Ye, the artist formerly known as Yeezus, told his fans on Thursday that his new album will only be available on his website.
West went on a 16-hour rant, stretching over 14 new posts on his social media sites, after he deleted everything from his account.
The Stem Player made its debut last year and is said to work well despite its unusual appearance. The player is rounded and looks like a smoke detector, a stark departure from conventional music hardware.
The strangest thing about the device is the colored light sliders that move in four directions as music plays.
There are more details on the website for the album. Donda 2 will be stored locally. The device has a measly eight gigabytes of storage, a measlyusb-c port, and a surprisingly powerful speaker.
It will allow users to modify the mix of each song, which will be broken down into component tracks like drums, bass, and vocals.
That is a bold vision for the future of consumer music. Fans will have to carry a HitClips audio player from the 1990s with them to listen to the album.
The Stem Player might be a good idea if it wasn't the only way to listen to the new album. Donda 2 won't be released via Apple Music or Spotify because the billionaire wouldn't get a high enough percentage of the profits, according to West.
He wrote that it was time to free music from the oppressive system. It's time to build our own.
Did we mention that the tiny device costs $200?
Given the recent allegations of abusive behavior by West, we will probably pass.
Maybe another artist will use a similar device in the future. It looks like a lot of people are going to pirate the new album.
