If you know Dom Kennedy, you know how often he makes references to his Hometown of Los Angeles. However Dom comes hot right out the gates on "Daddy" in typical Dom fashion. If you are struggling just to get into the first song then you probably won't be listening any further. The First cut of any album can often make or break your first impression. Now the album tracklist is shorter than a lot of his previous work. The album is being followed by the "days after rodeo" a ten night tour which stops in LA on the 15th. Overall I give the album a 4/5, Travis travels to uncharted waters with big name features but for the most part keeps his original sound which has got him this far. with Kanye asking "me and la flame is you not entertained" being the only highlight of the song. The track is met with no verse from Travis and lazy bars from Mr. Most can say that Kanye and Travis are the pioneers the the punk-hip hop sound and most would imagine that both on one track would be a dream come true. Travis and Toro Y Moi sound awkward and forced on this track, and finally Piss On Your Grave. This song does not play to Travi$ Scott's strong points. With an almost Pharrell like instrumental. The album also has its weak points like Flying High. followed by Justin with some bars, we learn that the beibs drinks don julio and prefers his drink "on the rocks no chaser". A classic Travi$ Scott song starts of with one intro leading into Young Thug on the hook calling for you to call your friend to get drunk. Another track that stands out is Maria I'm Drunk featuring none other than Justin Bieber and thug thugga thugga (Young Thug). Although this song has a more hyped sound than that of the dark gothic sounds we have came to expect from Travis it surely does not disappoint. Other stand out tracks on the album are Nightcrawler with an assist from Swae Lee and Chief Keef who seamlessly mash up their unique flows with Travis's.
(Hustle Gang), the song Pornography, which is one of my favorites, starts off slowly but shifts into the classic Travi$ Scott sound with lyrics like "its the rodeo time to get started houston nigga going james harden".
The first take off the album starts with narration from T.I., upon hearing this most are reminded that Travis although affiliated heavy with G.O.O.D music is signed to T.I. With a lack of good music releasing lately (in my opinion) I was ecstatic and eager to listen. With a release date of sep 4 the album leaked about a week early and did not disappoint. At long last Travi$ Scott dropped his debut album titled rodeo.
