![]() But like with most things Ye, it doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks - Ye will do it anyways. It begs the question of if artists want fans to have such an easy ability to remix their songs, and even more broadly, if they want fans’ focus to be on remixing along with simply listening. CEO of Kano and frequent collaborator with Ye, Alex Klein, told Complex of the inspiration behind the device, “The technology intent was always clear: How do we make a device that’s super small, loud, that brings people together, and allows you to take the music and hold it in your hand or in your pocket?” He added that the device is meant so people can “create and not just consume.” The device comes preloaded with Donda, but any record can be uploaded to the Stem Player and remixed from there. What makes the Stem Player unique is that it was ergonomically designed so that users can remix songs right from their hand. The beige, palm-sized, circular device looks like something out of a mid-budget sci-fi film and was created through Yeezy Tech’s partnership with Kano Computing. The Stem Player was released last August in congruence with the release of the first installment of Donda. Tech companies made music practically free so if you don’t do merch sneakers and tours you don’t eat.” While the move is a massive protest for artist rights, it’s also a big gamble - but yet again, Ye has the clout and prestige to gamble like that. It’s time to take control and build our own.” He added in an additional post, “I turned down a hundred million dollar Apple deal. It’s time to free music from this oppressive system. ![]() Today artists get just 12% of the money the industry makes. ![]() Ye wrote, “ Donda 2 will only be available on my own platform, the Stem Player.Not on Apple Amazon Spotify or YouTube. The announcement is a welcome return to Ye discussing music on his social media, rather than his chaotic posts about his personal life, but true to form it’s still a bit of a shocking revelation. Ye announced on Instagram that the new record - set to be released on February 22 alongside a “ Donda Experience Performance” to be held the same day in Miami - will only be available on his new listening device, the Stem Player. That’s what Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is doing with the release of Donda 2. It must be nice to be so rich and famous that you can quite literally fuck around and find out.
