At this point, if you don't know who Ye is, (formerly known as Kanye), you've most likely been living under a rock. After releasing his 10th studio album Donda, which is also nominated for album of the year at the 2022 Grammys, Ye confirmed that he has returned to the studio working on his first ever sequel album, Donda...

To the avid Roundup readers disappointed that New Music Friday...

And while Spotify and Apple Music both have “New Music Friday” playlists, The Roundup doesn’t want the Jesuit community to have to sift through those playlists for songs that either bop or flop. This is the second installment of the New Music Friday series, featuring...
