Kanye West premiered his new album DONDA to a sold-out crowd in his hometown of Atlanta on Thursday night, ahead of the album's official Friday release.
West first teased information about his new music in a TV spot that premiered during Game 6 of the NBA Finals, previewing a new song titled “No Child Left Behind.” The visual was a collaboration between West, all-star runner Sha’Carri Richardson and Beats.
According to Pitchfork, the highly-anticipated DONDA, a follow up to 2019's Jesus Is King, was initially slated for release in July 2020 but was ultimately pushed forward. On Thursday evening, West finally released DONDA to a sold-out crowd at Mercedes Benz Stadium.
Photos of the event posted by fans showed a minimalist square stage:
