After a year of teasing a release and performing streaming parties in Atlanta’s Mercedes Benz Stadium, Kanye West has finally released Donda. 

His tenth album features 27 songs in honor of Kanye’s late mother, Donda. The album features popular artists such as The Weeknd, Jay-Z, and Travis Scott.

Donda, when compared to other albums by Kanye, is a remarkable work of musical and expressive art. Kanye yet again proves that he can tap into just about any genre he wishes to conquer.

Songs such as “Hurricane,” “Jail,” “Moon,” and “No Child Left Behind,” are golden tracks and cannot be labeled as anything other than masterpieces.

Many “old Kanye” fans would argue that his signature crude rap style fits him best, but Kanye has recently switched his genre to a mix of gospel and rap. Donda has received some hate for being completely clean, which follows the trend of Kanye’s previous album, Jesus is King. 

The fact is that Kanye is the only mainstream rapper who could pull this off, as cursing has become a staple in rap, pop, and R&B music. 

As for the album cover art, Kanye under-delivered with a solid black screen. Skeptics who already had wavering views on the new album were further unimpressed by the album’s cover.

But Kanye’s ability to produce a successful yet clean album goes to show the diversity in the art he creates through his music.
