Underground Talent of the Week: Travis Scott


When it come to the Underground Talent of the Week I try to take into consideration 3 key things:

  • Rhyme Scheme
  • How known in the mainstream world is the rapper
  • And what separates the artist from all other up and comers
Names I've previously mentioned in articles like Kid Ink and George Watsky definitely stand out in these categories but none so far is more.."different" then Houston Texas' native Travis Scott.

Jacques Webster is the name of this 21-year old rapper/producer who has made a name for himself with Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label. Now signed with T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records Travis Scott has been peaking the interest of listeners with his eerie/outlandish lyrics and even more intriguing choices of outfits.

Some of the singles (from his album "Owl Pharaoh" that made Scott known are:

  • Blocka La Flame 
  • Animal
  • Im Leanin
  • Bandz
  • Upper Echelon
  • Quintana (One of his most popular)
But more recent is his Single released in 2013 featuring A$AP Ferg "Uptown". Travis himself produced the song and there's no doubt that he helped develop the feel for the video.
