On Feb. 8, the second single of VULTURES 1 titled “TALKING / ONCE AGAIN” was released.
VULTURES 1 is the first volume of Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign’s anticipated album, which dropped on Feb. 9 with 16 tracks and multiple features.
“TALKING / ONCE AGAIN” is the fourth track off VULTURES 1, and is the track that includes vocal features from Kanye’s eldest daughter, North West. This would make North West’s first official singing debut.
The single also came with a music video directed by the D’innocenzo Brothers.
In the video for “TALKING / ONCE AGAIN”, it starts with North West lip-syncing to the song’s sample as she’s getting her hair brushed and braided, followed by the start of her featured rap vocals.
The sample used in the single came from a stomp and shake routine from the Wilkes Barre Area High School cheerleading squad. The sample repeats the phrase “you don’t want no problems, you’re just talking”.
Not only does North West make an appearance in the video, so does Ty Dolla $ign’s daughter, Jailynn Crystal. Throughout the video are scenes of both daughters with their fathers sharing endearing moments together as the track itself shares themes of fatherhood.
The first time this song was teased was during a VULTURES listening event back in December 2023. North West was on stage with Kanye, Ty Dolla $ign, and other artists during the event.
