Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, operating under the moniker ¥$, have unveiled their latest musical offering: the album “Vultures 1.” Released via West’s Yzy brand, this collaboration features a star-studded lineup, including Lil Durk, Bump J, Freddie Gibbs, Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, Quavo, and even West’s eldest daughter, North.
“Vultures 1” marks West’s first widely available album since “Donda” and its deluxe edition. Notably, this release is the first traditional album under the moniker Ye, despite the legal name change. The duo had teased an earlier version of “Vultures 1” in Miami, showcasing a hint of what was to come.
The album’s launch wasn’t without its drama. West’s appearance at the United Center event sparked controversy due to a sampled performance of Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man,” drawing criticism from Ozzy Osbourne himself. Yet, despite these hiccups, “Vultures 1” has finally hit the airwaves.
However, West’s recent controversies, including antisemitic remarks and a public apology, have loomed over the album’s release. Nevertheless, the duo presses on with their musical endeavors.
Ty Dolla $ign, no stranger to collaborations with West, brings his signature style to “Vultures 1,” marking his first album since his 2021 Dvsn collaboration “Cheers to the Best Memories.”
With a history of successful joint projects, including hits like “FourFiveSeconds” and “Fade,” Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Vultures 1” promises to deliver another memorable musical experience for fans old and new.
