Anticipation is building as rapper Kanye West teases his fans that his 10th studio album Donda, named after his late mother, could be released sometime on Thursday.
West has reportedly been living inside Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium for more than a week while working on the new album after postponing the initial release, leaving many to wonder what it is that he is doing in there.
Now, another listening party from the same arena will be live-streamed with a new August 5 album release date for the album, West announced on Instagram.
Apple Music will air the event on Thursday at 9.30pm EST.
West unveiled Donda to crowds at the sold-out Atlanta venue on July 24 after announcing the first public listen of his highly anticipated album two days before.
He barely said a word while introducing his new music during the event, which brought out several big names including Rick Ross, Khloe Kardashian and his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian West, who showed up with their children.
Donda was originally scheduled to be released in late July, and though the album's new release date has been announced, it's not clear when or where the album will be available for purchase.
The Grammy winner’s album was named after his mother, Donda West, who died at the age of 58 in 2007 following plastic surgery complications.
Before the release, headphone-maker Beats released an extended clip of an advertisement featuring US track and field sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson. It features the song Glory, produced by West and Dr Dre, and it is believed that it will be one of the tracks on the new album.
This project is a follow-up to his 2019 gospel-themed album Jesus is King, which won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Album.
Last year, West announced on Twitter — with colourful cover art and a track list — that he would release the new album. At the time, his tweets indicated that the project would drop on the same day as Taylor Swift’s project Folklore, but it was ultimately postponed.

Chef Nobu's advice for eating sushi
“One mistake people always make is adding extra wasabi. There is no need for this, because it should already be there between the rice and the fish.
“When eating nigiri, you must dip the fish – not the rice – in soy sauce, otherwise the rice will collapse. Also, don’t use too much soy sauce or it will make you thirsty. For sushi rolls, dip a little of the rice-covered roll lightly in soy sauce and eat in one bite.
“Chopsticks are acceptable, but really, I recommend using your fingers for sushi. Do use chopsticks for sashimi, though.
“The ginger should be eaten separately as a palette cleanser and used to clear the mouth when switching between different pieces of fish.”

Why your domicile status is important
Your UK residence status is assessed using the statutory residence test. While your residence status – ie where you live - is assessed every year, your domicile status is assessed over your lifetime.
Your domicile of origin generally comes from your parents and if your parents were not married, then it is decided by your father. Your domicile is generally the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born.
UK residents who have their permanent home ("domicile") outside the UK may not have to pay UK tax on foreign income. For example, they do not pay tax on foreign income or gains if they are less than £2,000 in the tax year and do not transfer that gain to a UK bank account.
A UK-domiciled person, however, is liable for UK tax on their worldwide income and gains when they are resident in the UK.
