If you're a Kanye West fan, you may be eagerly awaiting the release of “Donda,” but he released another album just last week. Yeezy’s at the helm of the new project from Chicago hip-hop duo Abstract Mindstate, who recently reunited after a 16-year hiatus for a joyful, sample-based LP. Tune in for that and much more on this morning’s show.
