JPEGMAFIA & Kanye West Come Together After Former’s Viral Rant: Photo

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s Vultures being delayed multiple times hasn’t come as a surprise to their fans. The father of four’s past few LPs have all been revealed to the world on their own timeline, independent of promises made on social media. We first thought it might drop in the final days of 2023, and later on January 12 – coinciding with Kid Cudi’s INSANO album. Now, it’s said to be hitting DSPs on February 9, but only time will tell if the artists come through.

Despite not delivering new music, West has been shamelessly outside and networking with fellow creatives, including JPEGMAFIA. Seeing these two come together is something of a surprise, especially after all the 34-year-old had to say about Yeezy in his since-deleted online rant this week. “Also Kanye West I respect [you], but the way [you] acknowledge n****s who have less to offer [you] than me makes me feel a way,” Peggy vented. “I’m a scientist in the lab, a surgeon bruh. And [you] skip over me for n****s that’s getting they baby mommas f**ked on camera. I wanna make money f**k these n****s.”

Kanye West and Peggy Come Face-to-Face

On Friday (January 19), JPEG’s Twitter/X page lit up with a new photo of him and Ye together in all-black ensembles. The “All Falls Down” hitmaker wore a shark tooth necklace to match the new shiny addition to his mouth, while the New York native let a simple gold cross chain hang outside his black jacket. “Vultures 🦅,” Peggy wrote in his caption, potentially suggesting he and West have a collaboration on the way.

Elsewhere online, Kanye West proudly showed off his new James Bond-inspired teeth on social media. The rumours of the Atlanta-born entertainer having his chompers removed to wear them have been dispelled, but his firstborn, North West, is already flashing some shiny new grills of her own. Check out the tween’s bold smile enhancement at the link below, and let us know if you’d like to hear JPEGMAFIA appear on Vultures in the comments.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s “Vultures” Release Pushed Back Again

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign will be releasing their upcoming collaborative album, Vultures, on February 9, according to the project’s official iTunes page. This comes after the platform previously had the date set as January 19. The update is the latest of a number of delays to the album.

When users on social media caught wind of the release date change, they were quite upset. “Yeah i’m officially done caring about this record. Keep it at this point it’s just disappointment after disappointment,” one fan wrote on Twitter. Another wrote: “The fact that this album is not even worth the wait makes me frustrated. After hearing Slide and the snippet from the fashion show for the first time I was hyped af, I thought this record would blow my mind, but, unfortunately, more than half of the album appeared to be mid.”

Kanye and Ty Dolla Sign have been teasing the project for months at this point. They first shared the cover artwork, featuring work by Caspar David Friedrich, back in December. In the time since, West has been dealing with a number of clearance issues. Nicki Minaj refused to give permission for her appearance on “New Body” to be used. Additionally, there have been difficulties clearing the Backstreet Boys’ song, “Everybody.”

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s “Vulture” Delayed

Vultures will be West’s first project since his antisemitism controversy in 2022 caused him to lose countless endorsement deals. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s upcoming album, Vultures, on HotNewHipHop.

Kanye West Recording Music Video For Ty Dolla $ign & Playboi Carti Song: Watch

by

Kanye West’s Vultures with Ty Dolla $ign might not ever come out, but they sure are trying to keep the train rolling. Hopefully we’re wrong about that just to see what the hype is about, and it looks like they might actually drop something soon. Moreover, new footage emerged of the two of them filming a music video outside of Wet in Las Vegas, seemingly for the Playboi Carti-assisted track rumored for their project, “F**k Sumn.” Of course, it’s entirely possible that this is for something else entirely, or that they might scrap it and come through with something else. But it’s exciting to at least see that this rollout isn’t over yet, for better or worse.

Furthermore, fans are skeptical from both a project quality perspective and a more socially aware one. Kanye West, Vultures, and the songs we’ve heard from it so far are topics that will spark a political debate even among the most civically disinterested music fans. It’s also the backdrop for a couple of different beefs allegedly brewing for the Chicago rapper, although these are all rumors. There’s his allegedly leaked text messages with Pusha T, as well as a recent rant that JPEGMAFIA went on about his “idol.”

Kanye West’s Vultures With Ty Dolla $ign Seemingly Getting A Music Video Soon: Watch

Regardless of all that, we know that the 46-year-old has never shied away from conflict; rather, he welcomes and prompts it. Still, at least it seems like his rift with Kid Cudi is healing up these days, although we’re unsure of where exactly it’s at. All this is to say that there’s so much we could be focusing on right now that has little to do with Kanye West, Vultures, or Ty Dolla $ign as much as it does the controversy behind all of them. Those are important conversations to have, but as listeners detached from the situation, the music is what we will truly feel equipped to comment on.

Meanwhile, it’s clear that this new era isn’t really affecting the Yeezy mogul’s previous work too much. For one, his 2016 album The Life Of Pablo re-entered the Billboard 200 chart, and he recently received four new platinum certifications. At least we’ll always have the old Ye. For more news on Kanye West, Vultures, and Ty Dolla $ign, come back to HNHH.

Kanye West’s “The Life Of Pablo” Returns To Billboard 200

by

Over the weekend Billboard released the first new version of the Billboard 200 chart tracking in 2024. The chart keeps track of what albums are being listened to on streaming and played on the radio the most in any given week. This week the chart is headlined by numerous Taylor Swift albums in the top 10 alongside artists like SZA, Morgan Wallen, Noah Kahan, and Zach Bryan. But unlike the Hot 100 where hit songs are subject to relegation, albums can stick around on the Billboard 200 for years and years.

That’s why it isn’t too much of a surprise when older smash-hit albums re-enter the charts years later. In recent weeks albums like Future DS2, Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die, and J. Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive have occupied the back half of the albums chart. Last week, three of Kanye West’s albums landed on the chart. 2007’s Graduation narrowly slipped inside the top 100 with his debut The College Dropout and 5th album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy following behind. Now a fourth one of the rap legends albums has entered the chart. His 2016 effort The Life Of Pablo joins the other four on the newest edition of the Billboard 200 this week.

Kanye West’s “The Life Of Pablo” Returns To The Charts

Renewed interest in West’s music may have something to do with the pending album Vultures. He announced with Ty Dolla $ign late last year following the single of the same name. The pair first promised that the project would arrive last month with numerous release dates coming and going since then. Most recently the record was scheduled to arrive later this week but that release date has since been removed. Last month, a version of the project was leaked online which may have something to do with the numerous delays it’s faced since.

Kanye West has also been sharing a bizarre series of pictures on Instagram. Many of them contain scantily clad shots of Bianca Censori. In one picture West even promises not to wear pants this year. What do you think of “The Life Of Pablo” returning to the Billboard 200 this week? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kanye West And Ty Dolla Sign Reportedly No Longer Have A Release Date For ‘Vultures’ Because Of Course It Got Delayed Again

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign‘s collaborative album Vultures may take a little longer to arrive. Originally announced last year, Vultures has seen numerous delays. Its most recent release date was slated for January 12, but it looks like listeners are going to have to wait a bit longer.

Yesterday, West’s frequent collaborator Malik Yusef shared a photo of Ty, featuring the singer recording vocals for the album, per HipHopDX.

A fan commented on the post, asking, “what song is he recording for?” Yusef replied, “all of em.”

The same fan asked if Ty is “redoing verses or making new ones?” Yusef answered: “both.”

Earlier that day, Forbes reported that “a representative for West explained that the album is not coming out on that date, and, for the moment, doesn’t have a release date.”

Yusef also weighed in on this, when a fan asked “Is that Forbes article legit?” The former GOOD Music rapper simply replied, “Naw.”

Though it’s not clear which parts of the article to which Malik was referring. At the time of writing, neither West nor Ty have issued a direct update on Vultures.

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

Kanye West Has Fans Upset Yet Again As “Vultures” No Longer Has A Release Date

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have been working on a new album called Vultures. Overall, it is an album that has been surrounded by controversy. With Ye’s fervent anti-Semitism, there are those who are deadset on boycotting the album. Furthermore, Ye has delayed the album on numerous occasions. Of course, this is something Ye does all of the time, so we should have known better. All throughout December, the album was delayed, and most recently, the project was pegged for January 12th.

Well, it seems like that is no longer the case. According to Forbes a spokesperson for Ye has said that the album does not have a release date. Instead, the album’s fate is completely up in the air. There is some speculation that the album is going to be scrapped entirely. However, there are actual insiders who know for sure this is not the case. According to HipHopDX, one of those people is Malik Yusef. He recently told fans on social media that vocals are being re-recorded and that the album will eventually drop.

Kanye West Continues To Mess With Us

At this point, it does feel like the album is in limbo. While those around Ye are confident that it will still come out, the entire rollout has been absolutely painstaking. Fans are being left in the dark, and those who still support Ye are becoming a bit fed up with the whole deal. Whether or not Kanye ends up pushing things along, still remains to be seen. By the time it comes out, there is a real chance a lot of people will have moved on. Not to mention, there is still time to make this a STEM player exclusive.

Hopefully, some tangible updates on the album come sooner rather than later. Let us know what you think of the new project, in the comments section down below. Have you liked what you’ve heard so far? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Fivio Foreign Sends Kanye West New Verse, Hints At “Vultures” Appearance

by

Fivio Foreign and Kanye West have quite the collaborative history together, so to see it move forward is really no surprise. Still, fans are nonetheless excited because the former tweeted on Friday night (December 29) that he just turned his verse in to the latter. As such, there’s plenty of reason to believe that these two rappers will be coming through with some more heat together in the near future. But this is Ye we’re talking about; entire institutions could dedicate millions of dollars to researching every time this man has promised music that never saw the light of day. But we’re close to the New Year; can’t we be optimistic one more time before 2024 rolls around?

Jokes aside, this is most likely going to show up on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s collaborative album Vultures– well, if it ever ends up dropping, that is. There’s also the change that Fivio Foreign’s verse just doesn’t fit into the final cut, which is another common trait of Yeezy album cycles and rollouts. Regardless, it’s become curious to see how the New York drill exponent became one of the Chicago artist’s closest musical companions in recent years. There’s a certain chemistry when they link even when the end result isn’t perfect, so there’s always potential there.

Fivio Foreign Sent His Verse In, Fans Expect Appearance On Kanye West’s Vultures

What’s more is that this new collaboration might replace a recent and controversial one as Fivio Foreign’s current hot topic. For those unaware, he featured on Lil Mabu’s “TEACH ME HOW TO DRILL,” a pretty self-aware song about a hardened drill MC teaching a preppy white counterpart about the genre and lifestyle. It’s at least much more palatable than some of Mabu’s past work, which didn’t take this tongue-in-cheek approach that’s cognizant of its troll appeal. We’re not saying that’s a good thing, but you have to know what you are and what you’re up against if you want to be successful.

Meanwhile, with Kanye dropping shoes instead of songs these days, we’ll see whether this Fivio verse ever comes out. Where do you think he might fit in on Vultures? Let us know your predictions on these topics down in the comments section below. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Fivio Foreign and Kanye West.

Kanye West Gets “Vultures” Tattoo, Matching With Ty Dolla Sign

by

Ty Dolla $ign isn’t the only one rocking some Vultures ink, as his collaborative partner for this album just got one to match. Moreover, new pictures emerged on social media of Kanye West getting a small “¥$” tattoo on his arm at an unknown location. Ty, on the other hand, got it on the side of his head just above his right ear, but unfortunately for die-hards excited for the full-length team-up, this new artwork doesn’t set its release in stone. Currently, some fans still think it’ll drop before 2023 comes to a close, whereas others expect an early January release. Most people, though, probably won’t believe it until they see it on a DSP.

Such is the album rollout process of Kanye West, an artist who can dangle bait in front of starving admirers more effectively than most… for better or worse. At least this new tattoo confirms that he’s committed to the project and that it holds enough weight for him to fight for it. Most recently, Ye and Ty premiered a new song “Unlock” on the radio after rumors that their Backstreet Boys-sampling single “Everybody” would drop did not manifest. As such, we can assume that the duo will continue to seek distribution and finally put Vultures in fans’ ears.

Kanye West’s New Vultures Tattoo

Of course, this isn’t even taking into account the various controversies that dogged this album– and the Chicago artist, for that matter. Delays, beef, rants, canceled live events, celebrity appearances, and most prominently, the actually abhorrent and damaging remarks that Kanye West has espoused against the Jewish community, the Black community, other rappers, and more. On that last note, it at least seems like he’s starting a process of accountability through an apology in Hebrew. It’s a small step, and one that many organizations and individuals blasted, but hopefully the first in a longer and more fulfilling journey.

Meanwhile, with the “¥$” duo now repping their chemistry wherever they go, there’s no telling where Vultures is going next. Do you think it’s entering the ranks of Yandhi, TurboGrafx16, and So Help Me God as legendary scrapped projects from the Yeezy mogul or will it be more of a disappointing Donda 2 scenario? If it drops, will it stack up against his classics? Let us know what you think in the comments section down below, and stay posted on HNHH for more on Kanye West.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign Track “Unlock” Stuns Fans With Bizarre “Fortnite” Reference

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign continue to tease their new album. Overall, this project is called Vultures and it has been delayed quite a few times already. However, there is still a lot of interest and intrigue from the fans out there. They know that this is going to be one of the biggest releases of 2024, even if it might fall short. While the snippets have arguably been “mid,” there is still this sense that Ye will be able to fix the album in time. Only time will tell whether or not that is the case.

Last night, Ye and Ty Dolla were supposed to drop off “Everybody” which contains a sample from the Backstreet Boys. However, they ended up failing to do so. Instead, DJ Pharris for Power 92 Radio ended up giving a premier. This was for the track “Unlock” which is not on any streaming services right now. Instead, it was meant to just be a little teaser for what is supposedly going to come on January 12th. Interestingly enough, at 1:40 in the song, there was a unique reference that fans picked up on.

Was “Fortnite” On Kanye West’s Mind

At one point, you can hear a reference to Fortnite and the character Jonesy, as well as an OG map location, “Salty Springs.” Overall, this felt pretty out of place and there is some debate as to whether or not it was Ye saying it. After all, this was a radio premier so it could have been the DJ shouting out someone who was attempting to be funny. Regardless, this led to a huge wave of reactions on social media, with many asking whether or not Ye is playing the game on the regular.

Fans React

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign Song Premiered On The Radio After “Everybody” Fails To Drop On Time

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have been telling fans that a new collaborative project is on the way. However, they have not been able to deliver on that promise so far. Instead, the album has been nowhere to be seen. Although we did get some listening parties, that has pretty much been it. This week, there was some sort of sign of hope as it was revealed that the track “Everybody” would finally hit streaming services. Of course, this is the same track that samples the Backstreet Boys.

Well, fans were pretty skeptical that it would be released. In the end, that skepticism proved to be well-founded. The song did not end up coming out, much to the chagrin of Ye’s remaining fans. However, it wasn’t all bad as a new song called “Unlock” was played by DJ Pharris on Power 92 Radio. You can hear a part of the track below, which features layered vocal samples, and Ty Dolla dominating most of the runtime. If you are a Fortnite fan, you might enjoy the Jonesy Salty Springs reference at the 1:40 mark.

That said, based on some of the fan reactions, the song is not hitting like some people were hoping it would. After all, this is Kanye West we are talking about here. The standards for his music are very high, and this just doesn’t feel like it is entirely up to par. Only time will tell whether or not this is a track that is going to grow on people. After all, Ye is known to make massive changes to songs after they have been previewed. Perhaps the rest of the tracklist will be a bit stronger.

Let us know what you think of this new track, in the comments section below. Do you think this is up to the standards of Ye’s past work?
