He recently moved into the Mercedes Stadium to finish the long-awaited, much-delayed album.

According to one of Kanye West’s representatives, the new date for the release of his album, “Donda” is now set for 6 August. 

The album was initially set to release last week after being delayed by more than a year. Kanye hosted a massive listening party where fans got the inside scoop of the new album and the reaction towards the music was excellent. 

Much to everyone’s disappointment, Kanye’s album did not get released at midnight that evening as anticipated. Instead, Kanye decided to move into the Mercedes stadium in Atlanta to finish the album. Clearly, this indicated that the rapper wasn’t satisfied with the work just yet and that there were parts that still needed to be recorded.

According to Kanye, he feels much more inspired in the stadium which is why he decided to move in and put all his energy into the creation of “Donda”. 

Kanye created a bedroom, recording studio and even hired a chef to make his new living arrangement as pleasant as possible. 

Recently, a representative has spoken to Variety to reveal that the album will drop on 6 August. 

“Donda” is dedicated to Kanye’s mother. It will feature a host of collabs, including a song that Kanye recorded with his mentor, Jay-Z. The duo had a long-standing feud which now seems to have been resolved as it is the first time in a while that they are actually heard sharing a music stage.
