Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign‘s highly anticipated joint album, “Vultures,” received a new release date after it failed to drop on the scheduled December 15 date.
A rep for Ye confirmed to Yo! Raps that the awaited project will now be dropping on December 31. The rep also confirmed that the pair will be throwing another rave event in Saudi Arabia to celebrate the album’s release.
The much talked-about collaborative album has been delayed for numerous clearance issues. Kanye’s “Everybody” record, which samples the Backstreet Boys 1999 hit “Backstreet Back,” was reportedly not cleared. In addition, last week, Nicki Minaj failed to grant West’s request to clear their 2018 collaboration “New Body.”
“Now regarding Kanye, that train has left the station, OK?” Minaj said. “No disrespect in any way, I just put out a brand new album. Now why would I put out a song that has been out for three years? Come on guys. You know?”
West responded to Minaj’s rejection at a “Vultures” listening party, saying: “I made that girl rewrite her verse three times for ‘Monster.’ I supported her career.”
According to the Apple Music tracklisting, “Vultures” will include a total of 18 tracks. All songs on the album include an explicit warning but only the title track is currently available for streaming.
