Two days earlier, a video for the feature song with his daughter North West was released.
On the night of February 8, Ye aka Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign released a music video for “Vultures.” The lead single for the album has been released since November 22, 2023. At the same time, the 46-year-old posted a “Juice Version” on Instagram.
Video in nightmare aesthetics
With a new video for “Vultures (Havoc Version),” the rappers are preparing their fans for the upcoming release of their album. The song features parts from Lil Durk and Bump J.
The bizarre video, created by Canadian artist Jon Rafman, features sepia-toned clips of animals, a clown and, most importantly, guns. Again and again, men in black coats with hoods walk through empty corridors and we see buildings collapsing under clouds of dust.

Posted to Instagram, the “Juice Version,” produced by Aus, Onda and the rapper himself, features Ye under a spotlight that makes his shadow appear as wings. After the premiere of “Vultures,” West once again had to face accusations of being anti-Semitic. In the lead song he raps: “How am I anti-Semitic? I just fucked a Jewish bitch,” referring to his anti-Semitic comments last year. He recently apologized to the Jewish community in Hebrew, but the line still remains in the track.

On February 6th, the duo released the track “Talking/Once Again” together with Ye’s daughter North West. Singer James Blake provided the backround vocals.

Will Ye stick to the release dates?
Until now there was uncertainty about the release date for the new record VULTURES. New dates were announced again and again. But it’s nothing new for the rapper to not comply with these rules. According to Forbes, the release is now scheduled for February 9th. As Ye himself announced, the album will be released in three parts. Accordingly, “Volume 1” will be released on February 9th, “Volume 2” on March 8th and “Volume 3” on April 5th.
