Showing that he’s a versatile all rounder, Ty steps up and produces this trap-heavy Khalifa cut. Wiz Khalifa - “Post Up”, produced by Ty Dolla $ign. When looking at the number of views on Youtube and plays on Spotify (over 150 million) it becomes clear that Ty and crew are definitely responsible for a TONNE of babies being made. It’s no surprise, then, that king of seduction The Weeknd is all over the song and he brings along some of his dirtiest lines to date. With a minimalist beat and hyper sexual lyrics, this is probably the best Ty song to bring to the bedroom. “Or Nah” with The Weeknd, Wiz Khalifa & DJ Mustard. Producer Ron Browz uses the smooth Ty vocals through the chorus to harmonise with Papoose, bringing a bit more depth to this already fun track. Ty proves here that he’s just as valuable in a straight up rap track as he is on his usual RnB cut. The opening lines of this track are a command to “don’t speak” and that’s pretty much the response we had to it. Papoose - “Michael Jackson” with Ty Dolla $ign & Remy Ma. Couple that unique delivery with Ty’s unique crooning and this track absolutely drips with flavour. Juicy J turning up is just something that’s too good too let fade away and his verse oozes that southern stop/start flow we love. Nearly two years later and this is still on heavy rotation in our office playlist. The additional vocals by Tinashe and the cat motif throughout the music video make this track quite the earworm. This unique appearance is ultimately what makes the song work, giving it a grimey catch-cry reminiscent of a Lady Sovereign banger. Out earlier in 2015, Drop that Kitty features one of Ty’s least likely collaborators in the form of the British songstress Charli XCX on chorus duties. “Drop that Kitty” with Charli XCX and Tinashe.
With the TD$ album Free TC out now, we figured it’s time to take a look at the best of his studio pow-wows with like minded collaborators. The dude would have to be a first choice team member for those flimsy group assignments everyone gets caught short with at Uni, because time and time again he gets results!
Ever since his breakthrough appearance on YG’s Toot It and Boot It in 2010, Ty Dolla $ign has built a huge career around working with other artists.
