In its 50th year of existence, the world of hip-hop bore witness to several music releases. A year defined by blockbuster album releases such as Metro Boomin’s hailed credibility to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Soon followed Drake’s much-awaited album in October with Nicki Minaj chiming in just days ago with her latest album after five years. Amid such an assortment of offerings, Kanye West remained largely off the scenes while now speed-running with ‘Vultures’ as the year comes to a close. However, there looks to be additional bundled surprises with the collaborations possibly extending up to the famed Rihanna.

Joining a long list of contributors, the upcoming album from the ‘Flashing Lights’ singer is taking a huge shape.

Rihanna may land alongside Metro Boomin for Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures

Kanye West threw his fandom down a spiraling hype when several rappers, including Metro Boomin, landed alongside him in Florence. At that time, months back, when fans were not even aware that ‘Vultures’ not only was the title track but the album name itself, key developments likely took shape. A recent whodunnit by a fan has connected several underlying dots to conclude that Metro Boomin’s track for ‘Vultures’, ‘Drunk’ would feature Rihanna, thus landing her alongside Kanye West.

An eagle-eyed detail, a subtle mention of “Need Ri to do” featured prominently in one of the ‘Home’ singer’s posts. If indeed true, the collaboration would mark Rihanna and Metro Boomin getting together after a year of ‘Metro Spider’. Moreover, the occasion would also mark years after the ‘Work’ singer reunited with Ye after first featuring for uncredited vocals in the rapper’s ‘Famous’. Moreover, with a collaboration extending beyond Ty Dolla $ign, ‘Vultures’ stands the chance to seal itself as Kanye West’s best album yet.

In the meantime, the rapper and his team have taken to fast-tracking, spilling updates on the juggernaut album.

Ye’s upcoming album gets decked up for a listening party

‘Vultures’ may soon land with its entire tracklist. A string of the latest updates hinted at a listening party for the album at Sawgrass Mills in Miami. Scheduled for 12th December, the event has already drawn massive interest in itself and a fair deal of scrutiny. Fans are wary of not having their heart-broken after West canceled an Italy concert after days of near-accurate speculation.

In the meantime, Ye has debuted a live performance of the title track in Dubai. Moreover, a mammoth collaboration is likely coming with rappers such as Playboy Carti also attaching themselves to the roster. Meanwhile, Rihanna’s inclusion may still be a grain of salt in this long stack of speculations. Regardless, patience may hold the key for fans.
