Although the 2020 coronavirus pandemic has changed the way fans consume live music, Travis Scott still plans on seeing through his plans to bring the Astroworld Festival back to his hometown in 2021. The Houston rapper revealed as much to director Robert Rodriguez in an interview published on Vice.
In response to Rodriguez’s question about his post-pandemic plans for the festival, Travis confirmed, “Hopefully, we can bring it back at the end of this year. Around November.” While that may be the most optimistic outlook for the festival’s return, it’s in-line with Dr. Anthony Fauci’s prediction that some venues will be able to re-open in the fall, provided the vaccine rollout goes well enough to lower the levels of infection nationwide.
Unfortunately, despite the 2018 and 2019 festivals selling out and going well for Travis, the 2020 edition of the festival had to be canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Travis also explained the effect that becoming a father has had on his art, saying, “Fatherhood influences my job. It has a huge impact. It’s a major inspiration… Storm, she’s just acting like a kid. She’s always interested, she catches on and learns things and adapts to things so fast. It’s so crazy, Stormi’s generation is way different from mine, and she’s way different from my younger brother and sister. Kids show you a different outlook on life, how they view things, the type of pressures they have and what makes them happy, what makes them move… You’ve got to use that properly.”

While 2021 has already presented plenty of new challenges, hardly the blank-slate reset from 2020 that so many had vainly hoped for, it has not been without the occasional glimmer of silver lining. Especially in the hip-hop world, where several beloved rappers were either released or prematurely pardoned from extended prison stints.
Today marked the return of Bobby Shmurda, who served a six-year bid and hit the ground running earlier this morning. And while New York rapper Rowdy Rebel was technically released in December of 2020, he has wasted little time re-establishing his presence in the early months of the new year. Lastly, Kodak Black caught a Presidential pardon from Donald Trump, a move that did not go unappreciated by the Floridian rapper. Suffice it to say, there’s ample reason to expect plenty of new music from artists who were forced to sit things out for an extended period — and 21 Savage is certainly excited to see how it plays out.
The Savage Mode 2 rapper took to Twitter to celebrate the influx of free rappers. “Rowdy Kodak and Bobby back 2021 starting off perfect,” he writes, alongside a slew of knives and devil. Naturally, Savage’s excitement immediately sparked speculation that he’d be reaching out to collaborate, so be sure to keep an eye out on the inevitable studio link-ups to follow. In other news, Savage also opened the floor to fan requests, inquiring as to which musical direction he should explore this year — unsurprisingly, Without Warning 2 with Offset and Metro Boomin was a popular choice, despite the fact it allegedly does not exist.

Drakeo The Ruler’s fortunes have changed a whole lot in a very short amount of time. After spending much of 2018, 2019, and 2020 in prison awaiting trial on gang charges, Drakeo was released in November, then released his mixtape We Know The Truth to general acclaim. Now, he’s secured the biggest look of his career to date, collaborating with Drake on “Talk To Me” from his upcoming album The Truth Hurts, due later tonight/first thing tomorrow morning.
On “Talk To Me,” Drake provides the hooks while Drakeo — yes, this as confusing to type as it is to read — raps, with both addressing the song’s theme of infatuation with a woman. There’s also some light tough talk, as Drake warns the potential love interest that he and his crew might have to get gully in the club. “We might slide on a n**** inside this club, girl, close your eyes,” he croons, somewhat paradoxically. Meanwhile, Drakeo plays aloof, reminding his sex buddy that “You can’t control me, why you acting like the police?”
Premiering the song on Apple Radio, Drakeo told Zane Lowe, “When I was in jail, I was supposed to do something [with Drake] already,” explaining how he actually forgot the song was in the works before he was arrested. “It was kind of crazy to me,” he observed. “I never thought none of this stuff would happen.”

The Truth Hurts is due at midnight ET.
DaBaby clearly has no fear of getting sued. The rapper kinda has a reputation for his IDGAF attitude and often confrontational reaction in heated situations. According to Variety, the owner of Runyan Canyon vacation home has filed a lawsuit against DaBaby on claims that the MC assaulted him during an unauthorized video shoot at the home.
Gary Pagar claims that DaBaby violated COVID-19 conditions when renting the home. Pagar said that only 12 people would be allowed on the property but alleged the rapper had roughly 40 individuals gathered for the music video shoot. Pagar said that he attempted to shut down the situation before he was knocked to the ground. DaBaby allegedly hopped out of his vehicle and chased Pagar into the home. Pagar said DaBaby told him not to call the police before sucker-punching him in the mouth and knocking a tooth out.
“Mr. Kirk appears to think he’s a real tough guy,” the lawsuit states. “Mr. Kirk is wrong.”
The 64-year-old plaintiff said that DaBaby and the company that was with him took “valuable kitchenware” along with Pagar’s phone that was allegedly tossed back-and-forth as the plaintiff was on the ground. Pagar also accused DaBaby and his associates of removing the security camera in order to conceal the video shoot.
In the suit, which also lists Kinsza Virgil, DaBaby’s manager, as a defendant, said that the terms of the leases restricted the renter from using it for commercial purposes.
