Could Travis Scott be dropping Utopia this month? Some seem to think that's the case. The rapper's producer, Mike Dean, has finally opened the mysterious Utopia briefcase. This has, of course, sparked much speculation among fans. Dean shared a photo on Instagram with the briefcase open, but the contents remained hidden from public view. He captioned the post with the question, "What's in the case? #musicforthefuture." Fans went wild with theories of release dates in the comments.
Fans eagerly speculated on the contents and predicted that the long-awaited Utopia would be released soon. Some commenters suggested that the album might drop at the end of the month, given Dean's act of opening the case. The excitement surrounding Utopia has been building up for quite some time. Epic Records CEO Sylvia Rhone confirmed in an interview with Billboard earlier this year that Travis Scott's fourth solo LP would be released in June. Whether or not that is set in stone remains to be seen. If it's accurate, that means we will be getting the album in the next few weeks.
Travis Has Revealed Very Little About The Album
Travis Scott has taken a very interesting route when it comes to promoting the new album. The brown briefcase, emblazoned with the album title, made appearances at the Cannes Film Festival in May. The Weeknd was later seen with it at the premiere of The Idol in France. This led fans to speculate that The Weeknd might be featured on the album. While Travis Scott has been tight-lipped about the album, he discussed the sound and concept of Utopia in an interview with PIN-UP magazine. He revealed that he used an MPC, particularly favoring the 2000XL, to create most of the album's distinctive and lively sound.
For Scott, Utopia is not just about living a perfect and extravagant life. It's a state of mind that individuals can create for themselves. He emphasized that utopia can be achieved by anyone. Wealth and material possessions don't matter, as long as the person finds contentment and fulfillment wherever they are. The album appears to be nearing completion, with mastering stages underway. In this stage, Mike Dean will likely play a significant role. Travis Scott recently even had a listening session of Utopia for the Houston Astros team before a game last month. This suggests that the album is in its final stages before release. Are you excited for Travis Scott's new album? Sound off in the comments to let us know!
