In the aftermath of Kanye West's touching
single "Only One" featuring Paul McCartney, Billboard landed
an exclusive interview with Ty Dolla $ign, who contributed to the
track. It's difficult to hear on first listen, but Ty Dolla's vocals are
on "Only One," an accomplishment that he told Billboard was like,
"running track and getting a gold medal. Constant gold medals!"
He also opened up about his recent recording sessions with
Ye. According to Ty Dolla, Kanye's cousin hit him up and asked him to come out
to Mexico for a week. Because of scheduling involving Ty Dolla's tour, he could
only stay with Kanye for two days, but he was sure to make the most of it:
"I came out there [and] we did like nine songs in one day; one of them
happened to be 'Only One'."
"It was like 24 hours, seven songs or nine songs that
day. I was like, 'I'm here with Kanye, I'm not gonna waste my time,'" said
Ty Dolla. He told Billboard about the recording process,
explaining how he related to Kanye during his stay.
"Just take my time and really examine what's dope
and what's not. He reminds me of myself a lot. [He has] all the homies around,
everybody being like 'yes' or 'no' [about a song]. Also, be real critical about
what you do, [and] not just let anything go out there.
At first, I was wondering what he was gonna' think and
all that shit, but I was like 'I'ma just do this like I'm doing it for myself'
and everybody fucked with it. I gave that nervous shit up a couple years back
and that's when I was able to get it pippin.' At first, I ain't gon' lie, I
used to be a little nervous about what people were gon' think about my music
but once I let that go, then everything started happening."
At the end of the interview, Ty Dolla dropped off this
golden nugget as well: There's a song featuring himself, Kanye, Paul McCartney,
and Rihanna that'll be on Kanye's next album. "It's
gonna drop soon. I heard they shot the video recently. I don't know what the
final title is, but I know it's crazy so just be looking out for [it]," he
said.
Yeezy season is fast approaching, folks.
