The V2 deluxe was released on Tuesday night (Aug. 6) on Yeezy’s website. It comes equipped with updated songs and a bonus track titled “Take Off Your Dress.” Featuring a Talmadge Armstrong “Please Make It Good Again” sample, the track was a Vultures session holy grail, and many fans figured there were clearance issues keeping it from making the album on streaming services.

The Yeezy team appears to have gotten over that hurdle, with the song being added as a bonus on the deluxe. New Yeezy chief of staff Eric J. Cui reportedly says the song will eventually appear on streaming platforms. Fans can purchase the deluxe with “Take Off Your Dress” on the Yeezy website for $5.

Cui confirmed to Billboard that the album will continue to be updated, with every track being remastered in the coming days. Several songs have already been sonically cleaned up, with new mixes replacing original versions on streaming services.

This isn’t the only deluxe that will be released for Vultures 2, either. Cui says more tracks are on the way, but they’ll be unleashed packaged into separate deluxe albums.

Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department returned to the top of the latest Billboard 200, and is standing in the way of Ye earning a 12th No. 1 album. West doesn’t appear to be doing much to help his own cause in that regard, since he’s yet to publicly acknowledge or post about Vultures 2 on his social media accounts.

A rumored release date for V2 was slated for Aug. 2 when Ye and Ty kicked off the project’s rollout with the arrival of “Slide” as the lead single. Following a YouTube live stream premiere in the early hours of Saturday (Aug. 3), Vultures 2 began popping up on streaming services.

The Vultures duo is slated to bring the album to Salt Lake City on Friday (Aug. 9) for a listening experience before heading to Asia later this month.
