Kanye West’s ‘Donda 2’ Only Available On His Stem Player

“It's time to free music from this oppressive system,” he captioned an Instagram post.

Donda 2 is on the way but if you want to listen to Kanye West's sequel album you will have to buy the rapper's Stem Player to do so.

According to PEOPLE, the “Moon” artist shared the news on his Instagram on Thursday night (Feb. 17), telling his fans that the upcoming project will not be available for streaming on Apple, Amazon, Spotify or YouTube.

“Today artists get just 12% of the money the industry makes,” he wrote. “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.”

In a follow-up post, West also shared that owners of the Stem Player “can play 4 different elements of the track: vocals, drums, bass and music. It also has a MP3 player available.”
