Ty Dolla $ign made a high-profile comeback on Friday with Tycoon, his first solo album in five years. Released via Atlantic Records, the ambitious 25-track project lives up to its name with a lineup of heavyweight features. Tycoon assembles a who’s who of hip-hop and R&B, including Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, Chlöe, Juicy J, and more. The Los Angeles singer-songwriter/producer has been a prolific collaborator in recent years, but Tycoon marks his return to solo spotlight.
Ty Dolla $ign explained that the title reflects being at the peak of his craft: “A tycoon is a boss… a great boss, the best at your craft, the top of your game,” he told Billboard on release day. The new album showcases Ty’s signature blend of club-ready bangers and smooth R&B jams, from the hard-hitting “Don’t Kill the Party” to the sultry Chlöe duet “Wit It.” Fans on social media have celebrated the stacked guest list – one joked that Ty “assembled the Avengers” of the rap world on this record. Tycoon’s triumphant release proves that Ty Dolla $ign remains, as the title suggests, at the top of his game.
