Songs like “Temptations” and “Real Life” hint at exhaustion behind all the failed relationships, an indication that being LA’s most celestial sex symbol since Jim Morrison isn’t all it’s hyped up to be. Yet Ty balances his skills of seduction with a sobering regret for the fast lifestyle he’s enjoyed. On project-highlight “Everywhere,” Ty pledges to make a lover “hit high notes like Mariah” with a croon which might result in thousands of lockdown babies. But it’s the perfect album title, as it’s about reclaiming that. "I’ve had a lot of success through all the features that I’ve done. “I’ve been peeping all the comments from my fans and other people," he continues.

Ty adds: “Sometimes it takes a long time for certain people to catch up and get it, you know?"

Yet his work is too often overlooked – near faultless albums and mixtapes like Free TC, Sign Language, Beach House, and Beach House 3, are packed with risk-taking melodies (“Miracle / Wherever” is the “A Day in the Life” of modern soul) and a diverse array of instrumentation but are rarely spoken of as classics. Ty’s grandiose, trap-enthused take on R&B, in which the 38-year-old hops between singing the blues and shit talking your fiancé into bed, has been adopted by just about everybody dominating the charts. Brimming with invention and non-stop addictive, X-rated hooks (Snoop Dogg recently called Ty the new Nate Dogg) that only he could pull off, the album fully eradicates the career misconceptions which have trailed him for years and stands proudly as an undeniable solo project. And in a delicious checkmate of a move, the myth that Ty is a better collaborator than a solo artist is cheekily dispatched in the album’s title. Ty’s new Featuring Ty Dolla $ign LP is arguably the best record of his career, entrenching his position as the Wordsworth of smut. “These glasses are Cartier,” he says, “so yeah, you’re right: I’m super confident right now.” Maybe it’s just euphoria from all the Gushers he’s been smoking, but there’s a noticeable spring in his step, and I’m sure I can see a glint behind the obsidian black of his luxury sunglasses. Ty Dollar $ign (otherwise known as Tyrone William Griffin, Jr.) has the confidence of a man who knows he’ll live forever.
