Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign have announced the release of their album "Ravens 1" in Italy.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have announced two listening events for their "Vultures 1" album in Italy, amid a tumultuous first week of release. On Friday (Feb. 16), it was revealed that the duo will visit Italy next week for two listening events - one inMilan and the other in Bologna. The events will be a "high quality audio immersion" and tickets are already available for purchase. This news becomes significant considering that Kanye had planned to perform in this country last year.

Back in October 2023, it was reported that Yee's showcase concert was to be held at the RCF Arena in the northern city of Reggio Emilia. The event was rumored to be organized by Italian promotional company Vivo Concerti. However, no official announcement has been made.

Kanye and Ty also have a connection to Italy. Both superstars have engaged in a joint project with a fan group of soccer club InterMilan. According to The Daily Mail, the Curva Nord Milano fan group took part in the recording of the songs "Stars" and "Carnival" as accompaniment vocalists.

As is often the case with the Yeezus star, the "Vultures 1" album is shrouded in controversy.

Earlier this week, West addressed his fans after his new album was removed from music platforms. "Vultures 1" faced a number of issues, and the track "Good (Don't Die)" was removed from Spotify. The entire album was also temporarily removed from Apple Music after a complaint from its distributor. "Vultures 1" was first distributed by FUGA, but they later said in a statement to Billboard that "a long-term FUGA customer used the platform's automated processes to deliver the 'Vultures 1' album, violating our service agreement." The album was then removed from music streaming platforms, but a new distribution agreement was later reached with Label Engine, who also handled the release of the singles "Vultures" and "Talking/Once Again".

Following the drama, West posted a message on Instagram for his followers, writing, "Since all music platforms have removed this album, you can purchase it on Yeezy.com :)))))". The song "Good (Don't Die)" was removed from streaming services on Wednesday (Feb. 14) after Donna Summer's legacy foundation accused Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign of using a snippet of her 1977 disco hit "I Feel Love" without permission.

Summer's heirs wrote on Instagram immediately after the release of "Vultures 1," "Kanye West requested permission to use Donna Summer's song, 'I Feel Love,' [but] was denied. He changed the lyrics, put a different artist or used artificial intelligence, but it's still 'I Feel Love'... copyright infringement!".
