Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have joined forces once again with the release of their highly anticipated album, Vultures 2. This new installment follows February’s release of Vultures 1 and is now available to fans. The album features notable collaborations with artists such as Young Thug, 070 Shake, Future, Playboi Carti, Kodak Black, Don Toliver, Lil Durk, and even West’s own children, North and Chicago.
The duo has been teasing the release of Vultures 2 for quite some time, with initial announcements suggesting that the second and third parts would drop on March 8 and April 5, respectively. Since the first album’s release, West expressed intentions for the albums to be launched independently. While Vultures 2 is available through multiple distribution channels, Vultures 1 made an immediate impact upon its debut.
Kanye West’s commitment to independence in his music is significant, especially in light of his recent controversies, which have affected his partnerships and public image. Following polarizing comments and the loss of key endorsements, West publicly apologized to the Jewish community, stating his desire to foster understanding and unity. Reactions to his apology have varied, with some welcoming it while others expressed skepticism concerning its sincerity.
Despite mixed reviews for Vultures 1, the album achieved commercial success, debuting at the top of the Billboard 200 chart. The standout track "Carnival," featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 shortly after its release. The duo also engaged fans with numerous listening events and made headlines by headlining Rolling Loud California. As the music community closely watches, Vultures 2 marks a new chapter for West and Ty Dolla $ign.
