Kanye West has announced that his forthcoming album Donda 2, which is currently scheduled for release on February 22 (with a listening event set to take place that same day at LoanDepot Park in Miami), will only be available to hear on his Stem Player. On Instagram, the rapper posted a teaser of new music playing on the Stem Player that was released alongside Donda last year, claiming that the new album would not be available to hear on “Apple, Amazon, Spotify, or YouTube.”
“Donda 2 will only be available on my own platform, the Stem Player,” he wrote. “Not on Apple Amazon Spotify or YouTube. Today artists get just 12% of the money the industry makes. It’s time to free music from this oppressive system. It’s time to take control and build our own.”
