Whether he is dropping rhymes or beats, Kanye West stands tall in the spotlight, delivering music as complex as abstract art. With lyrics that make one ponder the mysteries of life, the rapper has dominated the rap game for decades. With 24 Grammy Awards to his name, he has not just broken records but created an unmatched legacy. Among those 24, two of the 46-year-old’s well-deserved Grammys came from one of his most loved albums. 

When West released his tenth studio album, ‘Donda’ in 2021, it quickly became one of the most-played albums of the year. By pouring his heart into each track on the album, he crafted a musical mosaic that was both introspective and unapologetically bold. And celebrating the second anniversary of that very album today, NFR Podcasts tweeted a congratulatory post to their Twitter, now X, page
