"Ye About Mine" (originally titled "Let Me Chill Out") is an unreleased song by ¥$ (Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign) that was intended to release on their second collaborative studio album, VULTURES 2.
The song features vocals from Takeoff, Rich The Kid, and YoungBoy Never Broke Again.[1]
Background[]
The song was first created in mid-2022 by Takeoff, Rich, and YoungBoy.[2][3] At this point in time, its believed to have been considered for Takeoff's own solo album before his unfortunate demise later that year. After his death, the song had been presumably been taken by Rich The Kid.
Some time in 2024, Rich The Kid, one of the featured artists on the song had given the song to Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign for their second collaborative album, VULTURES 2.[3] The song was initially previewed at a private LP for the album in San Francisco.[4] The song had new strings added to the production and only Rich The Kid and Takeoff's verses were previewed, though it was later confirmed Youngboy had still been on the song.
On April 24, days after the May 3rd track listing was shared, The Rolling Stone wrote an article confirming that song and "DRUNK" were on the copy of VULTURES 2 they were given, citing the track as a "highlight" of the record.[3] Its unclear if any of the other May 3rd songs were on this copy of the album. However, when May 3rd came around, the album did not release, as the album had not been finished during this time as Ye had not recorded a high quality take for the song yet.[2]
The song had still been in consideration for VULTURES 2 after the rework post-May 3rd.[5] During this time period, Young Moose and Bump J would record references for Kanye for his final verse[6], although its unclear if he ever had covered these vocals.
The song was later mentioned again during Rich The Kid's Kanye retirement hoax, where the song had been briefly mentioned by Rich in a conversation between Kanye telling him to drop the song. This was the last mention of the song, as it had not appeared on any other known track lists going forward.
The song leaked on November 3rd, 2024.
