Ye’s YZY Squad Lands in Italy as Predictions for a ‘Vultures 2’ Listening Party Floats Around

Published 07/22/2024, 9:49 PM EDT

When Ye (formerly Kanye West) announced his return with ‘Vultures 1’, the world embraced his time-tested approach of building anticipation before the grand reveal. From global tours and setting up a makeshift studio to organizing listening parties and streaming new tracks, the Atlanta rapper did everything possible to keep the buzz rolling. Despite months of silence about ‘Vultures 2’, missed listening parties, and sporadic teasers, a recent update suggests that a listening party might be on the horizon as the YZY team has now arrived in Italy. 

This news comes hot on the heels of an earlier indication that ‘Vultures 2’ may be released sooner than expected.

Nearly four months have passed since the anticipated release of ‘Vultures 2’, but the album has yet to appear. While a recent update suggested an August release, fans remain skeptical due to Ye’s tendency for prolonged contemplation. However, there has been encouraging news on the horizon as GoodAssSub recently took to X on Kanye West Day to announce that Ye’s touring team has arrived in Italy and met with city officials, particularly the counselor, about significant upcoming events.

Fans who run the outlets on social media are widely speculating about a potential ‘Vultures 2’ listening party, but no official confirmation has been provided. Yet, additional information about the expected venture has emerged. The outlet also mentioned on Reddit, referencing Yeezytalia on Instagram, that the rumored location for this event might be Flava Beach in Naples. However, neither the dates nor the location have been confirmed yet.

Ye’s collaborative album ‘Vultures 2’ with Ty Dolla $ign was originally slated for release on March 8. However, after numerous delays, an X page named VIZION—reportedly managed by Massimo Venezia, the former head of YZY app development—has recently announced a new expected release date of August 15. Moreover, before this, Ty Dolla $ign also performed tracks from both ‘Vultures’ volumes 1 and 2 at the recently held Cowboys Music Festival in Calgary, Canada.

What got fans upbeat, however, was his promise to release ‘Vultures 2’ “very f**king soon”. Although this is not the first time $ign has made such a promise—he made a similar statement last month in a Billboard interview—the recent announcement of the new release date seems almost too coincidental to be anything other than a strong indication that ‘Vultures 2’ is indeed on the way. Therefore, a listening party does not seem out of the question.
