While Scott said these "Vault" tracks are from the DBR era, "Houdini (WHOUDINI)" is actually an "ASTROWORLD" throwaway.

Travis Scott is pulling off another impressive feat with his 2014 mixtape, DAYS BEFORE RODEO. La Flame is looking like he's going to move around 217,000 copies of his 10-year-old project, outselling brand-new efforts from other artists. Just like in 2018 with ASTROWORLD, he's trying to outpace another massive female artist in sales by dropping off tons of bundles. Last night, the Houston, Texas powerhouse dropped off five new editions. Three of them included two new "Vault" tracks apiece, with the other two being "Chopped N' Screwed" and "Live From Atlanta" renditions.

"Vault 2" saw Travis Scott include "Hold On" with Quavo and Young Thug and "Respected". For number three, fans were treated to "Naughty" and "Too Many Options with another Thugger appearance. Finally, "Vault 4" will probably go down as the most treasured of these three because it contains "Quintana Pt. 2 (Mike Dean Outro)" and "Houdini (WHOUDINI)" with Playboi Carti, according to NFR Podcast. If you want to get your hand on either one, especially the latter, you unfortunately cannot.

Fans Have Been Waiting For Travis Scott To Drop "Houdini"

They were available last night only for $4.99 each. However, "Houdini" is a track that's been floating around the internet for years. A lot of Travis die-hards either have it on their Soundcloud or have a local file of some sort. Additionally, a fan account by the name of Sullyy is sharing the "Vault" tracks on his YouTube, which you can find above. When Scott announced the initial deluxe last week, he said the bonus cuts would be from the DBR era. However, these new bonus songs seem to be pulling from all over his career. "Houdini" was originally a hopeful inclusion for ASTROWORLD, making it a 2017-2018 recording. However, it never made the cut. Now, though, its officially out and fans are ecstatic.
