Ty Dolla $ign and Kanye West are gearing up to release a highly anticipated joint album, which Ty Dolla $ign recently announced is “coming real soon.” This project has generated significant buzz, especially considering the duo’s history of successful collaborations in the past. They’ve previously teamed up on tracks like “Junya Pt 2” on Kanye’s 2021 album “Donda,” as well as “Ego Death,” “Everything We Need,” “Real Friends,” and “Only One.” Their partnership dates back to at least 2014, showcasing a long-standing musical synergy.
The production of this album included a phase in Saudi Arabia, where Ty Dolla $ign mentioned he was recording a part of the album with Kanye. However, the release of the album has faced delays, primarily due to the challenge of securing a distribution deal. Last month, it was reported that they were seeking a distribution partner and were considering five different offers. Despite the non-controversial nature of the album’s content, the search for a distributor has been complicated by the reluctance of some companies to associate with Kanye West, following his previous controversial remarks, including anti-Semitic comments. This hesitancy comes despite insiders claiming that the album may feature some of Kanye West’s best work in years.
Kanye West’s last full-length project, “Donda 2,” was released exclusively on his Donda Stem Player, a device developed in partnership with Kano Computing. Ty Dolla Sign is signed with Warner Music. The release date for the joint album was initially set for October 13 but has been pushed back due to the distribution issues. Both artists hope to release the album before the year ends, with a decision on the distribution partner expected soon.
