¥$ (pronounced "Ye and Dolla Sign")[citation needed] is an American hip-hop superduo composed of American rapper Kanye West and American singer Ty Dolla Sign. With the two maintaining a strong relationship during 2023, West invited Ty Dolla Sign to record songs in Tokyo, Italy, and later Saudi Arabia. During this time, the duo began work on their collaborative effort, Vultures 1 (2024), which debuted atop the US Billboard 200 and saw mixed critical response.
Vultures 1 spawned the single "Carnival" (with Rich the Kid featuring Playboi Carti), which peaked atop the US Billboard Hot 100. After several delays, the duo's second album, Vultures 2 (2024), was released in August of that year. It was met with weaker sales—peaking at number two on the Billboard 200—and negative reception from critics, who felt the album was exceedingly unfinished. They won Best Group at the BET Awards 2024.
American rapper Kanye West and singer Ty Dolla Sign began collaborating in September 2014 during the production of West's seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo. Ty Dolla Sign co-wrote and provided vocals on two of its singles, "Real Friends" and "Fade".
Ty Dolla Sign also provided uncredited vocals on West's eighth studio album Ye (2018), on the tracks "All Mine", "Wouldn't Leave" and "Violent Crimes". That same year, the duo had recorded several songs intended for West's ninth studio album, known at the time as Yandhi, which was delayed indefinitely and ultimately scrapped. Ty Dolla Sign contributed to its unreleased tracks "New Body" and "Sky City", the latter of which was later included on Vultures 2. The following year, the album was re-announced as Jesus Is King, which, despite excluding the latter two songs from Yandhi, included a guest appearance from Ty Dolla Sign on "Everything We Need".
In October 2023, Ty Dolla Sign confirmed the existence of the duo and their upcoming album via an Instagram post displaying the name ¥$. During a performance in November 2023, he revealed that he had been working with West on the album in Saudi Arabia and that it would be "coming real soon". Videos of the artists recording with rapper Lil Baby also surfaced online.
West and Ty Dolla Sign spent three months recording Vultures 1 in Saudi Arabia, mostly in the city of al-Ula, according to collaborator DJ Camper. British singer ZLYAH, who West inspired, contributed to the writing of the track "Carnival". Record producer Fred Again played snippets of the song "Slide" at a club, leading to rumors that it'd be featured on the album.
The album's first public listening event was announced for February 8, 2024, at Chicago's United Center. Vultures 1 was released independently through West's YZY brand on February 10, 2024, commemorating the 20th anniversary of his debut album The College Dropout. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200.
On January 23, 2024, West revealed that the Vultures project would be released as a trilogy, with the first installment, Vultures 1, scheduled for release on February 9, 2024. The next volumes, Vultures 2 and 3, were scheduled to release on March 8 and April 5 respectively. The second volume, Vultures 2, was eventually released on August 3, with the final part, Vultures 3, being cancelled after a falling out between West and Ty Dolla Sign.
