Barring any last-minute changes, volume 1 of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures joint project is scheduled to arrive on Friday (Feb. 9).
The dynamic duo offered up a final appetizer Thursday (Feb. 8) with the eerie “Vultures (Havoc Version)” music video. The menacing beat differentiates from the 2023 original thanks to production from the Mobb Deep legend.
Jon Rafman serves as the director of the spooky clip, which doubles as a horror film capable of causing nightmares. Hooded ghosts are summoned for a ritual of sorts and a higher power forces natural disasters, fires and explosions all around them.
Earlier this week, Ye and Ty released another video where they twinned with their daughters and tugged on the heartstrings of fans for the “Talking/Once Again” clip.
“It’s your bestie, Miss, Miss Westie/ Don’t tryna test me/ It’s gonna get messy/ It’s gonna get messy/ Just, just bless me, bless me,” North West rhymes in her rap debut.
In January, Miss Westie and Kanye hinted at her first music video, as she suggested a treatment that included her driving a Lamborghini to Nobu Malibu and fending off paparazzi.
If all goes according to plan, Vultures will hit streaming services on Friday following the listening party for the LP back in Ye’s hometown of Chicago hosted by the United Center. The event will be livestreamed here.
After complaining he couldn’t book arenas, Long Island’s UBS Arena in New York opened its doors to West for another Vultures listening experience, which is scheduled for Friday night to celebrate the album’s hopeful arrival.
Vultures will mark the first project for West since his string of hate speech and antisemitic remarks, which resulted in companies such as Adidas and Def Jam distancing themselves from the 46-year-old rapper.
