Vultures 2 is the upcoming second collaborative studio album by American rapper and producer Kanye West and singer Ty Dolla Sign, collectively known as ¥$. The second album from the Vultures trilogy and a sequel to Vultures 1, it is set to be released independently through West's YZY brand.

Background and development

On January 23, 2024, West revealed that a Vultures series would be released as a trilogy, with the first being released in February, the second on March 8, and the final on April 5.[1] The first part, released on February 10, was met with a slight delay and went on to reach number one on the Billboard 200 as well as in numerous other countries.[2] On February 25, producer Timbaland, who also worked on Vultures 1, announced that the second installment was "on the way."[3] On March 3, rapper French Montana announced his involvement and shared a clip of him and the duo in the recording studio.[4] After the album had not come out on its scheduled release date of March 8, West announced that the album was still in the works as he and Ty Dolla Sign were still "in the lab."[5] On March 10, West said in Instagram DMs to @itslitmag and @yefanatics that he would be selling Vultures 2 on the Yeezy website for $20 instead of releasing it on streaming platforms like Vultures 1. He stated this decision was made so "we won’t have the streaming companies in control of the artist anymore."[6]

Cover art

On March 9, West announced the album and revealed its artwork through his Twitter account.[7] The cover features a masked Ty Dolla Sign dressed in all black holding an image of his brother, Jabreal "Big TC" Muhammad, who is currently serving a life sentence for a murder he claims he did not commit.[8]
