Kanye West's monastic chamber at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium

After last week's listening party and the phantom release of Donda, Kanye West seems to have rolled up his sleeves to finally show the light of his tenth studio album. Waiting to find out if the new release date, August 6, will actually be respected, West posted on Instagram a photo that confirms the rumors that the rapper was "locked up" in the Atlanta stadium to complete the album.

Despite the hotels adjacent to the arena, Kanye and his team have chosen to set up their bedrooms directly inside the stadium, thus creating a small spiritual retreat where a billionaire rapper lives and sleeps in a few meters of room. . In addition to the open suitcase and the few clothes placed in the room, sneakers and boots are seen neatly lined up while a smaller suitcase was used as a piece of furniture to be placed next to the bed. In addition to the undoubtedly comical effect, the photo tells us of West's commitment to completing what some say might be the best job of his career.

Meanwhile, to celebrate Kanye's residency, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium has decided to change its name on Twitter to officially become the DONDA Studio at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The next steps, pending the unofficially scheduled release for next Friday, are two new listening parties scheduled for 5 and 6 August. In short, we just have to cross our fingers.
