The wait is almost over—Kanye West will be releasing a new album on Friday.

Donda will be the rapper’s 10th studio album and it follows West’s 2019 Grammy-winning gospel record Jesus Is King.

News of the upcoming album was announced during Game 6 of the NBA Finals with a Beats by Dre ad. The ad features Sha’Carri Richardson running to the track “No Child Left Behind” in slow motion while wearing Beats by Dre earbuds. Kanye repeatedly sings, “He’s done miracles on me.”

Over the weekend there was lots of speculation about a new album from the rapper. On Monday, he announced there would be a listening event in Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday. The listening event will also be live-streamed globally via Apple Music.

West posted the ad on Instagram as well as photos with his face covered, wearing gold chains with his children’s names on them.
