Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign are reportedly ready to share their collab album. According to Billboard, the artists plan to give fans a first listen at their project during a massive concert in Italy on Oct. 27.
Billboard Italia reports that the show will be held at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia which can hold up to 100,000 people. However, no confirmation has been made by either of the artists.
Reports surrounding Ye and Ty Dolla $ign's concert began earlier this month when a report via ReggiOnline, an Italian newspaper, said that Ye had a request for a stage to be built at the RCF Arena. The concert was initially planned to take place last Friday (Oct. 13).
"In the event the authorizations aren’t forthcoming, the date of the following Friday (which would be October 20) is also on the table. Additionally, there is speculation that the preparations are merely for an end-of-summer concert, and the rumors of who could be performing still hang in the air, especially in the absence of official confirmation from West’s camp or other camps," the site reports, via translation from Italian.
Kanye & Ty Dolla $ign Seen In The Studio
Last week, the R&B crooner went to put a feeler out on some new music he has been working on with Ye. He played the track in front of a crowd in Switzerland at the Le Baroque Club, according to HipHopDX.
"New album on the muthaf---in’ way," he yelled to the crowd.
Ye and Ty Dolla $ign have been in the studio for weeks. Earlier this month, in a new video clip shared via The Shade Room, the two musicians are vibing out to an unreleased song. In the clip, you hear vocals from both of them while they jump with excitement after Ye ends the clip.
Kanye's last album was Donda 2 in 2022 but it was only released on Stem Player. Prior to that, he released Donda (2021), which won the rapper two Grammys.
Before Kanye was the rapper, entrepreneur, and trendsetting mogul that he is today, he got his start as a producer most notably working with Jay-Z. Back in 2000, Ye was signed to Roc Nation’s team of in-house producers and from there the rest is history. With over 20 years of experience in the music business, Ye has continued to raise the industry standard.
