Kanye West adds 20 minutes of new material including André 3000-assisted single on deluxe cut of ‘Donda’

Ye, or, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, has shared the deluxe edition of his latest album, Donda. His tenth solo studio album, Donda‘s Deluxe edition arrives with 20 additional minutes of previously unreleased material and alternate versions of previously shared tracks. New additions include the André 3000-featured “Life of the Party” with IRKO, “Remote Control pt. 2” with Young Thug, and Kid Cudi-assisted material. Other new single additions include “Keep My Spirit Alive pt. 2,” which is the final release on the deluxe version, “Up from the Ashes,” and “Never Abandon Your Family.”

The artist played “Never Abandon Your Family” during his first album listening party at Mercedes Benz Stadium on July 22, but the song was left off of Donda‘s final cut. Typically, deluxe LP reissues include the new material at the end of the previously released album. Ye, as always, has approached his deluxe version differently, instead choosing to integrate new songs throughout the original tracklist. He has also moved several tracks from the end of the original album to the front, altering the album’s holistic listening experience.

Donda‘s deluxe cut is out now via all major streaming platforms. Listen below.
