"Slide" is a song by American hip hop supergroup ¥$, composed of rapper Kanye West and singer Ty Dolla Sign. It was released as the lead single from the duo's second collaborative album, Vultures 2, on August 2, 2024, only a day before the album was released.[1][2][3] The song was first released on West's Yeezy website the day before but only a few hours before midnight in areas like the United States and Canada. It was written and produced by West and Ty, alongside Fred Again, AyoAA, Ryderoncrack, Apollo Parker, Lester Nowhere, Peter Lee Johnson, Leon Thomas III and London on da Track. Before its release, the song was rumored to feature vocals from English singer-songwriter James Blake.
