Description

Guest appearances include West’s daughter North, India Love, Freddie Gibbs, YG, Nipsey Hussle, Quavo, Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, Bump J, Lil Durk, Rich the Kid and Chris Brown.

West and Ty Dolla Sign began recording the album with collaborators in Italy in October 2023, then relocated to Saudi Arabia for three months. It sustained multiple delays and changes to the tracklist before release, following West’s struggles to secure a distributor. The release was first teased throughout late 2023 under the placeholder title $ and was set to be titled Vultures before being retitled to Vultures 1 as the first volume in an album series. The tracks “Everybody” and “New Body” were announced for the album, but could not be included due to clearance issues.
