prod. Kanye West, John Cunningham · Recording · 2025
Seen on a VULTURES 1 tracklist from January 2024 on the back of a shirt worn by North West. Has 2 fully finished Ty verses based off of Ye's mumble, along with him harmonizing with the sample. It's possible at least one of Ty's verses are intended to be a reference for Ye. Lacks Ye's "I mean" bridge on the beatswitch but keeps his hook. Played by Ty during a stream with Auger after performing at the streamer awards on December 7th, 2025.
prod. 88-Keys, Chad Hugo, Camper, Manuel #1 · Recording · 2024
Version with re-recorded Ye vocals based off Rooga's reference track, using his hook at the beginning instead of Ty's.

Played on Ty's stream on December 7th, 2025 after performing at the streamer awards.
with Freddie Gibbs, Quavo · prod. Kanye West, 88-Keys, AyoAA, Wax Motif · Low Quality · 2023
Low quality leak of an early version, appearing as an iPhone SMS audio file randomly alongside the Freddie Gibbs song "A THOUSAND". Contains extra Freddie ad-libs and a different song structure, alongside a not fully mixed Ye freestyle on the outro, which eventually materialised as the long bridge we know as the "BBTBNWJDFOTSYK?" bridge.
with Chris Brown, Playboi Carti, The Hooligans · prod. Kanye West, SHDØW, Anthony Kilhoffer, London On Da Track, VITALS, JPEGMAFIA, Aver Ray, ¥$ · Recording · 2023
Initial SHDØW version played on an instagram live on March 29th, 2024. Made in Saudi when SHDØW first started working on the VULTURES albums through Timbaland. Seemingly very different from his other version based on the brief snippet we have.
prod. BoogzDaBeast, Finatik, Rory Noble · High Quality · 2024
OG Filename: BIG SEAN_FIGHTING FIRES_011924 Version with vocals from Big Sean, that he originally played himself on an IG Live, however he said that he didn't know if Ty and Ye were still going to use it for VULTURES 2, Big Sean later confirmed that it was actually his song, but he couldn't clear it in time. Samples "Transition" by Galaxy 2 Galaxy. Was posted to Big Sean's Soundcloud on August 29th, 2024, with the OG filename showing that it is actually from January 2024.
prod. Timbaland · Low Quality · 2024
OG Filename: BLOCK THE PAIN AWAY-YX-BAERO... Song with a finished Ye hook, unknown if Ty is on this. The beat in this snippet is not official, only the acapella. This is because Timbaland heard a song that made him add a Ye hook he had onto it.
with The Hooligans, Rich The Kid, Playboi Carti · prod. ¥$, TheLabCook, The Legendary Traxster, Ojivolta, Digital Nas, London On Da Track · High Quality · 2024
Version played at the Chicago listening party with a choir replacing the synth melody, new drums, a new take of Rich the Kid's verse, a re-recorded Ye verse and a new Carti verse, but still has the "Iron Man" sample. Ojivolta posted a story with the caption "CARNIVAL / H00LIGANS" confirming they did production for it. Version without the crowd found March 26th, 2024.
with Playboi Carti, Vory · prod. Digital Nas · Not Available · 2023
OG Filenames: Diginas FatMon WMI & diginas fatmon wmi Digital Nas showed texts between him and Fat Money that show him needing "help with this one", with Fat Money wanting to hop on the song, most likely as a reference for Ye. He later finished the reference, saying "this is the craziest shit I ever heard😭". Filename seen in texts between Digital Nas and Justin Laboy, with Nas likely intending for Laboy to send the reference to Ye.
with Playboi Carti, Vory · prod. Digital Nas · Not Available
OG Filename: we made it this far v1 Filename shown by Digital Nas, planning to get Ye to hop on it. Has a line that's either "what it feels like" or "but it feels good", likely from Digital Nas's verse. This is the version sent to Fat Money and AB. He would also later send this file to Rich The Kid, but he got ghosted.
with Kodak Black, Bad Bunny, Tory Lanez · prod. Spiff TV, Okami, VEYIS, SHDØW · Recording · 2023
OG Filename: drunk (shdow veyis vers ) 12... Track 14 on a tracklist posted by Ty Dolla $ign. Was played briefly at the VULTURES Miami rave, however it was not played on the live stream due to the stream having connection problems while the song was playing. This version lacks Ye vocals, with SHDØW previously stating that he was sent the original song to produce a new beat over. It's likely Ye did record for it however, as he is confirmed to have recorded to every song on this tracklist except for this one. Filename shared by VEYIS on Instagram, saying it was one of his favorite songs he produced. Bad Bunny's vocals originate from Spiff TV's unreleased song "So Drunk". Kodak had confirmed a Bad Bunny collaboration in a 2022 interview, which was most likely this song before it was taken for VULTURES. Another snippet was previewed by SHDØW May 29th, 2024.
with Lil Baby, Charlie Wilson, Charlie Willson · prod. Kanye West, will.i.am, Evian Christ, Timbaland, London On Da Track, Fya Man · Not Available · 2023
Initial version with Lil Baby and the "Shyne Eye Gal" sample outro that uses the Backstreet Boys sample on the hook instead of Charlie Wilson. Can be heard at the start of Baby's verse and the start of the sample outro on the CyHi reference.
with Don Toliver, Playboi Carti, Lil Durk · prod. Dez Wright, Wheezy, EJ PARIS, AyoAA, Shaun Enzo, SHDØW, Hubi, Timbaland, Ojivolta, The Legendary Traxster · Lossless · 2023
OG Filename: pbc 12-12-23 Initial version with Playboi Carti vocals, likely recorded on the solo Don Toliver open verse. Contrary to popular belief, this was not Playboi Carti's song, his engineer Fritz Owens bounces every Carti-related file in this format.
with Playboi Carti, Travis Scott · prod. BBYKOBE, SHDØW, Hubi, KAYTRANADA, Timbaland, JPEGMAFIA, Digital Nas, Che Pope · CD Quality · 2023
Version produced by SHDØW made 10 horus before it was previewed at Dukunoo Jamaica Kitchen. According Hubi, Timbaland sent SHDØW nothing but the acapella and told him to make a song around it, SHDØW then got Hubi on a Discord call at 4AM and made the song, sending it in at around 8AM (Poland time). They then woke up to see that Ye had just arrived in Miami and had played the song at Dukunoo. Full LQ played at the Las Vegas Vultures City afterparty on December 15th, 2023. Partial lossless iTunes file leaked July 31st, 2024. Has a faster intro compared to other versions. This version would be used as the basis for release, being further stripped back and further worked on by JPEGMAFIA and Che Pope.
with Playboi Carti · prod. BBYKOBE, SHDØW, Hubi · Not Available · 2023
OG Filename: fukk sum_12.21 Filename shown on YesJulz snapchat story. Any differences to other versions is unknown, but it's most likely just an alternate mix of the December version due to the similar length. Notably formatted in the same way as the "Field Trip" file from the same day.
with Kid Cudi · prod. Lester Nowhere, Sean Momberger, London On Da Track, Wheezy · CD Quality · 2023
Earlier version with Ty doing more vocals on the hook, different drums, without Cudi vocals and also Fre$h and Ty doing lines that Ye eventually does on later versions. This version contains no freestyle outro presumably. Played at Miami brunch back in December. Partial iTunes file leaked July 31st, 2024.
prod. ¥$, John Cunningham, Kanye West, KAYTRANADA · Not Available
Version seen on a Janurary 2025 whiteboard with a to-do list for producers. It is safe to assume that a version without added drums from the KAYTRANADA exists. Differences to the YEBU-era version are unknown, though it may have Ty vocals.
with Rich The Kid, Playboi Carti, The Hooligans · prod. TheLabCook, Ojivolta · High Quality · 2023
Version with an entirely different Ye verse and production compared to release. Rich The Kid's verse also includes the original line "pull up in Bentley with Dolla $ign" instead of "Yeezy and Dolla $ign" from the original version of the track before Ye was intended to be on it. According to Ty and Rich The Kid, the song was played for Ye shortly before the Las Vegas Rave, and Ye likely recorded for the song the same day before it was previewed at the rave. The background vocals on this version that form the melody playing throughout the song, which would later be covered by The Hooligans, were sung by Ye and processed with additional effects from DJ Fai. Samples "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. Played at the Vultures Las Vegas Rave on December 15, 2023.
with India Love · prod. SHDØW, Hubi, VEYIS, Vinnyforgood, The Legendary Traxster · CD Quality · 2024

iTunes tracklist version with no Lil Wayne verse, rougher mixing and a faster BPM not seen in later versions. Partial lossless iTunes file leaked July 31st, 2024. Uses the same drums as "KEYS TO MY LIFE".
with ¥$ · prod. FOREVEROLLING, Flex on the Beat, Audiovista, Kanye West, Mattazik Muzik · Not Available
According to Pop, this song was on a 2023 tracklist for Lil Baby's album WHAM. Sounds very similar, if not the same as the version played during the Miami LP.
prod. London On Da Track, Sean Momberger, Sean Momburger · Lossless · 2023

Track 10 on a tracklist posted by Ty Dolla $ign. Version played at the VULTURES Miami rave. Very similar to the Yandhi versions of the track, except the RONNY J tag is faster and has a different echo, and an extra word from Ye's freestyle is added to his verse. Heavily distorted due to microphone audio.
CD Quality · 2025
Fat Money reference track for Ye. Unknown if a version with Ye or Ty vocals exists. Samples a clip of Ye and Bianca getting confronted by a random stranger in January 2024, meaning this was likely made around that time. Snippet posted to Fat Money's TikTok December 21st, 2025.
with Lil Durk · prod. Wheezy, Akachi · Recording · 2025
Song which was very often skipped when Ty was playing VULTURES-era files on streams in fall 2025, later revealed to be the TYCOON throwaway "NOBODY FLEW HER OUT" seen on several tracklists before release. Unknown if Durk is featured, though it's possible there's a version which has Lil Durk doing reference vocals for Ye instead of a feature, similar to "WHAT I'M MISSING".
with Quavo · prod. Swizz Beatz, The Legendary Traxster, 88-Keys, ¥$, Digital Nas · Recording · 2024
Version with production from 88-Keys. Played on Instagram live December 14th, 2024. All these versions use Quavo's reference that Ye would later record over, but with release production.
