He could give us "JACKBOYS 2" or his tour recordings, we are ready for either.

Travis Scott's new album UTOPIA had fans juiced to hear him again after a near five-year hiatus. All that time amounted to him experimenting with his signature psychedelic sound to many rave reviews from fans and a fair number of critics. He went on to sell hundreds of thousands of copies, merch, and put on a successful Circus Maximus Tour without any hitches. Songs like " I KNOW ?," "FE!N," "TELEKINESIS," and others are still burning for fans about seven months later. However, after all those incredible accomplishments, it still was not enough for Travis to nab his first GRAMMY award. UTOPIA would go on to lose Best Rap Album to Killer Mike's MICHAEL in a crushing but respectable fashion.

Even before that source of motivation to bring something even better, Travis had already begun working on new music. During his stops across the U.S., the Houston multi-hyphenate shared photos of him recording backstage. "B4 every show," "Boston im trynna record back here," and "R u in my brain or what ????" Those were the few indications we got from him about a new album in the works.

Travis Scott Is Hungry To Get Back At It

Now, we have more coming from La Flame by way of IG Stories. Just hours ago, Scott said, "I love music so f*****g much. And for the record. We will [be] backkkkkk. I gotta kick [into] a new gear since they think it's play time." He also added, "Whole cactus gang are snappers." Could this be a hint at a JACKBOYS 2 tape? Trav did follow up the latter of messages with him vibing to "You" off Don Toliver's Life of a DON. That is as much as we know right now, but hopefully we get that exciting confirmation of a new LP for this year sometime soon.
