Kanye West has revealed that his long-awaited album Donda will be released on Friday (July 23).
Last night, the rapper and producer debuted a new song dubbed “No Child Left Behind,” which is the soundtrack of a Beats commercial starring Sha’Carri Richardson.
Following that, West’s label, Def Jam, announced on Twitter that Ye’s 10th studio album, ‘Donda,’ would be released on July 23. The title of the album, ‘Donda’ is in honor of Kanye’s late mother, Donda West who passed away in November of 2007.

With so much anticipation over several months, fans took to Twitter to express their thoughts, jokingly trolling the release and what they’d do if there should be any more delays.
If Kanye West doesn't drop on Friday we might as well forget about Donda until July 24 2022
