It looks like Kanye West is doing secret listening parties for his new album Donda. Over the weekend he played the album for NBA superstar Kevin Durant and Justin Laboy. Although a date has not been announced for the album yet Laboy claims it will be released this week.
Kanye played his new album for me & @KDTrey5 last night in Vegas. Man listen! The production is light years ahead of it’s time, and the bars sound like he’s broke & hungry trying to get signed again. Any artist who plan on dropping soon should just push it back 😤 #Respectfully

Kanye West album is really done. When it drops this week, we probably not going to listen to anything else for a while.. Let me go enjoy all the current artist I’m listening to until then. God bless✌🏾 #Respectfully

Yesterday West rented out Church LV in Las Vegas where he previewed the God-focused album. Photographer Nigel D was one of those in attendance and shared his thoughts about the project.
The album is really about having faith in God and overcoming adversity. Kanye speaks on personal struggles and struggles others face. Positive messages that you can turn up to.

One of the highlights to the photographer was a track that featured Pusha T.
Then he had a track with Lil Baby and I was ready to party. The music is still centered on God but there is a variety in sounds. Some slow, some trap, etc. Some songs could be played in a church, some in a club. pic.twitter.com/FuFHkR1Mje

The listening previews aren't done yet. There is apparently another one scheduled to take place in Atlanta later on this week. Yeezy season appears to be approaching, we'll see if Donda drops this week like it is rumoured to be.
