On September 2nd, 2016, Travis Scott dropped possibly his best studio album to date called 'Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight' through his label Grand Hustle. Travis features 13 artists on his album, including big names like, Kid Cudi, 21 Savage, Kendrick Lamar, Bryson Tiller, Young Thug, and The Weeknd. Only a week old today, I could easily see this album going platinum come later this year. After his debut album 'Rodeo', I was very disappointed and wasn't actually planning on buying his sophomore album, but after a few listens, I instantly changed my mind. I found 'Rodeo' very underwhelming and didn't live up to the hype. Travis delivers a different type of style in his new album. Though he is considered "trap" his delivery makes me feel like he is verging away from his normal style. I personally don't like 80% of trap music, but his album definitely had a different sound. The production on this is great, it seems like Travis really took this album seriously, and gave it his all.
I have not stopped listening to this album since I bought it. The beats, the lyrics, the features, all forms into one well put together album and in my opinion had Travis' best songs on it. Some of my favorites are Goosebumps ft. Kendrick Lamar, Way Back ft. Kid Cudi and Swizz Beats and also features a vocal sample of "Roc Boys (And the Winner Is)... performed by Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Kanye West, First Take ft. Bryson Tiller, and Wonderful ft. The Weeknd.
I give this album a solid 8.4 out of 10 and definitely recommend picking it up over the weekend.
