About
“Donda Chant” is a track in which Kanye’s mother’s first name, Donda, after which the album is titled, gets repeated for 52 seconds by Syleena Johnson in different tones, cadences, and patterns.
Syleena Johnson, whose vocals are featured on the track, described it as a “meditative chant”. With Kanye’s mother, God and family being central themes to this album and his career, the repeated name serves as a mantra, almost as if to enter a hypnotic trance like a religious devotee.
