Travis Scott Gives Details On His Upcoming Album, ‘Utopia’
Travis Scott fans can start rejoicing—the rapper/producer has shared updates on his forthcoming fourth studio album, ‘Utopia.’
In a conversation with film director Robert Rodriguez for i-D magazine, the rapper dished on what fans can look forward to. “I never tell people this, and I’m probably going to keep it a secret still, but I’m working with some new people and I’m just trying to expand the sound,” Scott said. “I’ve been making beats again, rapping on my own beats, just putting everything together and trying to grow it really. That’s been one of the most fun things about working on this album. I’m evolving, collaborating with new people, delivering a whole new sound, a whole new range.”
‘Utopia’ is slated for a 2021 release.
