Main article: Donda/Unreleased

DONDA: WITH CHILD, alternatively DND, DND: WTH CHLD or just DONDA, was intended to be Kanye West's tenth solo studio album that was announced in the summer of 2020. It was supposed to release on July 24, 2020, though this date was completely missed. Work would continue on the album until the end of the year, after Ye lost the presidential election.

A lot of concepts from God's Country, an album being developed in late 2019 - early 2020, with heavy social, political, and religious themes, were carried over to this project after Ye decided to make an album dedicated to his mother. A visual album film was even created, directed by Vanessa Beecroft.

Work on the album would be postponed until roughly March 2021, where CyHi confirmed that work had resumed on DONDA.[1] The sound of the album would drastically change at this point. Over a year after its original announcement date, the album was released as just Donda, with a completely different sound and theme than its 2020 version.

The DONDA: WITH CHILD era has a lot of unreleased content, a majority of which would leak around September 2023, At the time, the album's cover art was the iconic green-red-blue artwork that ended up being replaced with an all-black image on release. [2][3]

A lot of artwork for the album would be leaked in 2024 by the artist himself, Pierre Louis-Auvray.
