\"No Child Left Behind\" is part of West's long-awaited 10th studio album \"Donda,\" which is named after his late mother, Donda West.

The studio effort was first teased in March 2020 and was originally slated to come out last July. However, the 22-time Grammy winner cancelled the release and it was announced he was further tweaking the album.

Now, fans have a new release date to look forward to -- this Friday, July 23.

To further feed the hype, Ye will be holding a Donda listening event the night before on Apple Music, starting at 8 p.m. ET.

It was also announced the album will feature Lil Baby, Travis Scott and Pusha T.
