JACKBOYS: Is it a collective? Is it a label? Or is it a group? Similar to the first line of “Gang Gang”- what…the fuck…is we…doin? I actually don’t quite know yet, but I’m here for it because Travis has got some key features on the project like DaBaby, Sheck Wes, Offset, Rosalía and so many more!
Repeat collaborators like Young Thug and Don Toliver truly (out)shine and lead the pack with my fave tracks on the brand new album. “Had Enough” and “What To Do” are so incredibly different, but I can’t help but be taken back to first time I heard Toliver on Astroworld‘s “Can’t Say”. I knew right then and there that anything he touched would be extremely unique and a high point in the record. But in close second (who’s counting?) is “Out West” with Atlanta’s Young Thug. The song pops off almost immediately, and you already know that Thugger came through with the absolutely foolish lyrics that we want: “I eat molly and I take this bitch on a trip…”
Definitely the most unexpected and fresh collaborator on the project (and the only female) is Rosalía, who actually performed at the 2nd Annual Astroworld Fest in Houston, Texas last year. The “Highest In The Room (Remix)” features a multilingual moment from the Spanish singer, who even shouts the classic Travis ad-libs “It’s lit!” and “Straight up!” during her iconic verse.
