The singer first teased the collaboration back in October

It seems like everywhere you turn, you hear Ty Dolla $ign. The singer has been featured on records with Lil Duval, Wiz Khalifa, Christian Combs, ScHoolboy Q, and YG in the last few months, and now it's finally about that time for him to drop his next album. Ty has been teasing this project for quite some time, including a single from the record that features J. Cole.

In a now-deleted Instagram post from October 2018, Ty shared an image of himself with Cole in the studio. He captioned the photo, “I’ve decided what I’m calling my new album..." without ever revealing the title for the forthcoming project. However, On Wednesday Ty shared a clip of himself in the studio once again with Cole as he danced to their single, giving listeners a taste of what's to come.

"First song off my new album drops next week," Ty wrote. "My brada @realcoleworld and I came up with this jam a few months back in NYC and off top I knew it was the first one I wanted y’all to hear. It’s called PURPLE EMOJI 😈. Produced by my brada from down under 🇦🇺 @mxxwllmusic #teamdolla it’s officially DOLLA$IGN $ZN again." Does this one sound like a banger?
