Travis Scott just keeps on dishing out the goodies for his fans. The Houston rapper has just released a brand new music video for his single 'Gatti' off his latest 'Jack Boys' album that dropped a few days ago. And he also had time to sit down with XXL Magazine to talk about his family and career in a recent interview.
La Flame's music video for 'Gatti', featuring Pop Smoke and others from his 'Jack Boys' crew, comes hot on the heels of the video for 'Gang Gang' that was released just a few days ago — that video also featured members of Scott's Cactus Jack Records posse, namely Sheck Wes, Don Toliver and Luxury Tax 50. That video already has over six million views in just three days!
The video for 'Gatti' sees Travis and Pop Smoke showcasing their cool rap flows and even icier bling in a Bugatti that they drive around on the streets of Brooklyn, complete with lit doobies and big booty dancers. Check it out here:
Travis Scott also recently sat down with the hip hop publication XXL Magazine to talk about his career and family life. Here are some excerpts from the interview, which touches on the rapper's 'Jack Boys' crew and how life as a father to his daughter Stormi is coming along.
On his 'Jack Boys' release:
"My new album 'Jack Boys', is a collective of me, Sheck Wes, Don Toliver and people that are signed to Cactus Jack Records, my label. True members of the Cactus Gang - friends, people that I like and respect, musically. I don’t like the word compilation. It’s just a body of work made with a few of my friends and people I’ve always made music with since day one. It’s just fun and something that’s endearing and cool. It kind of like, wakes up the minds of people that might not know about Don Toliver or people that know about Sheck Wes and makes them want to know more."
On life with his daughter Stormi:
"Being a dad is better than what I thought it would be. Stormi is one of the best human beings I know. She’s like my best friend. She makes life a little bit easier. She just inspires me and she surprises me every day with how she’s thinking. It’s so crazy. Her mom (Kylie Jenner) and I came up with the name Stormi together. I love her mommy and I always will. The hard part about relationships is just trying to be in one without a million outside voices interfering. I never let any of that shit affect my mental, but it’s a pain in the ass. One of the best parts about becoming a dad is that it has actually brought me and my parents closer. It’s something beautiful for the family, a new addition."
The rapper also revealed how life as a new father had affected him as a person. "Having a daughter is amazing and has given me such respect for mothers and the process of raising children. It’s really, really powerful! It’s not a struggle to have a famous significant other. I think life in general always comes with hardships. It’s how you deal with them. I love being at the crib and I love spending time with the family. Now especially, because I just love hanging out with the Stormster. I just love watching my kid grow. It makes life so much simpler. I also love watching movies and just sitting and soaking up inspiration."
