The 44-year-old rapper will premiere the record
on Thursday at a listening event in Atlanta, which will be
streamed live.
West previewed new song "No Child Left Behind" in an advert
airing during Game Six of the NBA Finals.
The commercial, scored and edited by West, shows Richardson, who
had been expected to be one of the biggest draws at Tokyo 2020,
at a track at night. The 21-year-old has said she used the
cannabis to deal with the death of her mother.
West, who was married to reality TV star Kim Kardashian for
seven years before she filed for divorce in February, shared a
clip of the ad on his Instagram page.
The album, named after West's late mother Donda West, follows
2019's Grammy Award winning "Jesus is King".
