New Video: Travis Scott – “Way Back” [WATCH]

travis-scott-wb-video

One day after his ‘Birds In the Trap Sing McKnight’ album goes platinum, Travis Scott unleashes the video for “way back” off the album.

The Travis Scott-directed 7-minute video begins with Houston Rockets’ baller, James Harden sitting in his LA mansion watching television on six different flat screens as Stephen A Smith is heard calling him “disingenuous”. From there he’s back in Houston in a not so luxurious pad watching television as Smith continues to ramble before going outside to shoot hoops.

Eventually Travis is shown playing a video game as James Harden, while Harden is shown upside down singing Kid Cudi’s lyrics on the song. Cudi and Swizz Beatz, who are featured on the song don’t appear in the video.

Travis dropped the video on his Twitter with a caption that read, ““WAY BACK VIDEO, I DID THIS FOR A PROJECT I DID IN HOUSTON A WHILE AGO. HERE U GO.”

Yesterday both Scott’s ‘Birds’ and ‘Rodeo’ albums went platinum. IT’S LIT.

Travis Scott Performs “Goosebumps” 14 Times & Sets Record [WATCH]

1494989358_df5c35d87a26acf61cca13d63123a239

Fans at Travis Scott’s Oklahoma City stop of his “Birds Eye View Tour” got to be a part of history, as they witnessed the rapper perform the platinum-selling single a total of 14 consecutive times. The performance set a record, previously set by Jay-Z and Kanye West.

Jay-Z and Kanye West set the record in 2012 during their joint “Watch The Throne Tour,” where they performed “N****z In Paris” 12 consecutive times in Paris, France. Prior to the performance Ye and Jay gave mention to the feat saying, “This will be the most times a song has ever been performed, the most times anybody ever performed a song in concert,” said Kanye. “This is for the record,” added Hov.

After shattering the record, Travis acknowledged Jay and Ye saying, “We just broke a record that was set way, way long ago. We just broke that shit, right? I think we broke that one. What’s the record? How many is it, 13? I’ma do 14 just in case they say, ‘Nah, that’s not it.’ We’re gonna do one more.”

It’s not known what made Travis want to go for a record-setting night, but he did. It’s unknown at this point if the Guinness World Records has certified the feat. La Flare’s camp doesn’t seem to care though as they’ve already said it’s the most times an artist has performed a single at a show.

Watch below.

Travis Scott Confirms Joint Project With Quavo Is “Coming Soon” [PEEP]

travis-scott-quavo-collab-01-480x320

If you didn’t know, Travis Scott loves surprises and surprising. Just yesterday he surprised his fans with the release of his three new singles “A Man,” “Green & Purple,” and “Butterfly Effect”. La Flame apparently isn’t done and has more surprises in store.

In an interview with GQ, Travis announced that his rumored collaborative project with Quavo is more than a rumor and is in fact “coming soon.” The “Biebs In the Trap” rapper said the project will be a “surprise” release and there is currently no title or set drop date, but new music is on the way.

“The Quavo album is coming soon,” he said. “I’m dropping new music soon. You know how I do it though: I like surprises.”

Aside from the joint project with Quavo, Scott continues to work on his forthcoming solo album ‘ASTROWORLD’, which also has not set release date as of now, and could potentially also drop as a surprise album.

In the meantime the rapper continues on his “Birds Eye View Tour” through July 9th, and will join Kendrick Lamar on the Compton rapper’s “DAMN. Tour” shortly after on July 12th.

Travis Scott Drops Three New Songs [PEEP]

travis-scott-am-gp-be

While on his “Birds Eye View Tour”, Travis Scott surprises fans with three new songs for them to get LIT to! The trio of songs is very exciting for the religious, balcony-jumping Scott follower, as it could be a sign that his forthcoming album ‘ASTROWORLD’ is coming sooner rather than later. All along the tour, La Flame has been promising fans that he will be unleashing new music and the promise has been kept.

On the first track, “A Man”, Scott pays his respects and praises the lord for all his blessings, while showing he’s grateful for all of his success. It is pretty consistent sounding with Scott’s style and reminiscent of his song “A Team”.

The second track “Green & Purple”, Travis unites with Playboi Carti for magnificent trippy turn-up song. Using full autotune effects, the Houston rapper cooks up a melodic hook, while Playboi ignites the track with some flavor of his own. Listen below.

The final song “Butterfly Effect” is the more mellow sounding song of the three. On it Scott spits rhymes about illicit drugs coated as candy. Listen below.

Neither of these songs are expected to land on Scott’s forthcoming ‘ASTROWORLD’ album, but there is a chance atleast one could. The rapper will continue on his “Birds Eye View Tour” until July 9th, before hitting the road with Kendrick Lamar for the “DAMN. Tour” starting July 12th.

The video was directed by Nabil, who co-directed Kendrick Lamar’s “DNA.” video.

“Love Galore” follows SZA’s “Drew Barrymore,” which was released in January. Along with the video, TDE has announced a partnership with RCA records for SZA’s debut album, ‘Ctrl’, expected to be released sometime this summer.

travis-scott-bitt-film

Travis Scott capitalizes on the success of ‘Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight’, with a short film inspired by the album titled, “Birds in the Trap.”

In collaboration with Apple Music, Scott reflects on life and death in the nearly 13-minute film directed by Fleur Fortune. The film begins with a near scuffle in the club, where his girl interferes and reprimands the rapper for his behavior. That prompts Travis to hop out the car and go his own way, which results in a tragedy.

Throughout the film music from the album is played. The album recently surpassed 1-million streams on Apple Music. Watch the film in its entirety HERE.

Travis is currently on his “Birds Eye View Tour” venture, which began March 10th in New Orleans. He is also prepping his next album ‘Astroworld’, which he recently described as his best work yet.
