Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, Rich the Kid, and Playboi Carti are currently enjoying the media attention surrounding their names as their collaboration for Vultures 1, Carnival, has ranked No. 1 on Billboard Top 10.

Yesterday (Mar. 13) news broke that Ye and Ty (popularly known as ¥$) would be executive producing Rich the Kid's new album, which will be the follow-up project to his 2020 project Boss Man. He has reposted several accounts and portals that posted about the update.

In a now-deleted Instagram post, Rich was seen celebrating the No. 1 achievement as well as stating:

“Thank you to all the fans, my family that always support love! #V2 & My [new] album exec prod. by Ye & Ty$ OTW”

Life's A Gamble is set to be Rich's first release in over four years and appears to be the reason why fans have been highlighting their anticipation for the upcoming album. One fan was found showing the project support on X (formerly Twitter) by stating Ye and Ty's production will "usher" in a completely new style of music.
