West’s 10th studio album, "Donda," will be released a day after the Georgia listening party.
The album is named after West's late mother, Donda West, who died at the age of 58 in 2007 from complications with plastic surgery.
In July, New Musical Express reports that West shared an Instagram post that showed his upcoming album will have at least 15 tracks, which has since been deleted.
Fans previously expected the album to release on July 23, 2021, following West’s first listening party at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The album’s release date was pushed back to August, so West could add his finishing touches to his highly-anticipated project.
