Vultures is the upcoming debut studio album by the American hip hop superduo ¥$, composed of Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign. It is scheduled to be released on December 31, 2023. The album features potential guest appearances from Lil Baby, Charlie Wilson, Freddie Gibbs, Offset, Quavo, Playboi Carti, Chris Brown, Future, India Love, Nicki Minaj, Bump J, Lil Durk, Lil Wayne, Bad Bunny, Kodak Black, Young Thug, Leon Bridges, Kid Cudi and West's daughter North West. Production was handled by West and Ty Dolla Sign, among others. It serves as a follow-up to both artists' respective 2021 albums, Donda and Cheers to the Best Memories, and also marks their first independent studio album.[b] It is West's first project since his series of antisemitic statements made in late 2022.

On August 25, 2023, NBC News reported that West had been working on music throughout the summer and planned to release a new album, saying "new music is imminent."[2] On October 13, 2023, Billboard reported that West and Ty Dolla Sign were planning to release a collaborative album and were shopping it to record labels for distribution.[3][4] The labels had been distancing themselves from West due to his widely publicized antisemitic comments in late 2022.[4] The album had seemingly been delayed because Universal Music Group, the parent company of Def Jam Recordings, West's previous label, stated that they were no longer working with him.[5] In October, West and Ty Dolla Sign were spotted in recording studios in Italy alongside other artists. A joint concert at RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, Italy was reportedly planned for October 20 but was delayed by a week and then cancelled.[6][7]

In an Instagram post on October 23, Ty Dolla Sign confirmed the album's existence and also announced a "multi stadium listening event" to be held on November 3 in promotion of the album, similar to listening parties West hosted during the release of his tenth studio album, Donda (2021). The post contained a black background with white text that displayed "¥$".[8][9] Leading up to the events, West and Ty Dolla Sign were spotted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, leading some fans to speculate that the events would take place there.[10] The events were cancelled, with the duo's plans to release the album that night being scrapped.[11] Fans likened the repeated delays and cancellations to Yandhi, an album by West that was supposed to be released in 2018 before being delayed a year and eventually released under a different name as Jesus Is King.[12]

During a performance in early November 2023, Ty Dolla Sign stated that he had just flown in from Saudi Arabia, where he was working with West on their upcoming album, and said that it was "coming real soon".[13] Videos of the two recording with American rapper Lil Baby in Saudi Arabia also surfaced online.[14] Images picturing West working in a "desolate setting surrounded by little except chairs and tents" were released as well.[15] British record producer Fred Again played snippets of a song by West and Ty Dolla Sign at a club, seemingly from their collaborative project.[10] On November 17, DJ Pharris previewed the title track, lead, and only single of the album, which features American rappers Bump J and Lil Durk, on his radio show, WPWX Power 92 Chicago, which was released five days later, marking the first collaborative effort by West and Ty Dolla Sign as ¥$.[16]
