30 AKA : The Vultures, Ty Dolla $ign & 3 More »

"¥$ is an American hip hop supergroup formed by rapper Kanye West and singer Ty Dolla Sign. They strengthened their relationship in 2023, leading West to invite Ty Dolla Sign to record songs in Tokyo, Italy, and later Saudi Arabia. During the sessions for West's eleventh studio album, they started working on their joint project, Vultures 1 (2024). Vultures 1 received mixed reviews from critics but achieved commercial success. It debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 and featured the hit single "Carnival" (with Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti), which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The duo's second album, Vultures 2, came out in August 2024 after several delays.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign began working together in September 2014 on West's album, The Life of Pablo. Ty Dolla Sign co-wrote and sang on two singles, "Real Friends" and "Fade". Although they planned a collaborative project in 2014, it never happened. Ty Dolla Sign also provided uncredited vocals on West's album ye (2018) for the tracks "All Mine", "Wouldn't Leave", and "Violent Crimes". They recorded songs for West's scrapped album Yandhi, including "New Body" and "Sky City". When the album was reworked as Jesus Is King in 2019, Ty Dolla Sign appeared on "Everything We Need".

In October 2023, Ty Dolla Sign confirmed the duo and their upcoming album on Instagram, using the name ¥$. He later revealed during a performance that they were working on the album in Saudi Arabia. Videos of them recording with Lil Baby also appeared online.

The duo spent three months recording Vultures 1 in Saudi Arabia, mostly in al-Ula. DJ Camper, a collaborator, mentioned this. British singer ZLYAH helped write "Carnival". Producer Fred Again played snippets of their songs in a club.

The first public listening event for Vultures 1 was on February 8, 2024, at Chicago's United Center. The album was released through West's YZY brand on February 10, 2024, marking the 20th anniversary of his debut album The College Dropout. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200.
