Travis Scott & Quavo Announce Release Date For ‘Huncho Jack’ Mixtape [PEEP]

The highly-anticipated Travis Scott and Quavo project, which was originally announced back in April finally got an official release date today, after months of hype, delay, and anticipation. Scott and Quavo gifted their fans today with a release date of Christmas Day for their ‘Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho’ collaborative project.

Quavo began the announcement by posting a cryptic message on his Instagram that read, “Huncho.” Travis Scott followed suit by tweeting and posting an image on his Instagram that said, “Jack.” Both images were matching as they shared the same font and white background.

On the caption both rappers alluded to the Christmas Day release by writing “Merry Xmas” and “Merry Christmas.”

Travis Scott said back in October that if the Houston Astros won the World Series, he would drop the project. That never happened, as the project continued to be delayed.

There isn’t much other information aside from the title and potentially that Mike Dean is executive producing, after sharing photos and tweeting about it.

New Video: Quality Control – “Ice Tray” Feat. Quavo & Lil Yachty [WATCH]

Quality Control Music put out their ‘Control the Streets: Vol. 1’ compilation a few weeks ago that included a few bangers. One of the standouts on the project is a collaboration between labelmates, Quavo and Lil Yachty. The combination uses the track to come at Joe Budden, whom they have beefed with for most of this year.

Quavi co-directed the video along with Millicent Hailes. The visual is fueled like the song, by the Joe Budden beef. Quavo and Hailes recreate the set from Complex’s “Everyday Struggle” as they ridicule Budden with a character named Jumpoff Joe Beezy.

G-Eazy’s recently-released ‘The Beautiful & Damned’ album has been quite a success. It has garnered heavy attention for the Bay Area rapper and placed him on night television shows and also been one of the most fluid bodies of work from all the December 15th releases that include Eminem, N*E*R*D, Jeezy, amongst others.

To celebrate the album’s success G-Eazy releases his “The Beautiful & Damned” short film, which includes music from the album. In the film G struggles with his relationship as stress and pressure put a burden on it.

‘The Beautiful & Damned’ is expected to sell between 130-150k copies in its first week. That could be enough to earn a No. 2 spot on the charts behind Eminem, who is expected to score another No. 1 album. Congrats to both rappers.
