Damon Dash
The first part of a documentary film made and produced by Roc-a-Fella co-founder Damon Dash, featuring the recording sessions and various other creative activity that took place in July of 2020 on Kanye West's Cody, Wyoming ranch, while West was putting the "finishing touches" on his tenth studio album, DONDA — and doing so in midst of a manic episode. The sessions did not, ultimately, result in the planned July 24th release of DONDA, which Dash's documentary acknowledges in the form of several montages of media response to the missed date, as well to rumors surrounding West's divorce from Kim Kardashian West, and to the fallout of an emotional rally that took place in South Carolina, where West announced his candidacy for President of the United States. The documentary was posted online and discovered on January 23rd, 2021. It features clips of songs intended for DONDA, including "Alien," "24," "God Breathed on This," and others.
