Ty Dolla $ign Delivers Comprehensive New Album 'Featuring Ty Dolla $ign'
The 25-track album includes appearances from Kid Cudi, Kanye West and more.
Ty Dolla $ign has dropped off his third studio album, Featuring Ty Dolla $ign.
Clocking in at one hour, the 25-track album boasts of a star-studded features list — Kid Cudi, serpentwithfeet, Post Malone, Kanye West, Anderson .Paak, Thundercat, Quavo, Lil Durk, Nicki Minaj, Burna Boy, Big Sean, Roddy Ricch, Mustard, Jhené Aiko, Kehlani, Future, Young Thug, Gunna, Musiq Soulchild, Tish Hyman, 6LACK, FKA twigs and Skrillex — but it’s not the impressive names that make this album a glorious effort. Featuring Ty Dolla $ign is tangible evidence of his mastery and flexibility, and his finesse for adapting to the sonic environment of whoever he works with remains unmatchable.
The Los Angeles artist revealed that the album offers a little something for everybody, and his focus on collaboration signifies “marrying frequencies.” He explained, “My approach to music has always been about frequencies, emotions and energy. When I collaborate, whether it’s for my project or someone else’s, it’s always about marrying frequencies. When I create a project and have artists featured on my songs, I don’t pick who the hottest artist is or what’s going to get the most streams, I choose which artist’s frequency is going to work best on the song. I use featured artists with the same precision that I would use any instrument.”
“Everybody has their own side of ‘Ty Dolla $ign’ that they prefer: the go-to collaborator of all genres, the underrated king of R&B, the hitmaker of the often raunchy club banger, the multi-instrumentalist & producer. Sometimes, I even want to use my different frequencies on my own songs,” Ty continued. “I decided to name my third studio album “Featuring Ty Dolla $ign” because there is truly something for everybody on this album. It features some of my most talented friends, on some of the best music I’ve made in my career.”
