Kanye West continues his extended DONDA rollout with the unveiling of the music video for “Come to Life,” the first visual released in support of the album.
The visual is comprised of footage filmed during West’s last live DONDA listening event, which was held last Thursday (Aug. 26) at Soldier Field stadium in Chicago and streamed on Apple Music. Impassioned and riveting, West’s performance of “Come to Life” drew rave reviews and caused an uproar on social media, as the rapper literally lit himself on fire. The 44-year-old rapper was joined by his estranged wife Kim Kardashian, who made a surprise cameo on stage while wearing a white wedding dress.
DONDA, West’s 10th studio album, was released this past Sunday (Aug. 29) following a myriad of delays and numerous changes to everything from the tracklist to the artists featured. The official version of the album, which is expected to debut atop the Billboard 200, includes guest spots from Jay Z, Lil Durk, Lil Yachty, Buju Banton, Fivio Foreign, Travis Scott, Baby Keem, Kid Cudi, Don Toliver, Jay Electronica, DaBaby, Marilyn Manson, Ty Dolla Sign, Sunday Service Choir, and more. If projections hold true, DONDA will yield Yeezy his highest first-week sales since Yeezus, which was released nearly a decade ago.
"Often times I get comments like "bro kids listen to your music you’re teaching them the wrong things when you say such vulgar things. Sh*t that's what happens when you give your kids free range internet access ??♂️," Dave Blunts said on his Instagram while talking about his new album, You Can't Say That.
"Im just telling my life story and how it happened. YES it was very vulgar and inappropriate when I found Abbigail (an ex-girlfriend) was selling ?. YES I do be Trickin ??♂️. These are the harsh realities of my life and I’m not gonna Kidzbopify my lyrics because the sh*t I go through is not sunshine and rainbows," he added in part.
Dave Blunts was not kidding in the slightest as his beefy solo effort is chockful of very vivid moments and stories. A lot of them center around Abbigail, but also Issabelle and Solar. The latter two particular receive a lot of screen time, for lack of better words.
He recalls the viral moment in which he found out Issabelle was only with him for the clout. As for Solar, Dave vents about how frustrated that he was when discovered that she was cheating on him. He doesn't hide his feelings either about these women.
The Iowa rapper absolutely tears into them with pointed lyrics and titles such as "Solar's Unsuccessful Attempt To Return" and "Issabella's Untimely Deportation." But all of these past experiences have made him "Tired Of Being A Simp" and he's looking to change for the better.
That's just one topic Dave focuses on though. His health issues and beefs with other figures in the space are just another handful of things he tackles. See what he's got to say with the Spotify and Apple Music links below.
