Paak and Thundercat’ (yes, all on the same song), pre-emptively lace the start of the album with gun powder for the explosive track ‘Expensive ft Nicki Minaj’ to finally ignite it. Tracks like ‘Temptations ft Kid Cudi’, ‘Spicy ft Post Malone’ and ‘Track 6 ft Kanye West, Anderson. Luckily for us, this album, for the most part, is a well thought through, enjoyable effort with clear vision.įeaturing Ty Dolla $ign hits it out of the proverbial park in the first half of this album, with the opening 17 tracks slipping and sliding into one another like a face-tatted autotune-trap-crooning anaconda. The LA-born rapper is undoubtedly self-aware of his countless appearances on other rappers’ hits, ironically naming his newest venture Featuring Ty Dolla $ign.Īt over an hour long with 25 tracks, you could be forgiven for thinking that Ty has made a throw-away cash grab features album, one that gets thrown on at a party and maybe occasionally turns heads with that one big single everyone knows.
is known as one of the biggest feature artists in the hip-hop scene, lending his auto-tuned chops to some of the greatest songs from the past decade. While Ty shows flashes of greatness as a singer throughout Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, you will ignore it in favor of the numerous vibes the album boasts.For the most part, Tyrone William Griffin Jr. The album features beats that will knock s**t off walls, beats that will soothe your ears, a bunch of different rappers, memorable melodies, spicy lyrics, deep-ass intros, meaningful bangers, club bangers, quirky bangers, slow jams, bizarre intros, and too much Kanye West. On Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, he makes the two genres sound like they’ve known each other for years.įeaturing Ty Dolla $ign is action-packed. Ty Dolla $ign was put on this earth to make hip-hop and R&B music play nice with one another. My biggest takeaway from this album: Ty Dolla $ign is a very versatile musician. While Ty Dolla $ign switches between a savage and a gentleman on the song, Post Malone switches between a savage and someone who can handle a lady savage.
The song features a beat that will turn nightclubs up, lyrics that promote one-night stands, and every single hip-hop melody in the book. People are going to f**k with “Spicy” a lot. SPICY Ty Dolla $ign and Post Malone don’t disappoint when they link up. By the time you are done listening to the song, you are going to want to break up with your Transformer-head-ass girlfriend/boyfriend.ġ. “Track 6” boasts “Computer Love” vibes, a catchy hook, very little Kanye West (Kanye helps Ty out on the hook), explosive raps by Anderson. TRACK 6 Ironically, “Track 6” has a basic title but it is a very dynamic track.
As for Kid Cudi, I find it interesting that he sounds like a dude that randomly whips his junk out when a girl is actually enjoying Netflix during a Netflix and Chill night on the song.Ģ. I absolutely love the funky beat that powers “Temptations.” I also love how Ty Dolla $ign switches between thirsty, gentle, and trill on the song. “Temptations” is a trippy banger that will make your drunk-ass garner enough confidence to talk to that one pretty girl that keeps eyeing you from the corner of the club.
TEMPTATIONS Who can say no to a song that features Kid Cudi? What I love about the song is that you can bop your head to it, but you can also let it massage your ears.ĭon’t you love it how Jhene AIko, the only woman on “By Yourself,” is an absolute savage on this song?ģ. “By Yourself” is infectious, therapeutic, meaningful, soulful, and slightly trill. BY YOURSELF “By Yourself” is a heartwarming banger that women of color will love. S**t, as I think about it, I also like “Time Will Tell,” another song that features no one…Ĥ. While the former sounds like a banger that you would hear in a lit lounge, the latter sounds like a slow jam you would hear at a very successful porno shop.
#Ty dolla ign latest album how to
There’s nothing like steamy R&B music! In both “Nothing Like Your Exes” and “Everywhere,” Ty Dolla $ign reminds the world that he is a playboy that knows how to spoil and knockdown chicks that aren’t his. NOTHING LIKE YOUR EXES/EVERYWHERE I can’t believe that I like two songs on Featuring Ty Dolla $ign that features no one (How is that mathematically possible?). Ty Dolla $ign packs “Featuring Ty Dolla $ign” with infectious melodies, tons of guest features, and booming beats.ĥ.
