Travis Scott is one of the most renowned young rappers of this generation. He quickly made a name for himself and began to work with big artists like SZA, Rihanna, and Drake. However, Scott is just as popular without the support of other artists, as is evident on his current Astroworld tour. His tour was hyped up with an amusement park theme and huge replicas of Scott’s own head, so it’s sure to get all the fans talking.
If you’re interested in seeing Travis Scott live, he still has several dates open for the remainder of the year. He’s scheduled to perform on November 24th in Newark, New Jersey, followed by visits to other cities including Washington, Omaha, and Phoenix, to name a few. The last date available for this year is December 22nd in Portland, Oregon.
Travis Scott Background
Jacques Webster, or Travis Scott, was born in Houston, Texas in 1992. Although Travis showed promise academically and graduated a year early from high school, he dropped out of college to pursue his music career. He produced and released two EPs before moving to L.A. to record his own music.
Through his meetings with T.I. and eventually Kanye West, he was introduced to the big shots in rap and hip hop. He released his mixtape, Owl Pharaoh, and was nominated for the Best Mixtape at the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards. From there, he began producing studio albums, both independently and in collaboration with others.

Some of Scott’s best work includes, “Butterfly Effect”, “Watch,” and “Sicko Mode”.
