Scott’s “Rodeo” was released on Sept 4, 2015.

Artist: Travis Scott
Album: Rodeo
Genre: Hip hop
Label: Grand Hustle/Epic
Release date: Sept 4, 2015

Travis Scott’s debut album Rodeo has made noise all across the globe, placing third on the Billboard Top 200, second on US Top R&B/Hip Hop albums, and first on US Top Rap albums, making this a rather successful debut for Scott.

Rodeo has a lot of collaborations with other major artists such as Justin Bieber, 2 Chainz, Chief Keef, Kanye West, Young Thug, Future, The Weeknd and many more. All these collaborations really made the album even more popular. Scott manages to grab a handful of big name producers also for this project from Kanye West to Metro Boomin.

Scott makes Rodeo a legit rodeo with each song that plays. The highlight of the album is “Maria I’m Drunk, featuring Justin Bieber and Young Thug. Bieber is able to find the perfect mix between rapping and singing. At the same time he doesn’t fail to disappoint with his rapping ability. The other major songs on the album, 3500 and Antidoteare both songs with amazing production and “3500” boasts with big features from Future and 2 Chainz.

Scott also has a great song named Pray For Love with the dark R&B/Pop artist The Weeknd. He ends his album with Apple Pie, the first time on the album you ever actually hear him speak anything about his legacy.

This leads to a really good question: Will Scott be able to cement a legacy?

Rodeo is wild, reckless, and somewhat like a listening rodeo. Personally, I’d recommend it to any hip hop fan or anyone curious about this “new school” of rap. You can find it on iTunes, Google Play Music, or any music streaming website or app.
