Ye — the artist formerly known as Kanye West — is currently at work on his next LP, Donda 2, a direct follow-up to his 2021 certified gold album “Donda.”  The LP would become Ye’s first-ever record sequel.

According to Variety, Ye has already begun work on Donda 2. The news was confirmed by Chief Operating Officer of Ye’s G.O.O.D. Music, Steven Victor, who told Complex: “Ye has started working on his new masterpiece, ‘Donda 2.’”  Donda 2 would mark the eleventh entry and the first sequel album in the rapper’s discography. Details remain scant about the exact nature of the project.

Donda included 27 songs and featured guest appearances from Jay-Z, The Weeknd, Kid Cudi, and Travis Scott, among many others. It was released August 29 and set a new record by reaching No. 1 on Apple Music’s top albums chart in 152 countries in 24 hours.   Ye later released the Deluxe Edition of Donda, which featured Andre 3000, Kid Cudi, Young Thug, and more.
