Kanye West's 'Vultures 2' Album to Feature Posthumous Verse from Takeoff
Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign are teaming up once again for their highly anticipated album, "Vultures 2." The sequel to their successful collaborative project, "Vultures 1," promises to be a significant moment for fans of both artists. However, what's truly capturing attention is the inclusion of a posthumous feature from the late Takeoff, a member of the renowned rap trio Migos.
The track, tentatively titled "Let Me Chill Out," is expected to showcase Takeoff's lyrical prowess. But it won't be a solo effort—Rich the Kid and NBA Youngboy will also contribute to this poignant song. Rolling Stone reports that this collaboration will be one of the highlight tracks on the album. For fans who mourned Takeoff's untimely passing in 2022, this feature provides an opportunity to hear his voice once again, preserving his legacy within the music industry.
Originally scheduled for a March 8 release, the album faced delays and uncertainty. Kanye West, affectionately known as Ye, recently confirmed the new release date during an interview on Justin LaBoy's "The Download" podcast: May 3. The journey to "Vultures 2" has been marked by broken promises, including scrapped listening sessions and unexpected changes. However, fans remain hopeful that the wait will be worth it, especially considering the success of the first installment, "Vultures 1," which debuted atop the Billboard 200 and featured the hit single "Carnival."
Takeoff's uncle, fellow Migos member Quavo, expressed a desire to keep his unreleased music "very, very sacred." Known for his dedication to perfection, Takeoff's posthumous verse on "Let Me Chill Out" is expected to honor his memory and contribute to his lasting impact. Previously, Takeoff appeared on songs like "Patty Cake" and "Back Where It Begins" from Quavo's 2023 album, "Rocket Power."
As the release date for "Vultures 2" approaches, the album faces stiff competition on the Billboard 200. Notably, Dua Lipa's "Radical Optimism" is also scheduled for May 3, and Taylor Swift's "The Tortured Poets Department" remains a strong contender. Fans eagerly await the album's drop, hoping for another chart-topping success.
