Ahead of their highly anticipated album release, Kanye West (now known as Ye) and Ty Dolla $ign have unveiled a chilling music video for their track “Vultures (Havoc Version).” The video, which Jon Rafman directed, paints a bleak and unsettling picture that sets the tone for what looks to be a powerful and thought-provoking project.
A Haunting Visual Feast:
The video opens with stark black-and-white visuals, quickly transitioning into scenes of desolate landscapes and abandoned buildings. Ye and Ty Dolla $ign appear throughout, rapping amongst flickering flames and weathered structures, their expressions mirroring the video’s ominous feel.
“This video perfectly captures the dark energy of the song,” said Ty Dolla $ign in a recent interview. “It’s a visual representation of the struggles we all face, the internal battles we fight, and the vultures that circle waiting to prey on our weaknesses.”
Havoc’s Gritty Touch:
The “Havoc Version” of the song features a darker, more menacing production courtesy of Mobb Deep legend Havoc. The gritty beats and haunting melodies add a layer of intensity to the track, further amplifying the video’s unsettling atmosphere.
“Havoc brought a whole new dimension to the song,” explained Ye. “His production is raw and powerful, just like the themes we’re exploring. It’s a perfect collaboration.”
