The only way to listen to Ye’s next album will be by purchasing his $200 music player, the billionaire musician and fashion designer said. The album isn’t coming to « Apple, Amazon, Spotify, or YouTube, » he said Thursday. « Today, artists get just 12% of the money the industry makes. It’s time to free music from this oppressive system. It’s time to take control and build our own. » Ye, who formally changed his name from Kanye West last October, took to Instagram on Thursday night to explain how it will work. « ‘Donda 2’ will only be streaming on my own platform, the Stem Player, » Ye said. « You can download new music from stemplayer.
