Kanye West wants 'Donda 2' played at 'births, graduations, weddings, and funerals,' says producer Digital Nas, who's working on the sessions
albums have been a learning experience for Nas, who describes his relationship with Ye as an apprenticeship. He originally presented the rapper with a folder of 150 beats; West freestyled over approximately 60 of them. By the timewas nearing release, Nas thought four of those tracks would make the track list, but only “Junya” and “Remote Control” made it. “So out of those 60 freestyles, to know that only two made the cut? That made me realize like, ‘Oh, OK.
. “He doesn’t take it well when you say no,” Nas says, laughing. “You got to give him a reason why.” Nas likens his time so far with Ye to boot camp, or “hazing” in the Army. “It’s almost like going through that phase was like, ‘Oh, this is making me better,'” he says. “So I’m down for it.” The whirlwind of Nas’ life in the past year has given him a new perspective. Originally, he saw making music as a replacement for therapy; his songs are like diary entries explaining how he feels. And when he compares his 2019 mixtape, it’s just like rage, rage, rage, angry at the world,” he says. “This one, I’m not going to lie, it’s more chill.”
He’s also hopeful his music can uplift other people who feel the same fury he used to feel. “My main priority is capturing that skate fan base where I come from,” he says. “I’ve been skateboarding since I was 7 years old. I feel [skaters] are the most troubled. The goal right now is to get these kids on a higher frequency, like staying away from these Percs, these Xans, the lean.
