Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have finally released their controversial new collaborative album, ‘Vultures 1’.The pair have been teasing their new album for some months, after news first circulated in August 2023 that West would be releasing new music “imminently” before reports of a late January release and then a drop date set for yesterday (Friday February 9).When that failed to materialise, many expected an indefinite wait.

However, the record – the first in an instalment of three – has now been released on Apple Music, Amazon Music, TIDAL and Spotify.

There was some delay before it arrived on the latter, leading many to believe that it might be available on the platform.The 16-track album also features contributions Lil Durk, Bump J, Freddie Gibbs, Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, Quavo, and West’s daughter, North.
