Source: Travis Scott / Sony Travis Scott and his creative, strategic partnership with PlayStation are beginning to take shape, and it’s lit. While the world was trying to frantically secure a PS5 console, Travis Scott was in the desert unboxing the PS5 in a surprise event that literally put all the typical console unboxing events to shame.

Per a press release: “From the mind of hip-hop’s iconic auteur comes “A Travis Scott + Cactus Jack Experience – PS5: Unboxing Reimagined,” a dimension-bending visual and audio journey that celebrates the intersection of gaming, music, and culture.” That’s not all that happened either.

While the world continues to struggle with the spread of the Coronavirus and countries and cities continue to lockdown all over, Travis Scott has announced that his Astroworld Festival WILL return in 2021. Taking to Twitter to announce the news on their official Astroworld account, the festival’s organizers had a simple message for Scott’s horde of fans saying, “”THE PARTY NEVER ENDS… See you next year… at Astrofest can’t wait to turn the f*ck up! – T…. [Stay safe].” Um, okay. While we don’t have any word on how they plan to throw the festivities and whether or not masks will be mandatory (Texas just became the epicenter of the COVID-...

Travis Scott Is the Brand to Collaborate With in 2020
In a year that has stilted the release of massive albums and halted the live music industry, Travis Scott is one of the few musicians who seems to be doing better than what he was before — if that’s even possible. At the end of October, he was named as a strategic partner for PlayStation before the release of their latest console, the PlayStation 5. In September, he received his own meal at McDonald’s, becoming the first celebrity to do so since Michael Jordan in 1992. Scott’s ongoing success stems from his music — but in his latest, pandemic-influenced chapter, he’s collaborating with massive companies to touch pop culture in ways his songs probably can’t. He’s becoming an even bigger household name mid-pandemic, at a time when artists are struggling. But the situation is a lit...

Why does this man play with out feelings like this?! While these could easily be a pair of custom kicks that Scott had made for this particular commercial, PlayStation does have a history of collaborating with Nike on super exclusive sneakers few ever get their hands on. Even Travis himself has more than a handful of f...
Travis Scott May Be Looking for EDM Collaborators
One of the biggest artists in hip-hop could be looking to test the waters of the electronic music scene. Travis Scott took to social media today, October 5th, to address the DJs of the Twittersphere. The prolific “Antidote” rapper, who has racked up seven Grammy Award nominations before the age of 30, could very well be trying to swerve into the EDM lane after urging DJs to look out for something from him in their inboxes. “DJs Just keep Checking ur mailbox,” he wrote. “Got something on the way in the mail for ya.” While the usage of the term “DJs” is nebulous here, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that the word is perpetually conflated with the EDM world. And, considering Scott’s prevalence in the electronic mus...
J Balvin Launches Latest Musician-Backed McDonald’s Meal
After the massive success of McDonald’s Travis Scott Meal, it’s only fair that other musicians hopped on board for the McMadness. For the company’s second musician-backed partnership, Reggaeton artist J Balvin announced Monday that he’s got his own meal making its way to stores. And it’s pretty sweet. The “J Balvin” will feature a Big Mac, medium fries and his own personal favorite OREO McFlurry. Balvin’s meal is available until Nov. 1, and those who purchase via the McDonald’s App can get the McFlurry for free by selecting the offer. Balvin also has some merch in store for McDonald’s employees, as he custom-designed some new T-shirts they can rock behind the counter. But there likely won’t be any McNugget body pillows this time. Balvin may have a Big Mac in his name, but this isn’t e...
HHW Gaming: Travis Scott Accused of Jacking Controller Design, Slapped With Lawsuit
Source: Jerritt Clark / Getty The leader of the JACKBOYS is being accused of jacking a video game company’s controller design. It’s not lit if this is indeed true. Page Six is reporting that Travis Scott and Cactus Jack were slapped with a lawsuit by KontrolFreek. The company claims they approached the rapper to design branded gaming merchandise as part of a tie-in to his record-breaking Fortnite virtual performances that saw 12 million fans log into the game to watch. While nothing materialized between Scott and KontrolFreek, the company claims that the “Sicko Mode” rapper went ahead and jacked the company’s copyright-protected designs and even sold a low-quality controller. Per Page Six: “KontrolFreek makes high-performance thumbsticks (translation for non-gamers: those joysticks you ope...
Travis Scott Visits Michael Jordan’s Crib In His Latest Visuals To “FRANCHISE”
Source: Vevo / Youtube While heads are out here trying to win one of those five limited edition Travis Scott McDonalds figures (why all his stuff gotta be limited though?), La Flame continues to do what he does best: music. Premiering at IMAX theaters ahead of showings for Christopher Nolan’s TENET, Travis Scott’s visuals for “FRANCHISE” was shot on location at Michael Jordan’s glorious Chicago estate and features Cactus Jack, Young Thug and M.I.A playing golf, flaunting cars, and enjoying some pool action at the G.O.A.T.’s private property. Well, Travis and Thug were living it up anyway. M.I.A. was somewhere where the sheep roam free and the flowers are made into garments. We’re lowkey disappointed we didn’t get a look at MJ’s sneaker closet. Y’all know Mike must have all kinds of heat we...
