¥$ is an American hip-hop duo composed of Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and Ty Dolla $ign. The duo formally emerged in October 2023 when Ty Dolla $ign publicly announced that he and Ye were preparing to release a collaborative album under the name ¥$. Prior to adopting the joint artist identity, the two had an extensive creative history spanning nearly a decade, appearing on each other’s songs and contributing writing, production, and vocal performances across multiple projects. The origins of ¥$ trace back to Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s early collaborations throughout the mid-2010s. Ty Dolla $ign contributed vocals to Ye’s The Life of Pablo (2016), including the tracks “Fade” and “Real Friends,” and later participated in additional studio sessions during Ye’s Wyoming recording period in 2018. Their creative chemistry repeatedly surfaced on released and unreleased material, laying a documented foundation for a future joint project. ¥$ was first referenced publicly in October 2023 when Ty Dolla $ign posted promotional material confirming the duo’s name and announcing their first collaborative album. Leading up to its release, the pair hosted several listening events reflecting Ye’s established large-scale rollout approach. These events previewed material that would later appear on the group’s debut album, generating significant media coverage from outlets including Billboard, Variety, and Rolling Stone. The duo released their debut studio album, Vultures 1, on February 10, 2
