24-time Grammy winner Kanye West is making waves on streaming apps despite making his fans wait for two years for a new album.

Despite Not Releasing Music for Years, Kanye West Makes It to This Coveted List of Hip Hop Artists Alongside Eminem And Metro Boomin

Kanye West [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west/] is a living legend in
hip-hop and has proved it from time to time. However, in the past two years, the
singer has made no new album or solo songs. There have been talks that Ye is
crafting a new full-length album and people close to him have apparently
listened to some parts of it. But fans have only waited, and there has been no
specific timeline for when the new album will drop.

Despite this unrest among fans, the rapper has made it to this coveted list of
hip-hop artists alongside Eminem and Metro Boomin.


KANYE WEST HAS KEPT FANS ENGAGED EVEN WITHOUT A NEW ALBUM

X (formerly Twitter) user Hip Hop All Day recently rolled out a list of artists
who surpassed 60 million monthly listeners on Spotify. It included famous faces
like Drake, Travis Scott, Doja Cat, Eminem, Nicki Minaj, 21 Savage, and Metro
Boomin. But this time Kanye West joined them and it was indeed surprising
considering he has not rolled out a new album for two years. The last album Ye
released to the public was ‘Donda’, in August 2021 and it topped the Billboard
200.

This achievement points out the sheer loyalty of his fans. Despite his
announcing or canceling the release of the upcoming album several times, they
continued to cherish his previous songs. In fact, legendary actor and musician
Will Smith [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/] has been obsessed
with West’s music as well. In his podcast episode Class of ’88, his son Jaden
Smith recalled his fascination with the album ‘Watch the Throne’

This, however, was not the first time he made history on Spotify.


THE POP ICON GARNERED MORE STREAMS AFTER THE RELEASE OF DONDA

In 2021, Kanye West, who goes by the name Ye now, took over the minds of fans
with the album ‘Donda’. Not only did it break records on charts, but revived
older albums of the singer on Spotify, making him the only artist to reach one
million with ten albums. These albums included ‘The College Dropout’, ‘808s &
Heartbreak’, ‘Late Registration’, ‘Graduation’, ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted
Fantasy’, ‘Yeezus’, ‘Ye’, ‘Watch The Throne’, and ‘The Life of Pablo’.

As of now, the Atlanta-born superstar is gearing up for the release of his new
collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign. The latter has shared several updates on
it in recent months. Many musicians have already heard the tracks but were asked
to not share the information with tabloids, leakers, and fan pages. So fans can
only hope that the day comes soon and until then they can continue to stream him
on Spotify.
