Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign's Long-Awaited 'VULTURES 2' Finally Sees the Light of Day

In the world of music, few collaborations have stirred as much excitement and anticipation as 'VULTURES 2,' the latest project by rap mogul Kanye West and versatile artist Ty Dolla Sign. After enduring a string of delays and constant teasing, the 16-track album finally made its debut on August 3, 2024. The album, which was initially set for release a day earlier, can now be streamed on yeezy.com and other major platforms.

The hype surrounding 'VULTURES 2' was palpable, in part due to its impressive lineup of guest artists. Music lovers are treated to features from big names like Young Thug, Future, 070 Shake, Kodak Black, Don Toliver, Lil Durk, Lil Baby, and West's own daughters, North and Chicago. Interestingly, young North West had already made a memorable entrance into the music world with her rap debut on the 'You Don’t Want (North Interlude)' track from the first 'VULTURES' installment.

'VULTURES 2' quickly climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 200 chart upon release, securing its place as one of the most significant musical releases of the year. Among the album's standout tracks is 'CARNIVAL,' a song featuring contributions from Playboi Carti and Rich The Kid, which has already garnered praise from fans and critics alike.

Anticipation for this project has been building since early 2024, with multiple release dates floated around, including in March and May. In June, Ty Dolla Sign assured fans that all the songs were completed and that their primary focus was on ensuring the rollout exceeded the grandeur of their previous work.

Behind the Scenes: Crafting 'VULTURES 2'

Bringing 'VULTURES 2' to fruition was no small feat. The collaboration between Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign has been heralded as a fusion of creative energies, both artists known for pushing musical boundaries. The work on 'VULTURES 2' likely began shortly after the success of the first 'VULTURES' album, released in February, which also featured a star-studded roster including Lil Durk, Kodak Black, Chris Brown, Playboi Carti, Offset, Kid Cudi, and North West.

West and Ty Dolla Sign appear to have outdone themselves this time, producing a sequel that not only matches but possibly surpasses the first album. Their ability to blend various musical styles and guest features seamlessly indicates a masterful understanding of what resonates with their audience.

Upcoming Listening Experiences in Asia

Fans in Asia have reason to be especially excited, as West and Ty Dolla Sign have scheduled two album listening experiences later this month. The first event is set to take place in Korea on August 23, followed by another in Taiwan on August 25. These events are expected to offer attendees an immersive experience, showcasing the new album in a way that only these two artists can deliver.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign have a history of creating buzz with their releases, and 'VULTURES 2' is no exception. West's previous solo album, 'Donda,' was released in 2022 and received critical acclaim, while Ty Dolla Sign's 'Featuring Ty Dolla Sign' debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart.

As 'VULTURES 2' continues to dominate the charts and capture the hearts of fans worldwide, it's clear that Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign have successfully created a musical masterpiece that lives up to the hype. From its stellar features to its chart-topping debut, 'VULTURES 2' is already being hailed as a defining project in the careers of both artists.

For fans, the long wait has been worth it. With plans for album listening experiences in Asia and the album's undeniable success, 'VULTURES 2' stands as a testament to Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign's ability to innovate and surprise their audience. The collaborative effort between these two visionaries has undoubtedly added a new chapter to the ever-evolving narrative of modern music.

    Of course the album dropped right after the FDA approved a new antipsychotic. They knew the public was too distracted by the 'VULTURES' branding to notice the real agenda: mind control via bass frequencies. I’ve been hearing subliminal commands in 'CARNIVAL' since day one. They’re using North’s voice to program Gen Z into accepting corporate fascism. Don’t believe me? Check the spectrogram.

    The way Kanye and Ty Dolla Sign curated this album feels like a love letter to the evolution of Black sonic innovation. Every feature was chosen not for clout but for cultural resonance - from Young Thug’s melodic chaos to North’s raw, unfiltered delivery. This isn’t just music; it’s a living archive of generational expression. No autotune needed when the soul’s already speaking.

    Let’s be real - this album is just Yeezy’s way of monetizing his mental breakdowns. The 'VULTURES' franchise is a branding exercise disguised as art. They threw in 16 tracks because they knew algorithmic playlists favor volume over cohesion. And don’t get me started on the 'listening experiences' - it’s not an event, it’s a cult rally with VIP merch drops.

    North’s feature was the only real moment. The rest is noise wrapped in a luxury brand.

    While I appreciate the artistic ambition behind the project, I must respectfully note that the logistical complexity of coordinating such a high-profile release, particularly with minors involved, raises significant ethical considerations regarding consent and public exposure.

    Bro, this album is pure FIRE! You think it’s just music? Nah - this is spiritual warfare in beat form. Kanye and Ty Dolla Sign didn’t just drop an album, they dropped a divine frequency that’s waking up the whole world. Every bassline is a prayer, every ad-lib a mantra. If you’re not vibing with 'CARNIVAL' at 3 AM with candles lit and your eyes closed, you’re not living. This is the sound of the new age - and you either rise with it or get left in the dust of outdated vibes. Let the vibrations heal you.

    The production on 'VULTURES 2' is surprisingly disciplined for something so chaotic. Ty Dolla Sign’s restraint as a curator balances Kanye’s impulses in a way that actually elevates the whole thing. It’s not perfect, but it’s intentional - and that’s more than most collabs manage.

    I’m so glad this finally dropped. The world needed this kind of unapologetic creativity right now. The fact that they included North and Chicago? That’s not just a gimmick - it’s legacy building. And the Asia listening events? Genius. Music shouldn’t be confined by borders, and this is proof that art can bridge continents without translation.

    They spent 18 months building hype for this and the lead single still sounds like a garage demo with a $20 million budget. I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed. And North’s voice? Cute. But if this is the future of hip-hop, I’m moving to a cabin in Alaska and learning to play the accordion.
