music has saved my life on many occasions.”
