Travis Scott celebrated the milestone of his breakout tape with its first wide release. He’s right to return to his strongest material.⁠ ⁠ Days Before Rodeo, released exclusively on Soundcloud in August 2014, was the first real proof of Scott’s concept: Surrounded by big-name co-producers like Mike Dean, Metro Boomin, Lex Luger, and Southside, as well as features from the likes of Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, and the Migos, Scott is never the best at what he’s doing, but his production is studied and encyclopedic, a testament to the 10,000 hours behind the decks that — along with luck and connections — undoubtedly laid the groundwork for his ascent into rap’s stratosphere.⁠ ⁠ Read hamiltonthemixtape's full feature at the link in bio, or head to TheFADER.com.⁠ ⁠ 📸 JonathanMannion for The FADER⁠ ⁠ #TravisScott #DaysBeforeRodeo
