There’s confidence and then there’s TYCOON confidence. Diamond certified hitmaker, producer, and R&B shapeshifter Ty Dolla $ign returns with his fourth solo studio project, TYCOON, out now via Atlantic Records. The 15-track album is a masterclass in collaboration and creative freedom, featuring an all-star lineup that reads like a festival poster, with names including A$AP Rocky, Chlöe, Destroy Lonely, Kodak Black, Leon Thomas, Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, Quavo, Rich The Kid, Tory Lanez, Travis Scott, Tyga, YG, Young Thug, 2 Chainz, and more.
Ty also dropped the high energy music video for “Don’t Kill The Party” featuring Quavo, directed by Joseph Desrosiers, a cinematic flex that captures the chaos, charm, and confidence of an artist fully in control of his world. Known for his ability to elevate every record he touches, Ty doubles down on his signature sound throughout TYCOON: lush harmonies, sleek production, and that genre-bending swagger that made him one of R&B’s most versatile architects.
From the triumphant opener, “CAN’T BE FUCKED WITH,” to the reflective closer “I WISH,” Ty walks listeners through his evolution both personally and professionally. The lead single, “ALL IN,” hit this summer with effortless radio appeal, while “SMILE BODY PRETTY FACE” featuring Kodak Black and YG proves the chemistry between coasts is alive and well. There’s the drippy energy of “TYCOON$” with Young Thug and Lil Baby, and the immersive, emotional weight of “MIXED EMOTIONS” with Travis Scott and Leon Thomas, a perfect example of how Ty blends grit with grace. Even his solo cuts carry power; they’re not filler, they’re foundation.
For Ty Dolla $ign, TYCOON is a declaration. Now an executive as well as an artist, Ty is building his own empire through EZMNY Records, home to breakout R&B artist Leon Thomas. This project feels like a celebration of that independence. “This album is for everyone that has dreams and goals,” Ty says. “For everyone who goes to a job every day and works their ass off but knows they have way more to offer to the world. Put yourself out there and do it. Take that leap of faith. Push yourself outside of what’s comfortable. Dream big and believe in yourself. TYCOON is a state of mind.”
The message lands because it comes from someone who’s lived it. Earlier this year, Ty premiered his deeply personal documentary Still Free TC at the Tribeca Film Festival, a raw look at his journey and family life that adds new emotional context to his work. This fall, he was also honored as a 2025 Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Power Player, solidifying his role as a cultural architect shaping the sound of a generation. TYCOON captures that dual energy perfectly, it’s equal parts hustle and reflection, ambition and artistry.
TYCOON is Ty Dolla $ign’s next chapter, one built on hard won wisdom and relentless drive. It’s an album that does more than celebrate success, it defines it. And if Ty’s message rings true, being a tycoon isn’t about the money, it’s about the mindset.
