The Trap subgenre seems to be where Hip-Hop artists and producers want to be when they feel like “experimenting”, as can be further evidenced with the second offering from A-Trak and Lex Luger’s upcoming project.

Meek Mill releases the visual for his track with Travi$ Scott, Birdman & Diddy, off his Dreamchasers 3 mixtape….unfortunately, Diddy & Birdman don’t make a appearance in the video.
Travi$ Scott releases his new 8 minute video in support of his record with A$AP Ferg off his mixtape Owl Pharaoh. Directed by Travi$ Scott.
Sadly, I damn near forgot all about Big Sean’s Hall Of Fame album, and today, I get a huge reminder in the form of a remix to one of the best cuts off of the project.
Also, this lyric can be found in the song, courtesy of Rozay:
16s are coke, all my verses be dope/F*ck X-X-L, ’cause I’m The Source to these quotes
Travi$ Scott lands on the covers of FADER‘s “Now” issue. Above, check some behind the scenes footage from the photo shoot. Below is an excerpt where he talks about his first time meeting Kanye West. Read the cover story here…you can check out the actual cover on the next page below.
“[Anthony] Kilhoffer, my manager, has known ’Ye for X amount…I didn’t even see ’Ye for like four weeks. I was like, What the fuck? This is kind of weird. I was in some studio around the corner. I added shit in on ‘Theraflu’ and that was it, and that was when I met Lifted for the first time—that was the dude that did the ‘Mercy’ beat. I got hit up like, Yo, we want you to fuck with this ‘Mercy’ track. I fucked with it and turned it in. It came out and I was like, Oh shit! That’s the first time I heard some of my sounds. So time goes on and I didn’t meet ’Ye yet, and I was like, Man, that’s weird. So I get back to Jungle City and they’re like, Yeah, he wants to meet you around five. And I didn’t see this nigga for three days. I did the ‘Don’t Like’ remix—the drums and shit. [Young] Chop lost the files for the track, so man…Then I met him. I played him what Owl Pharaoh was at the time and he was like, Whoa, and I was like, I got these ideas, and I was singing on it, and we just kept talking…”
Travi$ Scott releases the video for his record ‘Shit On You’ off his Owl Pharaoh mixtape which is out now. Directed by Corey Damon Black and Marc Kalman.
Courtesy of Nah Right, we get to see Travi$ Scott’s freestyle live rendition of ‘Bad Mood/Shit On You’ to get folks ready for the BET Hip-Hop Awards which goes down next Tuesday.
UPDATE #2: ALIFE has released their official video from the event (also added below)
UPDATE: Additional footage (from Drake himself), which I’ve added in replacement of the initial video.

Travi$ Scott speaks on working/performing with Kanye West and JAY Z, the beginnings of his career and more. Below: he performs ‘Upper Echelon’ and ‘Uptown’.
Travi$ Scott was just one of the many artists in attendance at this year’s MTV VMA awards. As the celebs hit the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, VIBE wrangled up some of our favorites to talk about their upcoming projects. In an exclusive red carpet interview, Trav tells VIBE that he has plans to hit the studio with Meek Mill in the near future.
“Just know we record with no lights on,” Travi$ tells VIBE.” I usually just make something on the spot or I have an idea.”
Scott also says he may have another Jay Z track in the stash for his upcoming solo album.

Travi$ Scott doesn’t consider himself Hip-Hop and doesn’t like a lot of music. Go figure….I’m inclined to agree.
Travis Scott puts on another hat and directs one of his videos for his single with T.I & 2 Chainz…taken from Owl Pharaoh.
UPDATE: New dates have been posted for the PNCXX Tour, and I’m sure there’s additional dates to come. Check out the updated list down bottom.
