Vory Releases New Single SIAMESE Featuring Rich The Kid

Vory is stepping into a new chapter. The Kentucky-born songwriter and artist, known for his fingerprints on records by Drake, Beyoncé and Jay-Z as The Carters, and Kanye West, has dropped "SIAMESE" featuring Rich The Kid, the first single off his upcoming album DONDADA.

The track is produced by Chrishan, Don Valy, Pray4iz, and fashotim. Lyrically, Vory leans into comic book mythology while recounting time spent in the South of France, and the song takes a left turn after the final chorus, trading melody for rock guitars and stadium-level drums. It is a flex of range from someone who has spent the better part of a decade proving he can do more than one thing.

What DONDADA Means for Vory's Independent Run

DONDADA drops August 14th and it is not just another release. It marks Vory's first full-length under his own independent label, EROS LLC. That is a significant move for someone with his credits. When you have a GRAMMY for Best Urban Contemporary Album (Everything Is Love), a co-write on Drake's "Mob Ties" that peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, and contributions across Kanye West's DONDA on tracks like "God Breathed" and "No Child Left Behind," you have the leverage to build something on your own terms. Vory is cashing in on that leverage now.

His backstory is worth understanding. He got his first major placement at 18, contributing to Bryson Tiller's "Don't," which eventually went Diamond. From there, he stacked 15 Platinum plaques and 4 Gold records across his written catalog, with additional credits for Lil Baby, 2 Chainz, and DaniLeigh. The résumé is long, but DONDADA is the project where Vory is finally the headline.

"SIAMESE" sets the tone by refusing to play it safe. The rock influence at the end of the track is not a gimmick. It reads more like a statement: the album is not going to sit in one lane.

Why Independent Artists Should Pay Attention

Vory's move to EROS LLC is the kind of story that matters beyond the music itself. He built enough industry credibility as a collaborator and songwriter to fund and control his own first album, on his own label. That path, from session contributor to label owner, is one that more artists are mapping out. And watching how DONDADA performs will tell the independent music community a lot about what that kind of leverage can actually buy you at the album level.
