In 2020, Kid Cudi and Travis Scott linked up as The Scotts to release a single of the same name, which ended up topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Since then, fans have been yearning for more, and the future of the duo is somewhat unclear. In late 2022, Cudi said “the moment has passed” for a full collaborative album, but in 2023, he declared a joint album is “def happening at some point.” Well, it looks like “some point” has now arrived, with a heavy emphasis on “looks like.”

Yesterday (March 26), a new album called Webster II (stylized as W E B S T E R I I) popped up on Apple Music (it’s still there as of this post), credited to Jackboys (Scott’s collective) and The Scotts. The 16-track project is a hair over an hour long. However, there are some indicators that this isn’t a legitimate project.

Neither Cudi nor Scott have promoted it at all on social media or elsewhere. Also worth noting is that the way the project is credited on Apple Music is different than how the song “The Scotts” is: The album is attributed to Jackboys and The Scotts, while the single is credited to The Scotts, Travis Scott, and Kid Cudi. However, the definitive proof, as one X (formerly Twitter) user correctly pointed out, is that Webster II is just an unauthorized upload of 4th Dimension, a fan-made Travis Scott album that was created with AI tools and released in 2023.

Check out some reactions to Webster II below.

Travis Scott‘s fourth studio album Utopia has the internet abuzz. As Scott is guaranteed to do with any project of his, he brought in a promising list of collaborators on this new album, notably SZA, 21 Savage, and the one and only Beyoncé. But also, fans have been eager for another Kid Cudi collab from Scott, and he delivered on this with the Utopia cut, “Looove.”

“Looove” has become an instant fan favorite, with fans asking if a Cudi and Scott joint album could be a possibility in the future.

Yesterday, Cudi took to Twitter to answer questions from a few fans, including one who said they “needed” the joint album.

“Its def happening at some point,” Cudi responded. “Dont even trip.”

But don’t expect it anytime soon. All good work takes time, and Cudi says he and Scott plan to take their time on this collaborative effort.

“I wanna create a ton of songs and pick the tastiest ones and really make it a moment for the culture,” Cudi said. “We only get 1 first album, its gotta be the illest. For now, UTOPIA.”

Still, fans are excited to learn that Scott and Cudi’s joint album, which they have nicknamed The Scotts, may actually see the light of day. Last December, Cudi ruled out the possibility of a joint album with Scott, saying “The moment has passed.”

During his brief bout on Twitter yesterday, Cudi clarified what he meant, saying, “Me and Trav hadn’t talked about it since the single [2020’s ‘The Scotts’] so years passed and I figured it wasnt happening. And im someone who likes to work when the moment is right and I felt like the moment passed. But then Trav said something publically so I was like well shit I guess we doin it ha…”

Utopia is out now via Epic Records and Cactus Jack. Find more information here.

Kid Cudi Says Maybe To “The Scotts” Album

Kid Cudi is a staple of the rap game and it’s no debate. From creating one of the best album series to date with Man On The Moon to doing collab albums with one of the greats, the dude’s resume is stacked. Moreover, Cudi has ushered in so many new waves and sounds when it comes to making music. Nobody belts out a good hum like Kid Cudi. Not only that, Cudder has influenced a ton of your favorite artists today.

Artists such as Playboi Carti (still need Pissy Pamper), Schoolboy Q, and Travis Scott have sung Kid Cudi’s praises musically. Many have attested that his influence is directly in their music. The vulnerability and honesty within Cud’s discography are what draw many to his music to this day. Schoolboy Q said in an interview that it was Kid Cudi that “broke the barrier for weird people like me.” Not only that, a lot of artists have been influenced by the Indicud rhymer that they’ve even made songs with him.

Kid Cudi Might Be Down For A Travis Scott Collab Tape

Furthermore, Kid Cudi’s feature run is one of the elites (go listen to “Remote Control Part 2”). The Cleveland native’s influence runs deep throughout the rap game. From the Trippie Redds of the world to the Travis Scott’s there’s always a piece of Kid Cudi somewhere. Recently, Cudder has been busy acting, doing shows, and even writing an autobiography. However, it appears the rap icon will be adding more to his already full plate.

On stage at a show, Kid Cudi asked the fans if they were still down for a collaboration tape with Travis Scott. He asked, “How bad do y’all want The Scotts album?” Cudi finished his statement with a simple, “Maybe, maybe.” While the announcement isn’t fully a confirmed yes, it’s still exciting to know the project might still be on the table. The last time these two got together was during heat of the pandemic with there single “The Scotts.” After three years, Scott Mescudi (Kid Cudi) is entertaining the idea of cooking up with La Flame once more. Let us know what you think of the possible The Scotts album dropping below!

Kid Cudi Shuts Down Travis Scott Album Collab but Leaves Door Open for Future Opportunities

Kid Cudi and Travis Scott will not be releasing an album, Kid Cudi has confirmed, much to the dismay of fans.

On Wednesday, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, got on Twitter to answer fan questions. One of the questions was whether or not a rumored “The Scotts” (referring to Travis Scott and Cudi’s real name) album would be happening.

In response to the fan question, Cudi answered: “Naw im not doin that. The moment has passed.”

The news was met with sad reactions from fans who posted a series of sad memes and gifs.

However, Cudi, who worked with Scott on numerous projects including songs on Cudi’s 2018 LP Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’ and Scott’s Astroworld and Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight as well as a 2020 song “The Scotts,” did not rule out future collabs, replying “most def” when asked if they might ever collab on a song together.

Kudi did not address questions such as whether or not Kanye West ever apologized to him or other questions about his personal life and rumored celebrity beefs.

Earlier this year, Cudi contemplated a post-music career of possibly becoming a kindergarten teacher.

As Travis Scott has been slated to headline a series of Rolling Loud festivals, perhaps a surprise appearance by Cudi would appease fans?

Kid Cudi Says Travis Scott Collab Project Isn’t Happening: “The Moment Has Passed”

If you’ve anticipated a joint project from Kid Cudi and Travis Scott, then we’re sorry to inform you that it won’t be happening any time soon.

During a recent Q&A on Twitter, a fan asked Cudi if The Scotts was “still on the cards.” Cudi simply stated that it wasn’t going to happen, though he didn’t explain why. “Naw im not doin that. The moment has passed,” he wrote.

Travis never shied away from giving Cudder his flowers as one of his biggest inspirations, so it’s unclear what transpired that put a halt to their joint effort. The two previously released the single, “The Scotts” in 2021 which earned serious praise across the board.

Elsewhere in the Twitter Q&A, a fan also asked if Kid Cudi would work alongside Tyler, The Creator or The Weeknd in the future. He appears to be down but he suggested that they haven’t necessarily been responsive in the past to his requests.

“I think the question is would they ever work w me? And i doubt it, especially tyler. Believe me I’ve asked,” he said. “Abel’s the homie tho but I think that ship has sailed. Its all good!!”

Similarly, he said that a collab with Frank Ocean likely won’t happen in the near future. It isn’t all that surprising since Frank recently hinted at retiring from music altogether.

“Frank is the homie too but I doubt we’ll do something. Some things just arnt gonna happen guys its ok!” he wrote.

However, it looks like we might be able to get a record with Kid Cudi and Logic in the future. After a fan asked if Cudi would work with the Frank Sinatra artist after bringing him on tour, the Cleveland rapper said that it was something he was definitely down to do. He also said that he’s going to work on more music with Jaden Smith in the future.

Aside from music, Kid Cudi debuted his first feature on Netflix, Entergalactic in September to critical acclaim. During the Q&A, he said that he has other animated projects in the works.

Kid Cudi Says His Collaboration Album With Travis Scott Isn’t Happening Anymore: ‘The Moment Has Passed’

Kid Cudi has given us a wide range of projects over the past year. Back in March, he starred in the A24 horror film, X. In September, he released his 10th studio album, Entergalactic, which was accompanied by an animated movie on Netflix.

Though Cudi has teased that we can expect one more album out of him, it’s safe to assume it probably won’t be the much-anticipated collaborative album with Travis Scott.

Back in 2020, Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, released a song with Travis Scott called “The Scotts,” which was also said to be the title of an upcoming collaborative project between the two.

The song, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, proved to be a hit, however, Cudi revealed that the planned project has since been scrapped.

This morning on Twitter, a fan asked Cudi, “Is The Scotts album still on the cards?”

Cudi replied, saying, “Naw im not doin that. The moment has passed.”

Though the album may no longer see the light of day, Cudi said he is still down to record one-off collaborative singles with Scott in the future.

Cudi also revealed that we won’t be getting a sequel to Entergalactic, however, he has some other animated projects in the works.

“my next project im workin on is gonna f*ck u up in the best ways too,” he said.
