An unreleased song from Kanye West called "LA Monster," originally slated for his 2019 albumJesus Is King, leaked online over the weekend.
Though all visible links to the song have been taken down, some were able to briefly hear the song. Fans will recognize the title from Kim Kardashian, who posted an early tracklist for the album on her Instagram. It was originally slated to be song no. 6, after "Sunday" – presumably the song that was later titled "Closed On Sunday."

Kanye West was plagued with leaks in 2019. A whole project that was thought to be his albumYandhi leaked online, with features from the likes of Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign. But that didn't stopJesus Is King from topping the Billboard 200, and breaking records by having so much success on the gospel charts and the hip-hop/R&B charts alike.
Fans of Kanye are now excitedly waiting for the rapper/producer's collaboration with Griselda, after a photo surfaced of him standing alongside Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher, and Havoc of Mobb Deep.

Donald Glover has released his long-awaited album, Donald Glover Presents 3.15.20.
Originally shared on a customed website last Sunday (March 15), fans are now able to stream the project or continue to listen in a fun virtual manner on the site. The album has been uploaded under the musical moniker Childish Gambino but seems to be presented in a different way, without indication from RCA that this is Childish Gambino's final album.
Regardless, fans can now enjoy tracks heard last week and over the final minutes of DJ Nice's legendary quarantine party.
Also shared from Gambino's label was a photo of him and two boys believed to be his children rocking Spiderman masks.
The album features guest spots from Ariana Grande, 21 Savage, Khadja Bonet and more. See the full tracklist for Donald Glover Presents 3.15.20 and the full album on Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal below.

DJ D-Nice's quartine party came to a close in a major way with the presence of a new single by Childish Gambino.
In the last hour of the legendary DJ's 10-hour set of "Home School, (previously Homeschoolin')," Nice shared a new track titled "19.10" that brought a fresh groove to the end of the night. Full of funk and bass, the track stems from his mysterious release, Donald Glover Presents 3.15.20. The album dropped last Sunday (March 15) with appearances from SZA, 21 Savage and Ariana Grande. Streamed from his site, donaldgloverpresents.com, the album was taken down 12 hours later.
Presumably named "To Be Beautiful," the track is enchanting and deserving of moves on the dance floor. Usher's 2005 classic, "Lovers and Friends" officially closed the night, but Gambino's track took it back to what made the early days of hip-hop so special–hearing the next big bop.

"From my kitchen, I'm able to send positive vibrations to each of you," Nice wrote. "Thank you for rocking with me."
As for Gambino's new album, 3.15.20, it is officially on streaming platforms now.
