Travis Scott’s Defines ‘Utopia’ As Hip-Hop Inches Closer to New Album
Travis Scott is continuing to usher us into the world of Utopia. Scott recently appeared in PINUP Magazine, where he detailed the visions behind his album.
āUtopia is something that people feel is so far-fetched and out of reach, some perfect state of mind,ā Travis Scott said. āBut you create it yourself. There are people who achieve Utopia every day. They may not be the richest people with the dopest cribs, but itās a utopia wherever they are, and thatās the most you can have.
āWith every album I live in these worlds in my mind ā Iām trying to show people experiences where utopian things can exist, and you can enjoy yourself and have a good time. They can create energy that spews out magical things ā new cures, new buildings, new avenues for people to move forward. People need to see that Utopia is real.ā
Travis Scottās Utopia album appears loaded and ready to go, but donāt expect leaks. Travis keeps the album secure to him, packed in a briefcase, and handcuffed to his security guard.
Travis was spotted in Hollywood on Thursday, hitting a vinyl store. TMZ noted the rapper was escorted by his security guard. In addition to ensuring Scottās safety and opening his door, the guard had another job, making sure the Utopia album was safe.

Boasting 49 million followers on Instagram alone, Travis Scott played the unreleased music right before the Astros played the Chicago Cubs in their home stadium. Travis must have been good luck, as the Astros ended up beating the Cubs 6 to 4. Additionally, Scott got in some batting practice and even got to peep the weight room.
While rocking his Air Jordan 1 Low āBlack Phantomā sneakers, Travis seemed very excited to preview Utopia. In fact, heās been teasing these tracks for years, even releasing two songs titled āMafiaā and āEscape Planā back in November 2021.
Last year, cryptic billboards of Utopia popped up all around Southern California. In August, Travis revealed returning to the studio to perfect the new project.
