Essential Albums
- 100 Best Albums Travis Scott sent a message to Apple Music about his third album, playfully attributed to Stormi, his infant daughter: “Just BUCKLE UP”. Stormi can’t speak yet, presumably, but the sentiment still rings true for a record named after a closed amusement park in his native Texas. ASTROWORLD delivers its twists and turns via some of Scott’s most personal lyrics yet, unexpected musical arrangements, and a diverse guest list. “SICKO MODE” features multiple beat changes and Drake halted mid-verse, playing like some kind of funhouse trip. Other sideshows include Stevie Wonder playing harmonica, James Blake crooning, The Weeknd emoting and Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker shredding—but the main attraction is still Scott's life. On album closer “COFFEE BEAN”, Scott tells an unnamed lover, “Your family told you I'm a bad move... plus I'm already a black dude”. At 17 tracks, ASTROWORLD is like any great theme park: there’s just so much to see.
- On his second album, Travis Scott is flying free, enjoying the spoils of fame and spotting the pitfalls. Sharp storytelling and warm synths give Birds a surreal, cinematic feel. He brings street anthems in bunches (“way back”, “coordinate”, “through the late night”) and his confidence beams on the intimate “first take” and “guidance”, a Latin-tinged R&B track à la “One Dance”. If Rodeo showed that Travis Scott is comfortable colouring outside hip-hop's lines, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight shows he’s capable of creating a masterpiece.

About Travis Scott
Travis Scott has helped define the sound and feel of 2010s rap, imbuing tough, surrealistic trap with a distinctly pop appeal. Raised in the suburbs of Houston, Scott (born Jacques Berman Webster II in 1992) first made noise as an in-house producer for Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music, working on the 2012 label showcase Cruel Summer and 2013’s Yeezus, which arrived mere weeks after he dropped his debut mixtape, Owl Pharaoh. He went on to bring his gothic-edged sound to Drake, Migos, Madonna and Rihanna (“Bitch Better Have My Money”), while his own solo albums—2015’s Rodeo and 2016’s Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight—playfully drew the commercial center of rap toward the avant-garde. Take 2018’s ASTROWORLD, a swirling, almost psychedelic set that not only managed to pull together Quavo, John Mayer, Tame Impala and Sheck Wes on the same album, but also had them gel—a testament to Scott’s vision as an artist and superlative curator. He would do it again on 2023's Utopia, which brought Beyoncé, Drake, The Weeknd, James Blake, Future, and Dave Chappelle into the fold.
