    Today, globally-recognised GRAMMY-winning superstar Burna Boy shares an exciting new single from his forthcoming album, ‘No Signs of Weakness’. On the hot track produced by Chillz Chilleaux, the Port Harcourt legend playfully (and critically) sings about something that could kill a man (and happens to be meaty “ass” or “nyash” according to the lyrics). Adding more flames to the hotboy fire, America’s globally influential superstar Travis Scott ends his verse by assuring his audience that only baddies could accompany him in one of his luxury cars or his presence. The record also famously samples Scott at a live event, from a clip that has gone viral as far back as three months ago.

  • Watch Travis Scott’s latest music video ‘4X4’

    For the Gabriel Moses treatment, Travis Scott gets creative from its beginning by recreating the classic Columbia studio logo — replacing the “Columbia Lady” with a Black woman (Alek Wek, 47, South Sudanese-British) and using his logo instead of theirs (“Columbia”).

    Eight days ago, American superstar rapper and rager Travis Scott released a celebratory music video for his latest track, ‘4X4’. The video presents a surreal and chaotic vision of Houston, Texas, featuring intense scenes such as oversised car chases on highways, an electrifying rodeo, and the American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer dominating a WWE ring. The city itself becomes a character, reflecting the energy of the track. The music video has been praised for its cinematic quality and dynamic visuals, which complement the high-energy performance by the globally recognised artist. Check out the video below to see the global superstar in his element as he performs the song with an entire band. Tay Keith produced the track and supermodel Alek Wek appears in the picture twice, showcasing her sun-kissed skin.

    Celebrated for its transformative impact on Hip-Hop, ‘Days Before Rodeo’ is now the highest-selling Rap album of 2024, and marks Travis Scott’s highest-selling vinyl release of his career, in Rap history, and sixth across all genres since 1991.

    ‘Days Before Rodeo’ was re-released on all digital streaming platforms for the first time on August 23 to celebrate its tenth anniversary and a decade of groundbreaking influence. It debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 on September 7 with 361,000 units. In its fourth week of release, the album jumped to #1 after its vinyl editions shipped to customers who had pre-ordered the album before its release, eventually earning 156,000 equivalent album units in the United States week ending September 19 (up 1,295%).

    ‘Days Before Rodeo’ marks Scott’s fourth consecutive #1 previously topping the charts with ‘Utopia’ (2023), ‘Astroworld’ (2018), and ‘Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight’ (2016).

    This seminal project heralded a new era of sonic innovation and played a crucial role in shaping today’s music and culture. Travis originally released ‘Days Before Rodeo’ in 2014 as his second mixtape, almost a full year before his debut album ‘Rodeo’ arrived. Featuring an impressive lineup of guest appearances from Young Thug, Big Sean, The 1975, Rich Homie Quan, Migos, TI, and Peewee Longway, the mixtape introduced a new era of Progressive Trap production that contributed to the genesis of some of today’s most influential artists, including Young Thug, Metro Boomin, and Migos. The project stands as a testament to Scott’s visionary approach, marking a monumental moment in music.

    Tracks like ‘Mamacita’ featuring Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug, and ‘Don’t Play’ featuring Big Sean and The 1975, underscore the mixtape’s impact, blending moody production with dynamic collaborations that captivated both fans and critics. The gritty production, crafted by Metro Boomin, Lex Luger, FKi, Wondagurl, and Travis Scott himself, set a new tone for Hip-Hop and played a pivotal role in shaping its direction in today’s culture. The re-release of ‘Days Before Rodeo’, offers both longtime fans and new listeners worldwide the chance to experience a project that has profoundly influenced the music industry. Hailed as one of the best mixtapes of the 2010s, ‘Days Before Rodeo’ was instrumental in redefining the sonic landscape of hip-hop, amplifying Travis Scott’s enduring legacy and trailblazing contributions to music.
