Over the weekend, Ye and Ty Dolla $ign celebrated the release of their second collaborative album, Vultures 2 — and during a private party, they played an unreleased track featuring Skepta.
Footage captured from the event shows Ye manning the ones and twos as his and Big Smoke’s vocals can be heard blaring through the speakers. “What n—a you mad ’bout? He a pimp, he’ll tell ’em ‘fore you assed out/I hear that they take all the cash out, I’m cashed out/Guess you could say my spirit animal’s a cash cow,” Ye could be heard rapping what sounds like the chorus.
In another video that cuts off before his verse ends, the British MC raps, “How we livin’?/I’m never quittin’/Feel like whippin’/Rollie ain’t tickin’/818 sippin’/Sauce spillin’.”
Last week, Ye and Ty Dolla released a Vultures 2 deluxe edition with three new songs featuring Peso Pluma, Kid Cudi and Kodak Black, which helped them debut at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
There’s no word if “Cash Cow” will be included as another Vultures 2 bonus or if it will make an appearance on the last installment of the trilogy, Vultures 3.
While linked through music, fashion and Virgil Abloh for years, Skepta and Ye have never officially released a song together. Their most notable collab was when Skepta and his friends — dressed in all black — mobbed on stage as Ye, Allan Kingdom and Theophilus London performed “All Day” during the 2015 Brit Awards. That epic performance also featured the viral meme of Taylor Swift dancing.
