Long Live La Flame

Jacques Webster,

also known as 

Travis $cott,

is an American hip hop producer/ recording artist,

raised in Houston, Texas. 

 

Travis has always been surrounded by musicians in his family

and at the age of 16 began to produce beats.

With Travis' first musical relationship being with Chris Holloway

creating the duo named:

The Graduates.

Together they were able to drop two EPs,

Buddy Rich & Crusin USA in 2011.

Soon after the duo broke up & Travis started his solo journey.

Although Travis dropped out of college, 

he had a bright vision of his future. 

He moved out to LA and began working with

Mike Waxx, and began to produce and release music once again. 

TI heard Travis' song and reached out to have him come down to the studio

and sooner than he thought, 

Travis' road to success began.

Acquiring Kanye West's engineers number while down in the studio with TI,

Travis contacted him and flew out to NY to meet and have Kanye listen to his music. 

Flight after flight, little did Travis' mom know that she was paying for plane tickets instead of college. 

Finally in NY, 

Kanye knew he had discovered a diamond in the rough and from there, 

Travis rose to glory.

Now under the wing of Kanye West, 

Kanye helped Travis produce Travis' debut project:

Owl Pharaoh.

Travis then helped produce G.O.O.D Music's debut compliaton album:

Cruel Summer.

Signing to Kanye's music label,

GOOD Music, 

Travis Scott has been a blessing to the production ever since.

In 2014, Days Before Rodeo recently was released.

WHY TRAVIS $COTT?

Travis Scott's favorite artist is Kid Cudi, so therefore resembles a similar feel to his music. 

He also helped produce alot of Kanye West's music which is why alot of 

Travis' music itself sounds similar to Kanye's.

If you are a fan of Kanye West and Kid Cudi, 

then it wouldn't hurt to listen to Travis Scott as well.

Although many aren't a fan of the overly popular "trap" music,

Travis Scott brings a softer kind of trap to the table.

RECOMMEND: Mamacita, SkyFall ft. Young Thug, and MIA.
