“Vultures” is the lead single of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s joint album of the same name. The track reunites Ye with Bump J for the first time since Bump was sentenced to ten years in federal prison after accepting a plea deal for an armed robbery committed in 2007.
This track sees Bump J reestablish himself to the mainstream as somebody who embraces a lifestyle of danger and luxury. Meanwhile, Ye rebounds Bump’s verse with a similar tone, as it marks his return to music after his 2022 exile from social media. Ye is followed by Ty Dolla $ign who takes the reins of the track to close it.
“Vultures” was first heard when a sleep-disrupted fan posted a snippet of it to Snapchat, awoken by Ye previewing it at a resort in Al-Ula, Saudi Arabia on November 16, 2023.
The following day, DJ Pharris premiered the track in its entirety on his Chicago radio station, Power 92. This version notably featured Lil Durk, but didn’t release initially for unknown reasons. Later that day, the Lil Durk remix released on all platforms.
