Knowing Ye, once Kanye West, it was insane to even think fans would get three albums from February to April. But if Ye had dropped Volume 1 back in December or January, ‘Carnival’ would not hit the same, especially since many complained that the earlier versions sounded a bit unfinished. And if giving him more time means getting even more dope tracks like ‘Venom’ and ‘Aperol Spritz’, then why not? Nevertheless, for the second volume of ‘Vultures’, fans now hold both the date and platform of its unveiling.

Recently, a major update for the release of ‘Vultures 2’ proved that Ye is taking full control this time around, not leaning on anyone else after all the drama from the first volume.

The drama surrounding the first volume of 'Vultures' was intense. As soon as it was released, the album faced accusations of antisemitism along with distribution headaches with FUGA. This time, however, Ye is steering clear of third-party reliance for the album's release. Ye told the fan page @yefanatics earlier this month that he is planning to drop the album exclusively on Yeezy.com for $20 USD. In a recent interview with HYPERBEAST, the rapper said this decision to go "independent" made him the "happiest" he has ever been in his life. 

Earlier this month, the rapper in his conversation with @yefanatics said “It would be nice for our community to support the albums, Streaming is pirating". It seems like Ye has a thing for that number, $20, as he had also been selling his YZY Gap products at the same price. Whether this plan will come to fruition or remain conjectural is still uncertain. However, this is just one of the recent updates surrounding the second volume of the album.

The second volume now has a concrete release date, yet this new schedule suggests a potential delay for the third volume as well. 

The third volume of Vultures may also experience a delay

Ye hinted at a March 8 release for 'Vultures 2,' but as usual, it faced a delay. Now, a new official debut date of May 3rd is making rounds on the socials. While there is no official confirmation, still, a screenshot of a conversation with the rapper suggested that the album is in progress and it is in the "lab". However, this also prompted questions about the release of the third volume.

The third volume of 'Vultures' was supposed to come out on April 5. And it is highly unlikely that Ye would drop the third volume before the second. Consequently, it is possible that similar to the previous volumes, the third volume of Ye and Ty Dolla $ign's collaboration would also see a delay. However, the silver lining lies in the hope that the distribution issues will not plague the album this time.
