| Junya | Junya pt 2 | Junya (Remix) |
"Junya (Remix)" is an unreleased remix to the song "Junya" featuring Playboi Carti off of Kanye West's tenth studio album, Donda (2021). The remix features an entirely redone and sample-based beat produced by Dr. Dre.
Production[]
The song features an entirely new reproduced beat by Dr. Dre and is heavily built around a sample of Curtis Mayfield's live rendition of his 1970 song "The Makings Of You", that was initially mistaken for vocals from Dre himself. The song runs at a tempo of 148 BPM in the G key with a major mode and is played in 4/4 time.

Though unclear when exactly this remix was made, it's likely from around the same time of release. Despite Dr. Dre's contributions to the song, "Junya" would not exist until May of 2021, making it impossible for the song to have been made around the same time as the JESUS IS KING II, though the beat was almost certainly made around this time period given Dre is not known to have worked with West past 2020.
The song was first confirmed to have existed by leaker Waterfalls in March of 2023 who shared the only known snippet of the song alongside the song's filename. Waterfalls claimed the song was intended to release on the Donda 2 Stem Player as a "bonus package", though plans fell through.[1]
