Excited fans have shown appreciation for the artist in the comments section of the post.

“Simple, Humble, No Distractions,” wrote one person.

“Grind mode let’s get it,” wrote another fan.

West held an enormous listening session at the Atlanta Stadium on Thursday (22 July) last week.

The “Follow God” singer unveiled Donda in front of a sold-out crowd at the venue after he announced two days before that the first public listening of his album would take place.

The album was scheduled to release last Friday (23 July), is now due on 6 August.

The event was attended by the likes of separated wife Kim Kardashian and their children, her sister Khloe Kardashian and rapper Rick Ross.
