YE and Ty Dolla $ign’s second collaborative album, Vultures 2, showcases their ability to effortlessly blend Yeezy’s notion of maximal ambition for rap with Ty’s world of R&B aesthetics. The follow-up album, which was released six months after Vultures 1 appeared, introduces a wider sonic palette while delving deeper into the lyrical themes of excess, joy, and betrayal explored on the first album.
Loaded with guests such as Lil Wayne, Lil Baby, Young Thug, and North, Kanye’s daughter, Ye and Ty experience the tremendous peaks and disheartening troughs that accompany living a life of luxury. Future contributes a sassy chorus to our “PROMOTION.”
Ye and Ty often expand their scope beyond ladies and luxury, like on “RIVER,” which features stirring string swells and a knocking drum groove. Yeezy pays tribute to the song’s featured artist, Young Thug, realizing that despite the pain in his life, freedom is priceless.
