808Mafia released a video on Instagram tagging both rapper Travis Scott and rapper Future. The anticipation for the drop, signifying Travis Scott's mighty return, is palpable as fans wonder what is next. From the looks of it, the Astroworld tragedy is in his rearview for now.
Yesterday, 808Mafia, powerhouse record producers and songwriters, dropped a visual tease on Instagram featuring Travis Scott. Fans are anticipating the release of Scott’s first offering after the Astroworld tragedy and it appears he’s not looking back.
The video is just shy of being 30-seconds long and contains footage in dark, dim lighting, with glitchy effects spread throughout the video. There were surreal moments such as an alligator tail slithering across the floor in one scene and someone revving a motorcycle in the kitchen.
Both Future and Scott were featured in the colorful light flashes, signaling Scott’s redemptive return is near. The video ends with a black screen and April 22 in white lettering.
The caption of the post reads, “The wait is over it’s time let the games begin 😈 @travisscott @future.” 808Mafia tagged both Travis Scott and Future.
The “its time to let the games begin” caption suggests that this offering will be more of what fans have come to expect from Travis Scott. The Astroworld tragedy will likely go unaddressed in a meaningful way in this first drop since the 10 people died that fateful November night.
Travis Scott’s Redemption
