"Promotion" is a song by the American hip hop superduo ¥$, composed of rapper Kanye West and singer Ty Dolla Sign, from their second studio album, Vultures 2 (2024). The song features vocals from Future. Prior to the song's release, Adin Ross previewed a snippet in July 2024.
On July 23, 2024, American influencer Adin Ross shared a snippet of "Promotion", revealing rapper Future's appearance.[1] At a concert in August, Ty Dolla Sign mistakenly said that Vultures 2 topped the US Billboard 200 prior to a performance of the song.[2] "Promotion" includes synthesizer tones and drum sounds.[3] West makes a lyrical reference to his hit single "Good Life" (2007), rapping "Like we always do it this..."[4][5]
"Promotion" was met with generally negative reviews from music critics. Writing for Slant Magazine, Paul Attard felt that West is not bothered with the song and called it "too-cutesy".[6] Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop was highly critical of the production, seeing the synth tones and drums as among the most generic work of 2024.[3] In a positive review at Billboard, Michael Saponara wrote that the song features West's strongest performance on the album as he utilizes his "Midas touch" and also praised Future's appearance.[5]
