Kanye West is changing the music game. He just dropped four songs from his Donda 2 album, but there’s only one way to hear them as of right now.
Today (Feb. 23), Ye unveiled the new songs from the LP, only to be heard through his Stem Player device. After announcing his Donda 2 album, executive produced by Future, back in January, Ye revealed on Feb. 17 that the project would only be available via his new Stem Player.
“Donda 2 will only be available on my own platform, the Stem Player,” he captioned a presumed snippet of the new album on Instagram earlier this month. “Not on Apple Amazon Spotify or YouTube. Today artists get just 12% of the money the industry makes. It’s time to free music from this oppressive system. It’s time to take control and build our own. Go to stemplayer.com now to order.”
He added in another post, “You can download new music from stemplayer.com. You can play 4 different elements of the track: vocals, drums, bass and music. It also has a MP3 player available. We currently have 67,000 available and are making 3,000 a day. Go click the link in my bio to purchase.”
This afternoon, the songs “Security,” “Pablo,” “Broken Road” and “We Did It Kid” were all released on Ye’s Stem Player. If you have the device, you can connect it to your computer and the songs will download. You can purchase the device on Kanye’s official website here or stemplayer.com.
