He brought out New York’s own Fabolous for a verse during “Type Of Shit I Hate.” He performed a medley of sex songs (though really, all Ty songs are sex songs) that included “Ratchet In My Benz,” from the Beach House 2 tape. He played songs off his most recent mixtape, Sign Language, and also went back to sing the hook from one of his very first hits, “Toot It And Boot It” (a track with the rapper YG). This could be a disadvantage in live performance, but it didn’t bother Ty Dolla $ign - at Irving Plaza, backed mainly by a DJ, he managed to cover all of this range with ease. Ty Dolla $ign Doubles His Money With Two Hits & All-Star Friends That’s a lot of styles to cover in a short amount of time. The ballad “Infatuated” could compete in the top 40 if Taylor Swift‘s pal Max Martin got his hands on it, while “My Cabana” samples the ’90s funk group Mint Condition. Take Ty’s Beach House mixtape: you’ll find “Float,” a gauzy track that sounds like the mercurial English singer Jai Paul, and “Another One,” with a hard chug that evokes ’80s pop. On top of his vocal gifts, Ty Dolla $ign’s production work is surprisingly wide-ranging - especially when compared to Mustard, who gets a lot of mileage out of one formula. At a time when clean, gritless vocals are the norm in all forms of pop, Ty’s practically Teddy Pendergrass. Ty possesses a thicker, more sinuous voice, with rough edges around a molten core. Male R&B is populated by artists like Usher, Chris Brown and August Alsina - light, lithe singers. This ubiquity doesn’t only stem from his love of a good time. Ty Dolla $ign & DJ Mustard Hit Top 10 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs He’s hopped on tracks from Mila J, Wiz Khalifa and Stalley he was tapped for the official remix of Dej Loaf‘s “Try Me ” he worked with Lupe Fiasco. He co-wrote Chris Brown‘s “Loyal,” one of the bigger hits of 2014. This has worked out well for the singer, who has appeared everywhere this year.
