About ¥$

¥$ is an American hip-hop duo composed of Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and Ty Dolla $ign. The duo formally emerged in October 2023 when Ty Dolla $ign publicly announced that he and Ye were preparing to release a collaborative album under the name ¥$. Prior to adopting the joint artist identity, the two had an extensive creative history spanning nearly a decade, appearing on each other’s songs and contributing writing, production, and vocal performances across multiple projects. The origins of ¥$ trace back to Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s early collaborations throughout the mid-2010s. Ty Dolla $ign contributed vocals to Ye’s The Life of Pablo (2016), including the tracks “Fade” and “Real Friends,” and later participated in additional studio sessions during Ye’s Wyoming recording period in 2018. Their creative chemistry repeatedly surfaced on released and unreleased material, laying a documented foundation for a future joint project. ¥$ was first referenced publicly in October 2023 when Ty Dolla $ign posted promotional material confirming the duo’s name and announcing their first collaborative album. Leading up to its release, the pair hosted several listening events reflecting Ye’s established large-scale rollout approach. These events previewed material that would later appear on the group’s debut album, generating significant media coverage from outlets including Billboard, Variety, and Rolling Stone. The duo released their debut studio album, Vultures 1, on February 10, 2024 through Ye’s independent YZY label. The album became a major commercial success, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking Ye’s 11th No. 1 album and Ty Dolla $ign’s first career No. 1. The project also produced charting singles, including the track “Vultures,” which gained viral traction and entered multiple international charts. The release was covered internationally and received widespread commercial attention across streaming platforms. Following the success of Vultures 1, the duo released Vultures 2 on August 23, 2024. This album continued the collaborative structure of the first, expanding on the sonic pairing of Ye’s production and Ty Dolla $ign’s melodic contributions. Like its predecessor, Vultures 2 was released independently and drew extensive media coverage. Across both albums, ¥$ established a consistent musical identity characterized by experimental hip-hop, R&B melodies, and collaborative songwriting between the two members. As of 2024, ¥$ functions as an ongoing collaborative artist project, with Ye and Ty Dolla $ign credited jointly on releases, performances, and promotional materials under the ¥$ name. The duo’s catalog includes the Vultures series and multiple singles connected to the album rollouts. Their work as ¥$ marks one of the most high-profile artist partnerships in contemporary hip-hop, combining two established careers into a unified creative imprint supported by verifiable public documentation and industry reporting. As of 2025, the future of ¥$ is uncertain and largely unresolved. After releasing Vultures 1 and Vultures 2 in 2024, plans for the third and final installment of their Vultures trilogy have stalled, with no confirmed release date and public comments from Ty Dolla $ign suggesting the project may be on hold or indefinitely delayed. During interviews in late 2025, Ty gave cryptic updates about Vultures 3, noting that “a lot of music... could’ve been out” but offering no clear timeline, which has left fans unsure whether the album will ever be released. There are also indications that the working relationship between Ye and Ty Dolla $ign has become strained, with Ty offering minimal comment when asked about their collaboration and focusing attention on his 2025 solo album Tycoon. Additionally, legal issues related to their first Vultures project have seen Ty Dolla $ign settle his portion of a sample lawsuit, while claims against Ye remain ongoing.
