The list of features on Donda reads like a who’s who of pop culture. The Weeknd, Arianna Grande, Playboi Cardi, Lil Yachty, Kid Cudi, Jay Electronica, DaBaby and Young Thug, are a few of the talents who appear on this project.
Fivio Foreign’s feature on “Off The Grid” has the rapper sounding hungry and purposeful. However, what’s most impressive, is how he put a battery in Kanye’s back for his verse, which should easily be considered as one of the best of 2021.
He spits:
First it go viral, then they get digital
Then they get critical, no, I’m not doin’ no interview,
Mask on my face, you can’t see what I finna do
Had to move away from people that’s miserable
Don’t wanna link you, I ain’t finna sit with you
Ain’t finna talk to you, ain’t finna get with you
Don’t get me mad just ’cause I don’t wanna injure you
She put my paintings inside of her living room
Look at the problems and issues I’m livin’ through
They tryna drown me, I rise to my pinnacle
Walked through the block like the neighborhood general
Donda is nearly two hours of the edgiest Christian rap you have ever heard. Kanye is wearing his faith on his sleeve and clearly on a mission to bring his peers and fans to God.
