Travis Scott Announced As ComplexCon’s Artistic Director

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Complex recently announced that Travis Scott will have a much larger role for their ComplexCon in Las Vegas on November 16 and 17 than we originally thought. They already announced him and his Cactus Jack collective as headliners for Sunday (November 17), preceded by his good friends Playboi Carti, Opium, and Metro Boomin on Saturday (November 16). However, it turns out that La Flame is now the Artistic Director for the event as a whole, per a press release that details the moves below. He will curate the music, art, and streetwear extravaganza with his Cactus Jack brand, which will also bring exclusive merch designs and, more likely than not, sneaker drops and other collabs.

Not only that, but Travis Scott will bring “CactusCon” to life for Complex‘s event even when folks visiting the festival are chilling in their hotel. The Resort World will transform into “Cactus Jack Hotel,” and ComplexCon will also seemingly immerse itself into his universe. What’s more is that the Houston superstar has more accolades and achievements on the way. BET will honor him with the “I Am Hip-Hop” award at the 2024 BET Hip-Hop Awards, which will air very soon this month.

“Travis Scott is a visionary artist who continues to push the boundaries of music, culture, and live performance,” BET‘s Executive Vice President of specials, music programming, and music strategy, Connie Orlando, shared in a statement. “With his unmatched creativity and relentless passion, he has redefined what it means to be a captivating, inspiring entertainer within the hip hop genre. We look forward to celebrating him at BET Hip-Hop Awards 2024.” With all this in mind, it seems like Travis will close out another great year with a festival following his and Complex‘s vision, which is a fitting celebration.

Meanwhile, Travis Scott is also expanding his already huge resumé thanks to a modeling gig at a VETEMENTS fashion show for Paris Fashion Week. We wonder whether or not we will see him on the runway again in the future. Either way, there’s a lot coming up for Cactus Jack fans to celebrate and enjoy.

Travis Scott’s Label Accuses Billboard & Luminate Of Sabotaging Sabrina Carpenter Race

September 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The conspiracy theory that Sabrina Carpenter robbed Travis Scott of a No. 1 Billboard album chart debut just got even more contentious. Moreover, for those unaware, these artists had one of the closest sales races in recent memory, with Sabrina’s Short N’ Sweet beating our Travis’ re-released DAYS BEFORE RODEO by just about 1,000 units as of September 3’s final results. But a new Vulture article claims that the publication reportedly received a very interesting alleged letter sent from Scott’s label Cactus Jack to Billboard and Luminate, which is the company that tracks Billboard‘s weekly chart data. In it, Cactus Jack accused them of a “unreliable and incomplete” data tracking process that legitimately cost their artist a chart-topping debut.

However, the Cactus Jack brand claimed that they are “not reaching out as management for an upset artist” but rather as representatives of Travis Scott’s label and store. This is all a bit complicated and alleged, but we’ll try to sum up the gist of it under the unconfirmed assumption that this is what the supposed letter contains. Basically, Cactus Jack learned that “about 1,000 units” of DBR that came out as new digital deluxe editions on August 29 (the last tracking day) at 11:20 EST would not be reported this week, but rather in the next tracking week due to a delay. The label reportedly didn’t take issue with this since they were in the lead as of Saturday, August 31 by about 11,000 copies. But Carpenter took the lead by Sunday through independent retail sales.

Travis Scott & Sabrina Carpenter Sales Battle Is Still Under Scrutiny

Furthermore, the letter from Travis Scott’s label accuses Luminate and Billboard of weighting Sabrina’s indie record sales more heavily than regular album sales. According to them, this contrasted the decision to stop that particular weighting practice at the start of 2024 to ensure more accuracy. “It clearly bumped Sabrina’s final number of units just above Travis by almost the exact amount of units we erroneously ‘lost’ that would have counted toward week 1,” the letter reportedly reads. These units “comprised 1,291 actual units verified to have timestamps between 11:45–11:59pm” according to the letter. Cactus Jack claims that they tried to speak to Luminate about this before September 3.

Another alleged element is that this same situation happened to Travis Scott’s UTOPIA last year, but that they were able to count it that time around. As such, there’s a bit of a contentious discrepancy here according to the letter. Finally, the most scandalous claim from this letter is the accusation that the Luminate employee that Cactus Jack and Single tried to resolve this unit issue with is a former employee of Sabrina Carpenter’s label, Island Records. They think that this employee had a biased reason for Carpenter to get the No. 1 spot, and thus ignored or erroneously downplayed these numbers. The letter ends by asking Luminate “to give one final consideration” to this debacle. “We are confident that our numbers are correct in accordance with our processes and methodology,” a Luminate spokesperson reportedly expressed regarding this letter.

SoFaygo & Don Toliver Tag Team A Lil Tecca Beat With “Precision” In Cactus Jack Link-Up

July 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

SoFaygo might not be the biggest artist on the Cactus Jack label, but the fans sure adore him. Ever since he inked his deal, he has yet to work with Travis Scott and a majority of its counterparts. However, SoFaygo can say him and Don Toliver have solid chemistry, and we would agree they display that on their latest effort together, “Precision”. Also on this cut is New York hitmaker Lil Tecca, who is wearing his producer hat this time around. Him and the Grand Rapids, Michigan rapper are also frequent collaborators, with Tecca typically in control of the instrumentals only.

With SoFaygo steadily developing these connections over the years in the industry, it is no surprise to is that “Precision” slaps. Overall, we feel the beat is the biggest highlight, as Tecca brings an atmospheric and dark production with a slick drum pattern. It is hard-hitting right from the jump thanks to this looping tone in the background. To Faygo’s credit, he does bring a sticky chorus to the table. As for Don, some of his bars are little out there, but unhinged qualities they possess compliment that rage-like energy this single gives off. “Precision” does appear to be landing a project rumored to be called, WAR II: NEVER APOLOGIZE, but overall details seem to be a little up in the air.

Listen To “Precision” By SoFaygo & Don Toliver

Quotable Lyrics:

She said that she good, she a slut (Yeah, go)
D—D—Don’t believe it (Yeah, yeah), don’t believe it (Yeah, yeah)
Start the whip (Yeah, yeah), crank the Demon
Know I been gone for a while but, baby, I’m holding it down (Ah)
How could you copy the sound when Faygo got so many styles?
Okay, I been in my lane, I been in my own isle

SoFaygo Comes Through With Short But Sweet Banger “Life So Crazy”

June 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

SoFaygo is an artist who was signed to Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack imprint a couple of years ago. Overall, Cactus Jack has had a bit of an odd track record with artists. From Smokepurpp to Don Toliver to Sheck Wes, you can see that the hit rate isn’t consistent. However, SoFaygo was certainly a signing that made sense. The underground artist is known for making bangers and being heavy on the melodies. Having said that, SoFaygo has been consistent with his output, and on Friday, he gave us a new song called “Life So Crazy.”

With this latest track, SoFaygo continues to give us the sound that made him famous in the first place. From the trap production that is filled with energy, to the autotuned vocals, SoFaygo just makes you want to rage. The type of music that would be perfect to get the crowd amped during a Rolling Loud set. It’s another solid offering, and we’re sure fans are going to enjoy this one. Hopefully, we hear more very soon.

Be sure to let us know how you feel about this new SoFaygo track, in the comments section down below. How have you been liking his recent output? Do you feel like he has continued to put out solid material since signing to Cactus Jack? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

SoFaygo Is Grinding Away

Quotable Lyrics:

And you know my pockets, they stuck on grits
Five thousand for the kick, five thousand for the kick
And you know I do the fuckin’ magic like a witch
I can show you my tricks, I can show you my tricks (Yeah)

5 Things We Want From Don Toliver’s Next Album

May 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Don Toliver has announced that his forthcoming album Hardstone Psycho will be dropping on June 14. While there are very few details regarding the tracklist, features, and general content of the project, fans are already excited about a myriad of possibilities. Hardstone Psycho will serve as a follow-up effort to Don Toliver’s 2023 album Love Sick. While many fans appreciated Love Sick upon release, the album failed to leave a truly memorable mark on the hip hop world, meaning there’s a bit of pressure on Don to deliver a classic with Hardstone Psycho. Regardless, here are five things that fans would be overjoyed to see on Don Toliver’s new album this summer.

5. Features From Kali Uchis

Don Toliver and Kali Uchis have been a romantic item for over four years, which may surprise some fans. In fact, Kali recently gave birth to Toliver’s first child, linking the pair for the foreseeable future. Given that the couple share such a strong bond, it would only make sense to see Kali Uchis popping up in a few key placements on Don Toliver’s latest album. The couple have previously collaborated on songs such as “Fantasy,” “4 Me,” and “Drugs N Hella Melodies.”

The existing promotional material for Hardstone Psycho points to the project exhibiting themes of personal vulnerability combined with hard-edge trap bangers. Both of these musical styles seem like the perfect backdrop for the musical power couple, especially now that they share a child together.

4. A Few Festival Bangers

Like the other signees of Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack outfit, Don Toliver has made a name for himself off his festival appeal. The 29-year-old vocalist has garnered a reputation for delivering electrifying sounds that stir up crowds, and Hardstone Psycho‘s June release makes it ideal for a few Summer anthems. With any luck, Don Toliver’s upcoming album will have at least 2 or 3 contenders for song of the Summer, even if they do have to compete with smash hits like Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” or Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby.“

3. An Appearance From Travis Scott & Other Hip Hop Icons

As mentioned above, Don Toliver is famously signed to Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack imprint, and the pair have collaborated on numerous hit records. Travis holds front-and-center features on each of Don Toliver’s previous albums, making it something of a no-brainer for the Houston MCs to continue linking on Hardstone Psycho.

Don Toliver’s projects tend to be a bit feature-heavy, meaning there should be plenty of room for acts like James Blake, Nav, Sheck Wes, and other frequent collaborators to jump on the album as well. While Don has shown time and time again that he can carry a record without any assistance, fans would surely love to hear him showcasing his chemistry with a few of his industry friends.

2. Some Deep Emotionally Resonant Crooning

When Don Toliver announced that his forthcoming album would be titled Hardstone Psycho, many fans were a bit confused. After all, many listeners wouldn’t describe Toliver’s smooth, rhythmic vocals as “psychotic.” The confusion cleared up as Don began rolling out the project with several singles and visuals, including the recent track “Attitude.”

Apparently, the album is meant to serve as a tribute to Don Toliver’s late uncle, who served as a guiding force in Toliver’s life before passing away. His uncle was part of a motorcycle gang, hence the imagery and aesthetic used in the “Attitude” music video and subsequent album promo. If Don Toliver follows through on this premise, paying homage to his lost loved ones, we’re hoping to hear a few deep and emotional cuts on this album, dotted between the fast-paced party tracks.

1. A Tight, Concise Tracklist

While Don Toliver’s skills are certainly appreciated on albums such as Love Sick and Life Of A Don, these albums have been criticized for dragging out their runtime with unnecessary filler. In the modern streaming era, short concise tracklists loaded with non-stop hits tend to perform well, as they provide infinite replayability over time. With any luck, Hardstone Psycho will clock in at only 10-14 tracks, offering a perfect blend of laid-back chill vibes, festival bangers, and emotional deep cuts, without overstaying its welcome. No matter what Don Toliver delivers on his upcoming album, we’re sure that his core fanbase will be head over heels for the fresh release. The project has already produced a few hot singles, offering some real promise of the quality of the overall work. Hardstone Psycho drops June 14.

Kanye West & Travis Scott Preview New Collab, Their Kids Star In Sneaker Ad

May 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Today, Travis Scott took to Instagram to show off his new signature sneaker, the CJ1 T-Rexx. The shoes are currently listed on his website in two colorways, University Red and Dark Mocha, though neither are available for purchase. University Red is scheduled to drop on May 10, while Dark Mocha will be released “soon.” They’ll come in sizes for the whole family, with adult, toddler, and preschool variations listed on the site.

To celebrate the family-inclusive drop, Travis shared a video of him and Kylie Jenner’s children Stormi and Aire modeling the shoes. Two of Kanye West’s children with Kim Kardashian, Chicago and Psalm, are also featured in the video. “THE FAM FOR THE JACKS,” he captioned the post.

Travis Scott & Ye’s Children Model New Cactus Jack Sneakers

Travis also shared a post alongside Ye himself, hinting that they have a new collaboration on the way. “YE AND THE JACK,” he captioned a cinematic clip of Kanye, leaving plenty of questions to be answered. It remains unclear exactly what the collab is, but fans are hoping it means the duo has new music on the way. Some even speculate that it could be a full joint album, though this may just be wishful thinking.

After all, Ye fans are still waiting on his collaborative album with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures 2, which was previously expected to drop earlier this month. According to Ty, the project could be dropping “any day now.” Unfortunately, the specifics are still up in the air

Travis Scott’s Rolling Loud Air Jordans Up For Auction

December 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A pair of custom Cactus Jack Air Jordans that Travis Scott gave to a fan at Rolling Loud Germany have been put up for auction. Scott gifted the Egyptian fan the shoes after bringing the man up on stage. It was one of several impromptu clothing giveaways Scott did in his pre-Utopia festival circuit. The shoes are being sold through Goldin’s and are expected to go for around $10,000. “In an iconic moment in pop culture history, we’re excited to see these sneakers hit the auction block. As a sneakerhead myself, it’s great to offer a rare opportunity for other collectors to own a custom pair of Air Jordans” auction owner Ken Goldin told TMZ.

As mentioned, it wasn’t the first time that Scott gave away his shoes over the summer. Earlier in July, at Longitude Festival in Dublin, Scott got up close and personal with the throbbing mass of fans at the barricade. Picking out one fan in particular, Scott began to rap back and forth with the fan, who eagerly responded. The back-and-forth continued, with Scott getting more and more hyped up about the interaction. When the verse ended, Scott pulled off his shirt, an unreleased Utopia merch item, as well as his Air Jordans. Fighting back the sea of grabbing hands, Scott handed the items to the fan he had rapped with.

However, Scott’s custom Air Jordans are just the latest famous lot Goldin has handled. A jersey worn by Travis Kelce during a 2019 NFL game in Mexico City has been sold at auction for $37K. “This is an all-time record for a Travis Kelce game-used item. He has always been popular but the success of the Chiefs, as well as the publicity he’s gotten around his relationship with Taylor Swift, has added to his popularity and awareness among collectors,” Goldin Auctions owner Ken Goldin told TMZ.

The news came after Swift spoke at length about her relationship with Kelce in her interview with TIME after being named the magazine’s Person of the Year. “This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell. We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew. Which, I’m grateful for because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date,” Swift said.
