Rapper Travis Scott dropped a 17-track new album titled Astroworld on August 3rd, but that isn’t all. It turns out Scott recorded plenty of tracks, and some didn’t make the final cut. However, he decided to preview some of them during his appearance at Beats 1 Radio’s Wav Radio show.
Scott previewed three songs – “Part Time,” “Zoom” featuring Gunna, and “Houdini” featuring Playboi Cardi – on the show, and then released them on Apple Music. You can also check out the songs below.
Travis Scott also discussed details about his collaborations on Astroworld. The album featured several guests including Drake, Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, and Tame Impala’s frontman Kevin Parker.
Scott was especially impressed by Parker. “He really came in the studio and didn’t say s**t,” said the 26-year-old rapper about Parker. “He’s ill. I think he’s a genius.”
Astroworld is slowly becoming a critics’ favorite, with some media like NME giving it a perfect rating. The record received praise for its guest appearances and infectious melodies alongside Scotts’ maturity.
These reviews are more than encouraging, considering the fact that Travis Scott’s last album Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho, a collaboration with Quavo from 2017, didn’t get the warmest welcome.
