The Chicago native announced Wednesday that he will host a listening party for his latest album “Donda” at Soldier Field on Aug. 26. Earlier this year, West was living at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons, where he constructed a studio space to finish his now 10th album. Though the album hasn’t been released, West revealed “Donda” — named after his late mother — to fans last month at a crowded Mercedes-Benz Stadium. West was born in Atlanta in 1977 and planted his roots in Chicago shortly after. In 2015, West performed during a timeout in the first quarter of a Chicago Bulls playoff game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He also supported fellow rapper and Chicago native Chance The Rapper with a surprise performance for Chance’s Magnificent Coloring Day Festival at U.S. Cellular Field (now Guaranteed Rate Field) in September 2016.
