Kanye West’s New DONDA Stem Player Puts Music Production In The Palm of Your Hands
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Kanye West might be on to something here.

We’re not sure if Bodega’s going to be holding their own milkcrate challenge as a means of giving customers a chance to get a pair of sneakers, but best believe if the kicks in question are some Jordans or Yeezy’s, heads will be accepting the challenge jus...
