Travis Scott Announces Release Date For "Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight"

Travis Scott's long awaited "Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight" drops next week. Now that his deal with Apple Music is in the bag, it looks like Travis Scott’s long-awaited new album, Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight, is finally ready to see the light of day. On Tuesday night in NYC, Travis was performing a show at the Ford Amphitheatre in Coney Island where he decided to announce to the crowd the release date to his highly anticipated album. According to Travis, Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight will be dropping August 5th, which happens to be next Friday. The album will be released via Apple Music and feature the lead single “Pick Up The Phone” with Young Thug & Quavo. In addition to the announcement, Travis also shared a never-before-heard record off the album as well, which sounds absolutely fire from what we can hear.

Kendrick Lamar Sings Travi$ Scott's "Antidote" At Columbus Concert

Kendrick Lamar shouts out Travi$ Scott at a show in Columbus. Here's something some of y'all never saw coming: Kendrick Lamar rapping along to a Travi$ Scott song. For some reason, La Flame die-hards on HNHH think Kendrick spreads the plague every time he spits and K-Dot stans see Travi$ Scott as the antithesis of everything hip-hop stands for. Well, said rivalry doesn't extend to the artists, as Kendrick was recorded singing along to "Antidode," and Scott posted the video on his Instagram. It seems as though fans were singing lines from Scott's "Antidote," and Kendrick then gave a shout out to Trav, before singing along to the line, "anything can happen at the night show." "Antidote" has been Scott's biggest hit off his debut album, Rodeo. The single has been steadily climbing the charts for 6 weeks and now sits at No. 41. Does this mean we can put this nonsensical rivalry to rest?

Travi$ Scott Gives His Chain To A Young Fan With "Rodeo" Tattoo

Travi$ Scott gives his chain to a young fan who has a "Rodeo" tattoo. Travi$ Scott caught some negative attention for his antics at a recent concert, when he hurled homophobic slurs at his fans for their lack of energy, so it's good to see him doing something genuine for an adoring fan. Scott is currently in France (where Rihanna is,too), and he just met a young fan who, at age 14, has already adorned his body with a "Rodeo" tattoo. Travi$ was so impressed that he gave the Parisian rager the chain off his neck. "Ur my idol kiddo," Scott wrote on Instagram.

Did Rihanna Just Squash Travi$ Scott Dating Rumors?

Rihanna seems to suggest that she's single. Why? Because she's a proud ____. The hip-hop gossip mill has been consumed by rumors of a new relationship between Rihanna and Travi$ Scott. The pair has been recently spotted together a few times out and about, and the most convincing evidence came on Friday night (Sept. 11), as we received video of the "BBHM" collaborators dancing all up on each other, and perhaps making out, in the corner of a NYC club during a Fashion Week after-party. That was enough for the gossip sites to run wild and confirm a serious relationship between Scott and RiRi. Well, not so fast, TMZ. Rihanna has just posted an Instagram that suggests she is still a single lady. The post states a question, "Omg why are you still single," and an answer: "cos I'm a cunt." Now, perhaps Ri just posted the meme for a laugh, but as most of the media attention surrounding her of late has focused on her alleged relationship with Travi$, it seems like a sly way for her to squash the rumors.

Travi$ Scott & Rihanna Were Getting Pretty Close At The Club Last Night

Further evidence that Rihanna and Travi$ Scott are an item. Rumors that Rihanna had sparked a new LaFlame have been making the rounds since earlier in the week, and new footage of RiRi and Travi$ Scott getting pretty close at the club Friday night definitely supports the story. While it's kind of hard to make out (no pun intended) footage obtained by TMZ shows the two artists dancing up on each other in a dark corner of the cub at Rihanna's fashion week after-party. After that, we get footage of the two turning up to Rih's "Bitch Better Have My Money," a song Scott also worked on.

Here Are Travi$ Scott's First Week Sales For "Rodeo"

Travi$ Scott has an admirable first week. It was tough to gauge how much Travi$ Scott's "Rodeo" would pull in its first week. It seemed to have an immense amount of hype, but internet excitement doesn't always necessarily equal high sales numbers, especially for a debut album -- plus, he didn't have a big single. However, Scott pulled through, moving a solid 74,941 copies of his LP, with streams beefing that number up to 90,940. Even with the numbers, Scott was only able to slide in at number 3, behind Five Finger Death Punch, and impressively, The Weeknd, who has kept the top spot for a second consecutive week, selling 142,392 copies of BBTM with streams.

Travi$ Scott Snapped At A Guy Who Mistook Him For ASAP Rocky

Travis$ Scott naturally wasn't pleased when someone assumed he was ASAP Rocky outside of a club. On his way to his record release party in NYC, Travi$ Scott obviously ran into a lot of photographers. As usual, the paps were yelling to get his attention, calling him by "Travis!," and even "Laflame!," but in a new clip from outside the club, you can faintly hear someone saying "ASAP!," which also caught Scott's attention. It's not clear if the calls are coming from an out-of-the-loop photographer or just someone on the street, but either way Travis made sure to set them straight -- turning around and exclaiming, "I'm not motherfucking ASAP, bitch". Scott has been known to be overly confrontational at times, but the paparazzi are already annoying enough -- so if they can't even get your name right, we understand why you'd be upset.

Tinashe Collaborates With Boi-1da, Travi$ Scott, Hit-Boy & More For New Album

Tinashe collaborates with Travi$ Scott, Hit-Boy, Boi-1da and more on her upcoming sophomore album. Tinashe's quickly becoming the next big pop star. The girl has been touring the world with Nicki Minaj, as part of the opening acts on "The Pinkprint" tour, and soon she'll be joining Katy Perry for Perry's South American tour. The singer is always on her grind, needless to say, and after releasing her debut album Aquarius to positive reviews in 2014, she's quickly returning in the Fall for a sophomore effort. She's already recorded thirty records for it. In a new interview with Billboard, Tinashe spoke on the forthcoming album and the contributors she's already locked in. Tinashe reveals she's turning to The Weeknd collaborator Max Martin, as well as Dr. Luke, for the new album, obviously eyeing pop stardom. "I don't see myself as an urban niche act," she says. "I want to have mainstream success that doesn't feel forced or label-made." She's also worked with Travi$ Scott and Hit-Boy on a record called "Joyride," as well as Boi-1da on "Party Favors." We'll see the return of Dev Hynes on the as-of-yet-untitled LP, as well as producer Nic Nac. RCA is planning to release the album in November,

Travis Scott's "Rodeo" Tracklist Surfaces Online

A fan got his hands on a physical copy of Travis Scott's "Rodeo" album and shared the project's tracklist in the process. On September 4, Travis Scott’s highly anticipated debut album, Rodeo, will finally be made available for the world to hear. Led by the previously-heard singles "3500" & "Antidote," we now know what the rest of the tracklist will look like thanks to a fan who got his hands on a physical copy of the album from Target on Tuesday. Laced with 14 tracks (16 on the deluxe), Rodeo will come listed with no features on the back cover, even though we know 2 Chainz & Future are featured on “3500” and the front confirms more guest appearances from Kanye West, The Weeknd, & Toro Y Moi (see gallery above). From what we’ve heard though, the track “Pray 4 Love” will feature The Weeknd and “Wasted” is the previously leaked “Drunk” featuring Young Thug.

Travi$ Scott Shares Standard & Deluxe Artwork For "Rodeo"

Travi$ Scott unveils the two covers of "Rodeo." We're now just a little over two weeks away from release day for Travi$ Scott's hotly anticipated debut album, Rodeo. Today, he's finally revealed another detail of the album: the artwork. Coming in standard and deluxe forms, the album has two different covers, both of which show Scott depicted in action figure form. The only difference is the deluxe art shows this figurine atop a monster truck toy. As per a tweet Scott just sent out, Rodeo is only currently available for pre-order in "SOME COUNTRYS," with iTunes' standard edition containing 14 tracks, including "Antidote" and "3500." It'll become available on US iTunes later tonight. Y'all excited for this?

Travis Scott Blasts Air Canada, Suggests Drake Should Buy It

There aren't a lot of things to hate on Canada for. The home of great healthcare coverage, genuinely friendly people, and Drake generally has a pretty good reputation, but as polite as its residents may be, anyone who lives there will tell you that Air Canada totally sucks. Unfortunately, Travis Scott didn't get the memo, and his flight with Air Canada today seems to have ended with a theft. The rapper posted a few messages for the company on Instagram, suggesting that they stole jewelry from him, and that they were calling the cops. Judging by his reporting on the situation, it seems the clerk was actually calling the cops on HIM rather than whoever took his jewelry. We may never get the whole story, but check out his posts below, including a hilarious request for Drizzy to buy the airline. Update: Travis called DJ Whoo Kid shortly after the ordeal, revealing that his Cartier bracelet was lost on the flight. According to the rapper, the staff was not very helpful helping him find it, and he suspects the cleaning staff may have picked it up. Then again, he was gone off some Xans. He's also told his fans that if they badger Air Canada enough, he'll release some new music.

OG Maco Sends Shots At Travi$ Scott Over "3500"

Over the course of his career, Travi$ Scott has often been accused of copying others' styles, whether those of Kid Cudi or his mentor, Kanye West, or more recently, Atlanta's trap rappers. The latest to call him out is OG Maco, who has a problem with Scott (a Houston native) putting Future, 2 Chainz, Metro Boomin and Zaytoven (all ATLiens) on his new single "3500." Read his tweets below.

What's impressive about an Atlanta record made by a non-Atlanta native, backed by two of the biggest artists and producers? Anyone?

— OG Maco (@OGMaco) June 8, 2015

I think it's more impressive that the real Atlanta youth is making major strides without co-signs and stacked teams. We empower each other.

Kanye West, Rihanna, Jack Sparrow & A Snake Showed Up To Travi$ Scott's Birthday

After doing a lot of production work for artists likes Kanye West and Jay Z, Travi$ Scott is very much establishing himself as a solo artist. The Houston rapper has earned a strong fanbase through his ad-lib heavy style, but much of his appeal also comes from his live show -- which is pretty much just one big party. Naturally when it comes to throwing a 23rd birthday for himself, Scott has some experience, inviting big name guests like Kanye, Rihanna, Chris Brown, and French Montana, as well as envisioning a pirate-themed turn-up function, including Jack Sparrow impersonators, live anacondas, and topless women (not pictured, sorry guys!). Take a look at some of the mayhem that went down at Scott's shindig below.

Best birthday party thanks to everyone that pulled up. And had fun. The opps for brought the hellacopter out. I threw up. Yes
