Nearly five years after topping the Billboard 200 with his third solo studio album ‘AstroWorld,’ Hip-Hop hitmaker Travis Scott is ready to repeat with feat with its star-studded follow-up, ‘Utopia.’
The long-teased set – which features megastars like Beyoncé, Drake, Sampha, James Blake, Metro Boomin, Kanye West, The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, and more across its 19 tracks – arrives as a surprise drop despite promises to fans they would see some of its content performed live at the Pyramids of Giza (an endeavor rescheduled due to ‘complex production issues’).
Delivered ahead of ‘Circus Maximus,’ a film co-directed by Scott alongside Kahlil Joseph, Harmony Korine, Gaspar Noe, Nicolas Winding Refn, and Valdimar Jóhannsson, ‘Utopia’ comes as the rapper’s first full-length musical project since the tragic ‘AstroWorld’ festival that claimed multiple lives and caused injuries to several attendees in 2021. While Travis was never indicted on criminal charges for the incident, he is still facing multiple lawsuits.
