with Ant Clemons · prod. damn james!, MixedByTheBest · Not Available · 2023
OG Filename: Aperol spritz 9 24 Initial version with Ant Clemons vocals, recorded in Italy. During a Twitch stream on December 24th, 2025, AyoAA was reading out filenames and said "Aperol spritz 9 24". This is likely the file he was sent to add production to. Before the tracklist version as it doesn't have Ye's snare yet.
with Ant Clemons · prod. damn james!, MixedByTheBest, Kanye West · CD Quality · 2023
Seen on the tracklist in the "BACK TO ME" video. Similar to previous versions but with a new snare, which was done by Ye in Italy according to damn james!. Snippet leaked August 9th, 2024.
prod. Kanye West, Wax Motif, Zach Frenes, Nic Nac, Count Bassy · High Quality · 2024
OG filename: back 2 me bj Bump J reference track with a different instrumental to release. Allegedly contains the extended Ye verse, though that was recorded on the version with the 88-Keys drum loop as can be heard in the bleed on release. Snippet leaked January 30th, 2024.
prod. Camper · High Quality · 2023
OG Filename: BAD BITCH PLAYBOOK 10.29.23 Bad Bitch Playbook title track with reference vocals from Ant Clemons. Unknown if a Ye or Ty version exists, although seeing as how this is dated after most of the era had already passed and they were in Saudi, it's likely. Interpolates "Super Freak" by Rick James. Original snippet leaked June 9th, 2026. The first two verses and the hook are meant as a reference for Ty while the final verse is meant for Ye.
with James Blake · prod. James Blake, Ty Dolla $ign, AyoAA · Recording · 2025
OG Filename: 10 Bobby Digital_01 Version with an additional "doo-doo-doo-doo" adlib during the first verse and a stronger bass on the second half of the song likely played by Ty.

Previewed by damn james! on an Instagram Live on November 27th, 2025, and in full on the 29th.
prod. ProdByJuice · Low Quality · 2023
This song was originally Bump J's, likely for either his album Dinner Time 2 B.O.y.N or Dinner Time 2 (The Old Man) which both have several songs produced by Juice. Ye liked the song so much that he took it for VULTURES 1, making it the lead single for the album. It's likely that this contains a slightly different beat, which can be heard in the bleed on Bump J's release verse. This beat is likely produced soley by Juice, as he is known to work with Bump J. It's unknown when this song was made, though Bump J was present both in Italy and Saudi sessions.
with Charlie Wilson · prod. The Legendary Traxster, Leon Thomas, Camper, AyoAA · CD Quality · 2023
OG Filename: burn - V5 Version with lighter drums and a Ty verse which was cut for release, lifted from his original Japan demo. Leaked about a month before VULTURES 1 released, likely inspiring Ye and Ty to put it on the album due to the positive reception it received.

OG Filename: forver - all togheter Song considered to be included on ¥$. Has Juice doing the hook and the first verse with Ty doing the second verse and a couple other punch-ins for the hook and Juice's verse.

Original snippet leaked January 5th, 2024. Was originally part of a Juice WRLD groupbuy for $12k.
