Ty Dolla $ign is finally releasing new music since his last album 2017’s Beach House 3 and his song 2018’s “MigTy” with Jeremih.
The new single, “Ego Death” features Kanye West, Skrillex, and FKA Twigs and it references Ralphi Rosario’s club single “You Used to Hold Me” and nods to Ultra Naté’s “Free.”
In a statement that went along with the release of the new song, Ty Dolla $ign said, “‘Ego Death’ is a very special record. It’s always an honor working with my brother ‘Ye. He’s a genius and we make incredible records every single time we link up. Skrillex and Twigs came in and blessed us with the magic that only they can put on the record. I played it once at a house party and everyone went crazy. A clip leaked online and shit but that’s all good. I just had to find the right time to put it out, so I’m excited that it’s finally THAT TIME! My new album is done and it’s coming very soon. Shout to my fans for being patient while I made sure it was perfect, it’s worth the wait…it’s my best work yet. I can’t wait for y’all to hear it!.”
West raps about many things in the song including the Grammys, the Super Bowl, the struggles of Black Musicians, birth control, and voting, which i seen in the lines, “All these halfway movements/ Need a lot of improvements…/Showin’ up to the Grammys mad/Tryin’ to win something we already had/Tryin’ to become something we already are.”
The two rappers teamed up for West’s 2016 “Fade” which appeared on his album The Life of Pablo..
