Astroworld is the third studio album by American rapper Travis Scott. It was released on August 3, 2018, through Cactus Jack Records and Grand Hustle Records, and distributed by Epic Records.

He was a gawky teenager from the Texas suburbs who flubbed interviews and wore snapbacks, but whenKanye Westfirst sawTravis Scott’shome-made video for his self-released singleLights (Lovesick)he invited him to the studio to work onCruel Summerimmediately. A year later, the 2013 sloppy mescaline-trip mixtapeOwl Pharaohforeshadowed him as one of hip hops visionaries.

And within four more years, he was riding a giant animatronic eagle through the air at arenas with a blazing stage presence that even his tour mateKendrick Lamarfaced difficulty following. His third studio album,Astroworld, feels like the grand opening of a vision that took a half-decade to perfect, still using the same psychedelic synth warps, diamond-cut drums, and reptilian hooks that initially skyrocketed him to stardom.
