Amidst soaring anticipation for the forthcoming album “Utopia”, Houston’s legendary rapper, record producer and songwriter Travis Scott, Jacques Berman Webster II, headlined this year’s second leg of Rolling Loud in Miami.
While Scott raged throughout his headlining performance alongside Playboi Carti and A$ap Rocky, the hard-hitting emcee had some crucial announcements to make.
First, his fourth studio album “Utopia” is releasing on Friday. While Scott has been dropping various hints about his upcoming LP, this is the first time that he has asserted a Friday release date this week.
Scott’s headlining set at Rolling Loud Miami arrived just a week before the “Astroworld” rapper premiers the long-awaited LP at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt.
Further, Scott’s “Utopia” LP will be released alongside a motion picture film. Titled “Circus Maximus”, which translates to “Largest Circus”, the Cactus Jack rapper premiered its exclusive trailer amidst his Rolling Loud performance.
While Scott is yet to provide any further details about the film, he confirmed that “Circus Maximus” will be screened at select screens in the U.S.
