AceShowbiz - A new update on Travis Scott (II)'s new album "Utopia" is here. According to Epic Records CEO Sylvia Rhone, the "SICKO MODE" rapper's highly-anticipated album is set to release this summer.
During an interview with Billboard, Sylvia was asked about "Epic's biggest successes of the past year" and what fans can "expect in the coming year." In response, the businesswoman replied, "We have a new Travis Scott record, expected to come in June."
Sylvia further shared, "Last year, Future delivered the biggest album of his 10-year career at the company. How many hip-hop artists can do that and still be relevant? And 21 Savage is probably the hottest hip-hop artist on the street right now. He's got music out with [Metro Boomin] and with Drake."
"BIA and Giveon are in the second stage of development right now. And then we have new artists from all over. We signed Tyla from South Africa. We're breaking a young lady from London named Mimi Webb," Sylvia added. "We took the time during COVID-19 to really develop new artists, so we have in the chamber a lot of great new talent, and you'll see them become household names in this next year."
Prior to this, Travis himself confirmed that his long-awaited project is on the way. The 30-year-old hitmaker hosted his 2023 Cactus Jack HBCU Classic on February 16 at Minute Maid Park in Houston where he shared a quick update on his long-awaited album.
While on the field, Travis was greeted by fans in the crowd, who yelled out, "Utopia! Utopia!" The Houston-born rapper heard them and assured them that the follow-up to 2018's "Astroworld" is coming. "That motherfu**a on the way!" he said in a video clip that surfaced online.
"Utopia" was delayed in the wake of the deadly "Astroworld" festival in November 2021. Back in April, Travis teased the project with billboards on the I-10 highway leading to the Coachella festival in Indio, California.
