Travi$ Scott has seemingly exploded since the days of him being T.I. and Kanye West’s protégé. Along with his strong track record, he has also landed multiple production placements with Big Sean, Justin Bieber and Rihanna — as well as his debut album Rodeo grabbing a top-5 spot on the Billboard 200.
Today, the rising musician graces the December/January 2016 of Complex Magazine. During his interview with Lawrence Schlossman, La Flame speaks on a few topics including his appreciation for Rihanna, the leak of his debut album, his relationship with his label Epic Records, and much more. Peep game below.
On Rihanna:
Travis avoids directly putting a label on his budding relationship, laughing and imploring me to not “do [me] like that, man” when I ask about it as delicately as possible. I am, however, able to get him to describe her in three words: “creative,” “inspiring,” and, after a long pause (and some assistance from Corey), “muse.”
On detractors:
“When my album dropped I deleted Twitter off my phone just so I could be at peace,” he says. “I saw some shit where on ‘Oh My Dis Side’ [somebody said] I got the melody from Future’s “Rich $ex,’ which is so weak and lame. That’s one of my favorite songs, but my album was made before the Future album came out. Metro [Boomin] stayed at my crib for, like, nine months and made mad beats that made it onto Future’s album. I’m like, damn if only they knew.”
