In a whirlwind of excitement, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign, collectively known as ¥$, premiered their collaborative album, "Vultures," at the Wynwood Marketplace in Miami, according to Variety.

The event, titled the Vultures Rave, promised a midnight start but left fans waiting for nearly two-and-a-half hours as technical difficulties hampered the set-up.

The premiere came on the heels of West's impromptu performance at a Jamaican restaurant just a day prior.

Despite glitches in the live stream on YouTube, those who stuck around were treated to a sneak peek of approximately 10 songs from the forthcoming album, set to be released this Friday.

Tickets for the event ranged from $200 for general admission to $10,000 for a table, with VIP passes available for $600.

The duo delivered a full-fledged experience by inviting guest stars like Chris Brown, Offset, Kodak Black, Lil Durk, Bump J, Freddie Gibbs, and West's own daughter, North, to join them on stage.

Kanye West's Musical Choices Spark Copyright Questions

Fans were treated to a more defined glimpse of the low-quality and incomplete snippets that have recently surfaced.

Many Kanye West enthusiasts may have already been acquainted with the opening track, "Everybody," as West had teased it on social media the previous week.

The track includes an interpolation of the Backstreet Boys' 1997 hit "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)."

Instead of utilizing a sample from the boy band, the song showcases a recreated chorus performed by Charlie Wilson, who collaborates with West, Ty, and Lil Baby on the track.

Unlike sampling, interpolation requires permission only from the publisher, not the record label. The Backstreet Boys, not being credited as songwriters, have no control over the song's use, Yahoo! News noted.

However, it remains unclear whether permission was sought from mega-hitmaker Max Martin or Denniz Pop's estate, as they are credited with writing the original song.

The unreleased status of the song raises questions about potential copyright violations.

It is possible that West could play the song publicly without officially releasing it, avoiding legal issues until it becomes commercially available.

Requests for comments from Backstreet Boys, Max Martin, and his publisher, Kobalt, went unanswered, with Kobalt's representative stating, "We do not comment on legal matters."

North West, the 10-Year-Old Prodigy, Joins the Musical Realm

In a surprising turn of events, North West, Kanye West's 10-year-old daughter, showcased her burgeoning musical talents during the Vultures listening party in Miami, per Teen Vogue.

North, who has already earned titles like unofficial Gen Alpha fashion police captain and Calabasas lemonade scammer, added "musician" to her repertoire with the guidance of her father.

Dressed in an all-black ensemble, complete with an oversized leather jacket and Yeezy slides, North took the stage alongside her dad to debut her verse on one of the tracks.

In her auto-tuned rendition, North confidently rapped, "It's your bestie. Miss, Miss Westie. Don't try to test me; it's gonna get messy. It's gonna get messy. Just, just bless me.
