Travis Scott has really been feeding his fans these past few months… both literally and figuratively. After partnering with McDonald’s for the litty-est lunch in all the land with the Travis Scott Meal, the rapper brought his feature-packed rodeo back to wax with a new single on Friday. “FRANCHISE,” Scott’s latest track, hears the hip-hop superstar join forces with two of music’s most recognizable voices in M.I.A. and Young Thug. The dynamic team-up, while unexpected, proves Scott is a real franchise player and knows a thing or two about assembling the right musical team. And its video, directed by Scott and White Trash Tyler, sees the superstar do the unimaginable by prancing around Michael Jordan’s Chicago-area mansion; a concept big enough to land it in select IMAX theatres before showi...
It’s been a busy 2020 for Travis Scott. The rapper has collaborated with a number of artists — including Kanye West’s “Wash Us in Blood” — contributed another to Christopher Nolan’s Tenet and currently has a collaboration with McDonald’s that’s ongoing. But, Scott is releasing another new tune on Friday (Sept. 25) on Epic/Cactus Jack. Titled “Franchise,” the tune features cover art by artist George Condo. If it looks familiar, there’s a good reason why. You may best remember Condo for his work on West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and you can see what the artist has cooked up below.

Source: The Face / The Face It’s been a helluva week for Travis Scott. Source: The Face / The Face From linking up with Big Sean for the visuals to “Lithuania” to the drop of his highly anticipated McDonalds collaboration, La Flame’s been on his grizzly and to top off a productive week he’s now made the cover of The Face. Photographed by none other than David LaChapelle, Travis Scott graces the latest issue of The Face in which he talks about fatherhood, games, dogs, and of course, the social-political movement that’s been the topic of discussion for the past few months. “People are finally seeing the oppression that’s been happening and overlooked, and that we, as a culture, have been fighting through every day,” he says. “We got a voice to try to make change. Allow me to help i...
Cactus Jack and McDonald’s? You better believe it. For the first time since 1992 (and Michael Jordan, for that matter) a celebrity will be on the McDonald’s menu — and it’s none other than… Travis Scott. From Sept. 8 through Oct. 4, the Travis Scott meal (which will set you back $6) includes a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, bacon, and lettuce; a medium World Famous Fries with BBQ Sauce to dip, and a Sprite. The random tandem (which makes sense since this 2020 after all) will be supporting charitable organizations and creating custom swag during this run. “I couldn’t be more excited to bring the Cactus Jack x McDonald’s collaboration to life,” Scott said in a statement. “We are bringing together two iconic worlds. Including a charitable component was key for me, and I can’t wait for...

As spotted on Hype Beast Travis Scott and Kid Kudi will formally be joining creative forces for a full length album. In a recent interview for a GQ cover story the Houston, Texas native revealed that the project on the way. “I feel like I’ve learned so much,” he said. “I think with this next project I’m just embodying all of the knowledge I’ve taken in and trying to make the best form of it.” The two rappers share an interesting history as Travis Scott named himself after Kid Kudi who’s real name is Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi. They would first work together on “The Scotts” single that debut...
Source: Kevin Rawls / Radio One Digital Continuing the tradition of 2020 exposés, Travis Scott is in the hot seat after rap fans learned one of the biggest hits off ASTROWORLD wasn’t penned from his creative genius. Over the weekend, a Twitter user with low follower and tweet counts posted a very rough reference track snippet for “SICKO MODE,” Scott and Drake’s 2018 multi-platinum smash hit. The caption claimed G.O.O.D. Music artist and songwriter CyHi The Prynce “singlehandedly wrote most of Travis Scott’s hit songs off of Astroworld.” Soon after, another snippet posted for “Coffee Bean.” HipHop-N-More did a little digging on “SICKO MODE” in Tidal and found 30 artists and composers credited on the song, include CyHi under his real name, Cydel Young. Anyone following the breadc...

Source: Kevin Winter / Getty As we have been reminded time after time with more money come more problems. Travis Scott is being accused of musical thievery. Billboard Magazine is reporting that Cactus Jack is facing some legal issues stemming from one of his most popular songs. As per the report three musicians allege that he and his “Highest In The Room” collaborators stole their melody. They say his team pretended to be interested in working together with the plaintiffs but it was all a rouse to lift their distinct guitar rifts. On Tuesday, June 9 Olivier Bassil, Benjamin Lasnier and Lukas Benjamin Leth filed a lawsuit in federal court in California against Scott. Also named on the paperwork are the accompanying credited songwriters including Oz (Ozan Yildirim), Nik D (Nik Dejan Frascona...
Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Travis Scott has joined a growing number of celebrities who have used their platforms to address the current state of race relations in America. The Houston star threw his support behind protestors enraged by the murder of George Floyd and other Black lives that were unfairly lost in a recent Instagram post, albeit later than most would have preferred. From Scott’s Instagram page: As I pace around thinking, trying to find something to ease the pain…there are almost no words that I can think of to properly express, or I can use to suppress, this enraged feeling of us continuously losing our brothers and sisters to brutality at the hands of officers, or anyone with misguided intentions for our well-being. The rage that we are feeling is from direct personal experie...
