Donald has always exuded a desire for maintaining the ultimate creative freedom in all of his endeavors. He spoke to the fact of comparing the show’s seasons to Kanye West albums, as the third aligns with Ye’s Graduation, which is where Yeezy blossomed into a global superstar back in 2007.
“I align the seasons I think, to me, like Kanye records. I feel like this is our Graduation. This is probably our most accessible but also the realest — an honest version of it — and I feel like the most enjoyable, like the third album,” Glover relayed to IndieWire.

Atlanta executive producer and Donald’s brother, Stephen Glover, has compared the show to Kanye’s albums in the past, where he related the show’s Robbin’ Season to West’s sophomore Late Registration album.
On the panel, he added that the acclaimed writers are looking to top themselves with a plethora of resources and the network’s trust now at their back. “What’s exciting to me is that we can do almost anything. And also, all the writers are very excited to try to top themselves,” Stephen explained.
