Despite multiple setbacks, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign‘s long-awaited duet album ‘Vultures 1‘ finally migrated to digital music services on February 10.
Coming as the first of a three-volume affair, the 16-track project boasts guest appearances from Travis Scott, Chris Brown, Lil Durk, Lil Baby, Future, Playboi Carti, Freddie Gibbs, and more as well as a who’s who of production contributors like Timbaland, 88-Keys, No I.D., and, of course, West himself (to name a few).
The postponement of the LP’s release from January 12 to January 19 and eventually to the week of February 9 put it smack dab beside Usher‘s ‘Coming Home‘ – creating the year’s most exciting musical showdown yet.
And while the latter opus was aided by a Hot 100 top 40 hit (‘Good Good’), an aggressive promotional run, and increased visibility for its performer via the most-watched Super Bowl in history, the joint superpower of Kanye and Ty still seem poised to overpower the R&B singer on the Billboard 200.
