Travis Scott’s been lowkey in the public eye over the past year and a half. Following the Astroworld Festival tragedy, the rapper’s kept his head down as he works on his next album. Scott’s continuously teased the release of Utopia for a minute now, unveiling singles like “Franchise” to build up the anticipation. However, there have been promising updates in recent times, including one from Epic Records CEO who said the project would drop in June.
Scott hasn’t confirmed the release date but he promised fans the album would arrive soon. He recently said that it would conclude an epic run from the Cactus Jack roster. During a recent performance, he said that fans should expect a new EP from SoFaygo before the release of Utopia. Kicking off the Cactus Jack 2023 releases is Don Toliver who just released Love Sick on Friday and its deluxe on Tuesday – Scott appears on the bonus single “Embarrassed,” produced by Wheezy. Shortly after, Scott appeared at Toliver’s New York City performance, though it looks like things went sideways at some point in the evening.
