Vultures 2

Will Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s ‘Vultures 2’ Get Delayed?

Last week, Kanye West announced the new release date for his and Ty Dolla Sign’s second collaborative album, Vultures 2 would be May 3. Now, with that date just a day away, fans of the mercurial producer have to contend with dueling impulses: excited anticipation for the project’s long-awaited release and skeptical dread that it’ll once again be pushed back without warning or explanation.

So, will Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s Vultures 2 be delayed again?

Unfortunately, there’s no real way to answer that. It isn’t like Kanye is a fountain of information these days — at least, not relevant information. For instance, one of his recent missives declared that his next project would be a porn studio (which, if true, would simply offer yet another distraction from him doing the one thing people actually seem to want him to). We know he’s been in the studio, because he added his own verse to Future and Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” to rekindle his on-again-off-again feud with Drake. But no one asked him to do that, and it’s unclear how that has anything to do with Vultures 2.

One potential problem has been Kanye’s supposed inability to secure a distributor for his music after making antisemitic comments last year. He debated a direct-to-consumer approach, but given his spotty follow-through on projects even when he isn’t enduring the consequences of his own actions, don’t be surprised if tomorrow comes and goes without a new release.

Kanye West Has A New Tentative Release Date For The Oft-Delayed ‘Vultures 2’

Early this month, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign canceled several listening events for their upcoming album Vultures 2 without warning or explanation. The canceled listening sessions were just part of an uneven rollout for the project, which they announced in January. After several setbacks, though, it appears that the album has a new tentative release date: May 3. Kanye revealed the release date during an appearance on influencer Justin LaBoy’s podcast.

Some skepticism about the release date is probably warranted. When Kanye and Ty first announced that Vultures would be released in three parts, they initially gave the second installment a March 8 release, with the third part billed for April 5. They’ve now blown past not only the second release date, but the release date for the third part as well. After missing the date for the first Vultures, they released the album in mid-February, only to run into problems with the distributor — namely, that FUGA, the company listed as distributor, had previously refused to work with Kanye over his antisemitic comments. The album was pulled from Apple Music, but still debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 because we crossed through the looking glass sometime in 2015.

Meanwhile, on March 8, Kanye delayed Vultures 2, attributing the delay to an internal debate about adopting a direct-to-consumer distribution method.

Vultures 2 is (supposedly) out on 5/3.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign dropped off Vultures 1 all the way back in February. However, since that time, they have yet to release Vultures 2. Originally, the sequel was going to come out on March 8th, while a third album would drop on April 5th. Now, we are at the end of April, and the first sequel still hasn’t arrived. Fans are obviously confused by this and have been looking for answers. Overall, they have had to piece things together through Discord groups and other leakers who claim to have some sort of in with the Yeezy camp.

Recently, Kanye West was on a podcast with Justin Laboy. During this podcast, Ye spoke up about Vultures 2 and how he and Ty have been working extremely hard on it. Although he didn’t give too much insight into the tracks and features on the album, he did give us a date. According to the clip below, Ye and Ty will be dropping their new album on May 3rd. That means the project is coming out in about 10 days, and it will fall on a Friday, like most releases do.

Kanye West Gives A Date

This date has previously been given, although it was not a date that had been confirmed by Kanye himself. Now, it appears as though fans have something truly tangible to go off of. Whether or not this actually works out for everyone, still remains to be seen. After all, Ye does have a long history of delaying projects and missing out on release promises. Hopefully, this time around, we actually get the album at midnight.

Is There A New Kanye West And Ty Dolla Sign ‘Vultures 2’ Release Date?

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign plan to release their Vulture series in a trilogy, with Vultures 2 being the next upcoming release. Last month, West revealed the cover art for the album — building fans’ excitement for the project.

However, West’s spokesperson recently told Billboard that there would no longer be listening parties for Vultures 2, despite this being initially announced.

Here’s what fans should know about the Vultures 2 new release date.

Is There A New Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign Vultures 2 Release Date?

Although it was supposed to drop on March 8, as of right now, there is not an updated release date for Vultures 2. The duo plans to sell the album for $20, according to West, as it will be available on the Yeezy website instead of any streaming platform. A few days later, short previews of the songs were available on Instagram and TikTok — so a release could very well be on the horizon.

“We regret to report that due to the time constraints for Ye and Ty Dolla Sign to curate production and meet logistic requirements, the upcoming dates for the VULTURES 1&2 listening experience will need to be revisited at a later date,” Tampa’s Amelie Arena, which was one of the listening locations, shared.

Vultures 1 had been delayed, too, but arrived eventually — meaning it should be the same for the trilogy’s second drop.

Ty Dolla Sign is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Ye & Ty Dolla Sign Unveil New “Vultures” Listening Party Dates

by

Fans continue to anxiously await the release of the second installment of Ye and Ty Dolla Sign’s collaborative project, Vultures. It was originally slated for release at the beginning of this month, but unsurprisingly, was pushed back. Luckily, it doesn’t appear as though fans will have to wait too much longer to hear it. A few weeks ago, Ye responded to a question about the release date from who he believed was Baby Keem. Unfortunately, it was later proven to be a fan account. He seemingly confirmed that Vultures 2 will drop on May 3.

In the meantime, Ye has announced some additional listening parties for Vultures 1 and Vultures 2. He and Ty are scheduled to appear in Nashville, TN in early April, followed by stops in Pittsburgh, DC, Charlotte, and Tampa. This is far from the only exciting listening party he’s announced recently, however.

Earlier this month, he took to social media to announce that he’ll be hosting a listening party at the Pyramid of Djoser. He’s scheduled to take the stage at the famous Egyptian archaeological site on April 20, 2024. Travis Scott attempted to do something similar, announcing a performance at the Pyramids of Giza last summer ahead of the release of Utopia. Sadly, the performance was later canceled due to “production issues,” per Live Nation. His fans threw a party there anyway, and he later went on to perform at the Circus Maximus in Rome instead.

As for Ye, he’s rumored to have a world tour coming up shortly, though further details of that remain unconfirmed. What do you think of Ye and Ty Dolla Sign announcing additional Vultures 1 & 2 listening events? Do you plan on attending? Are you looking forward to Vultures 2?

Kanye West Records “CARNIVAL” Verse In Room Full Of Friends: Video

by

When asked about their recording process, some artists insist that they can only work in quiet studios free of all distractions. Kanye West, on the other hand, doesn’t mind performing while making his album, as we saw with Vultures 2. The controversial project finds Ty Dolla Sign and Ye further pushing creative boundaries and topping the charts, even with the latter’s widespread cancellation through the entertainment industry in recent years.

On Monday (March 18), a video surfaced online showing West in a room surrounded by dozens of friends, many of them seated around them. He had his recording tools set up in front of him, and headphones wrapped around his temples while seemingly nodding along to music blaring out of them. Around him, small talk and chatter continued until he began spitting his provocative bars. “Now I’m Ye-Kelly, b**ch / Now, I’m Bill Cosby, b**ch,” the father of four assertively declares. “Now, I’m Puff Daddy rich / That’s ‘Me Too’ me rich.”

Kanye West’s Vultures 2 Recording Process

Along with the NSFW song, Ye and Dolla shared a CGI-generated visual to accompany “CARNIVAL,” which showcases a lot of violent imagery. Despite the controversy surrounding the “Stronger” hitmaker and his latest LP, his circus-themed track still managed to nab the No. 1 spot on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart earlier this month. He’s hinted that at least one more installment of Vultures is coming our way this year, and we’re eager to see what his creative process will be for that.

Now that we’ve filled you in on how Kanye West recorded his verse on “CARNIVAL,” you can turn your attention to Ice Spice’s rumoured “New Body” verse. According to Ye. the New Yorker’s team is gatekeeping the music from being released, which doesn’t come as a surprise to many considering Spice’s working relationship with Nicki Minaj. Read the latest on that debacle at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Kanye West has been trying to release the song “New Body” for years at this point. Overall, the song has been anticipated since 2018. However, a release has never actually happened. For those who may not know, the original version of the song features Ty Dolla $ign and Nicki Minaj. Considering the fact that Ye and Ty Dolla have collaborative albums on the horizon, it makes sense that this song is back on everyone’s mind. In fact, Ye has made numerous strides to get the song released. For instance, a few months back, he was asking Nicki Minaj to clear her verse. Unfortunately, she refused and the song never dropped.

Earlier today, we reported on how YesJulz leaked a text message chain between herself and Ye. It was here where YesJulz revealed that she had actually sent “New Body” to both Doja Cat and Ice Spice. This was an absolutely massive reveal that had fans extremely excited. After all, these are two huge women artists, and to have them on a song with Ye would be a lot of fun. Subsequently, around Noon EST today, Kanye confirmed that Ice Spice actually sent a verse back. However, her team is refusing to clear it, and Ye wants some answers.

Kanye West Makes His Claim

“ICE SPICE SENT A VERSE IN FOR NEW BODY NOW HER TEAM IS SAYING WE CAN’T USE IT,” he explained. No reason was given for why he can’t use the verse. Regardless, this is devastating news. Fans just want to hear “New Body” and for Ice Spice to get a Ye collab would be huge at this stage in her career. For now, those who want this are just going to have to wait and see. It’s definitely not ideal, but this has become an ongoing issue for Kanye as of late. Hopefully, a solution can be worked out.

Do you want to hear the Ice Spice version of “New Body?” Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Kanye West Shares “Vultures 2” Release Date With Baby Keem, But It Was Actually A Fan Page

by

Kanye West is certainly no stranger to delays, but his latest broken promise has fans more anxious than ever to hear his new album. Back in January, Ye announced the release dates of all three volumes of his joint project with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures. The first volume dropped only a day late. Of course, this left listeners hopeful that the others would arrive mostly on time.

Clearly, that hasn’t been the case. Vultures 2 was previously expected to drop on March 8, per Ye’s aforementioned schedule, but fans have yet to hear it. On the bright side, he seems to have confirmed the new release date in some recent DMs with one of his collaborators, Baby Keem. Unfortunately, however, he wasn’t actually speaking with Baby Keem at all.

Kanye West Says Vultures 2 Arrives May 3

In screenshots of the DMs, Ye answers a Baby Keem fan page’s request for the release date. “We in the lab now with it. Gonna release in May. May 3rd,” he wrote. “When can we go in,” Ye also asked, “Should we do Praise God 2mrw.” By the looks of things, Ye thought he was chatting with the real Baby Keem. While it’s certainly an unconventional way to reveal a release date, fans are thrilled nonetheless to finally have their questions answered.

It’s also pretty far out from when the album was originally expected, which will undoubtedly leave some listeners disappointed. After all, the Chicago MC just told supporters that there are only some “final tweaks” to be made before Vultures 2 is complete. This got them thinking it would arrive in no time. Either way, fans aren’t exactly surprised, and will be grateful to hear it at all. What do you think of Kanye West accidentally sharing the release date of Vultures 2 with a Baby Keem fan? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

When Kanye West delivers an album release date at this point in his career, few hip-hop heads are inclined to believe it. The father of four is notorious for hitting fans with delays, some of them even spanning months. We saw it with the original Vultures LP, which was set to arrive in late 2023 but didn’t actually debut until February 10. The follow-up to that controversial project is expected to land this month, but as HipHopDX reports, there’s some confusion about whether that will really happen.

Ye has already made it clear that Vultures 2 won’t be available on streaming. Instead, he and his collaborators plan to sell the album online for $20 a piece – double the usual price. As we curiously wait to see if we’ll be able to purchase Ty Dolla and West’s work this New Music Friday (March 15), fans have noticed several titles from the tracklist appearing on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

Will Vultures 2 Be Dropping Tonight?

“River,” which features Young Thug and singer Leon Bridges has made it onto various apps, along with Future’s appearance on “Promotion.” Elsewhere, versions of “Slide” with James Blake and the rumoured Playboi Carti collab, “Field Trip,” which also includes Kodak Black, Lil Durk, and Don Toliver. According to @YeFanatics on Twitter/X, insiders are now saying these are “ripped audio” recordings, and could lead to delays in the official release of Vultures.

His work on Vultures 2 is certainly taking up a lot of Kanye West’s time right now, but he’s still making sure to put his family first. Earlier this week, the Yeezy founder and his firstborn, North, confirmed that her debut album is on the way, and it takes inspiration from one of her father’s classic releases. Read all about that at the link below, and let us know if you think Ye and Ty Dolla Sign will be dropping this weekend in the comments.

Kim Kardashian and Bianca Censori have one thing in common and that is the fact that at one point in their lives, they were married to Kanye West. Kim and Ye were married for about a decade, while Censori has been married to Ye for about a year. Overall, fans were surprised when they found out that Ye had remarried so quickly. However, he seems to be happy with Censori, and the feeling appears to be mutual. As for Kim Kardashian, she is currently dating Odell Beckham Jr., who plays for the Baltimore Ravens.

Interestingly enough, Kim Kardashian and Bianca Censori got to spend some time together recently. Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have been hosting Vultures listening parties, and the two women found themselves at the most recent one. In the video down below, you can see that Kim and Bianca were both in the same section together. The two were in very close proximity to one another, and there appeared to be no issues. It was pretty cool to see, although who’s to say what was going through their minds at the time.

As some commenters pointed out on The Neighborhood Talk, Kim was likely there to support North West. After all, North is planning to drop a new album soon. There is no telling what kind of album this will be or how it will sound. However, the concept of a North West LP is definitely intriguing. We’re sure Kanye West is very proud, and we imagine he will also look to produce it.
