MELROSE

"MELROSE" (also known by the name Codeine) is an unreleased song by Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign. The song was intended for the duo's second collaborative studio album VULTURES 2 but has been scrapped.
== Background ==
The song dates back to February 2024 at earliest, dating some time after the initial release of VULTURES 1. A 5 minute version of the song exists featuring more Ty Dolla $ign vocals and a mumble Ye verse was recorded on the 20th, 7 days after the release of VULTURES 1, but a version predating that one is said to exist by notorious leaker Luit containing Quavo vocals.https://plwcse.top/f/21c33d58de7d8870514e65a003c3be70 It's unclear whether Quavo's contributions were intended as a feature for the song or as a reference.
By March 8, a sample from another Kanye song from the Donda sessions was added onto the song and it was trimmed considerably.https://plwcse.top/f/40ae7dadd2acd4d1c92d84bf12b90be4 This version of the song was later played at a private listening party for VULTURES 2 that same day.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD8xTBCAhx8
Despite appearing on the May 3rd track listing for the album, the song had been scrapped going into the VULTURES 2 rework as it hadn't been worked on again since the listening party.
