Kanye West debuted his 10th album, DONDA, at a listening event in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Thursday night.
Jay-Z was featured on what seemed to be the last track on Donda. In his verse, Jay even teased a possible sequel to the pair’s 2011 collaborative album Watch the Throne. “This might be the return of the throne,” Jay raps on the track.
Wow, Jay-Z and Kanye in the same picture is insane! 😮🔥 (Source: Twitter – @kenzy___d, 07/23/21)

Ye and JAY team up for the first time since Drake’s “Pop Style” in 2016. Despite their strained relationship, they briefly reunited at Diddy’s 50th birthday in December 2019.
Lil’ Durk is Another Feature on ‘Donda’
Another surprise feature on the album came from Lil Durk. The Chicago rapper previously said that he missed a chance to feature on the project. “I missed the jet,” Durk wrote under a post from Justin LaBoy about Kanye’s Donda. “Well next album.”
I lied I made ye jet lol

After the premiere of Donda, the rapper took to Twitter to say he was just joking. Lil Durk happened to reference Kanye and JAY-Z’s relationship on his verse: “Ye and JAY still brothers / They both billionaires.”
Donda, which is Kanye’s tenth studio album, is scheduled to drop in just a little over an hour at midnight on Friday, July 23. Kanye will also reportedly perform at Rolling Loud Miami this weekend.
