Travis Scott's new album ASTROWORLD is here. In addition to previously released single "Butterfly Effect," ASTROWORLD contains 16 additional tracks, and there are some impressive features: Frank Ocean makes a rare appearance while Drake and The Weeknd contribute vocals. Production comes from sources as wide as Boi-1da, Pharrell, and Tame Impala. Executive producer Mike Dean is credited on every song.

It’s rumored that Stevie Wonder plays harmonica on “Stop Trying to Be God,” though he has no official credit at the time of writing. It is also believed James Blake and Kid Cudi appear on the same song. Scott thanked Wonder in a tweet sent after the album’s release.

After more than two years of anticipation, Travis Scott’s third studio album ASTROWORLD has finally seen the light of day. And just one glance at the project’s credits, we’re confident it was worth the wait.
The long-awaited project spans 17 tracks, including the previously heard record “Butterfly Effect.” The track "Watch" featuring Kanye West and Lil Uzi Vert didn't make the cut. ASTROWORLD also boasts guest appearances by some of the biggest names in the game, as well as production courtesy of Murda Beatz, Boi-1da, Nineteen85, and more.
Now that we’ve had some time to listen to the full album, or at least get a little taste, we’re taking a closer look at the team that made ASTROWORLD possible.

One week after a giant Travis Scott head manifested itself atop Amoeba Records in Hollywood, the rapper’s latest release Astroworld has finally blessed our ears. And right there on the cover is that same head, ready to consume all. The 17-track album might seem like a behemoth next to the micro-works of Kanye West we’ve gotten used to, but there are plenty of gems here, including an appearance by Drake on “Sicko Mode” and Frank Ocean on “Carousel.” Other artists featured on the album include Swae Lee on “R.I.P. Screw,” Kid Cudi and James Blake on “Stop Trying to Be God,” Juice WRLD on “No Bystanders,” The Weeknd on “Skeletons,” 21 Savage on “NC-17,” NAV and Gunna on “Yosemite,” and Quavo and Takeoff on the song “Who? What!” Notably absent from the album is the single “Watch,” which Scott released earlier this summer featuring Kanye West and Lil Uzi Vert.
Listen to the full album below:
After showing off giant golden replicas of his head (both in person at locations around the country and on his album artwork), Travis Scott has released his new album Astroworld. Listen below. Frank Ocean appears on “Carousel,” and Drake is featured on “Sicko Mode.” Stevie Wonder plays harmonica on “Stop Trying to Be God,” a representative for Scott confirms to Pitchfork. That song also features James Blake. Migos’ Quavo and Takeoff appear on “Who? What!.” The Weeknd is featured on “Wake Up” and “Skeletons;” the latter song that also credits Pharrell Williams and Dungen's Reine Fiske, and was produced by Tame Impala. John Mayer and Thundercat are on “Astrothunder,” Swae Lee is credited on “R.I.P. Screw,” 21 Savage is credited on “NC-17,” and Juice WRLD and Sheck Wes are credited on “No Bystanders.”
The album includes the previously released single “Butterfly Effect” and a song he’s performed live, “Stargazing.” It also features a song called “Houstonfornication.” His recent single “Watch” with Kanye West and Lil Uzi Vert does not appear on the new album. (21 Savage does name-drop Kanye and Kid Cudi on “NC-17.”)
Tonight, he debuted “5% Tint” during his Lollapalooza set. Watch it happen below.
Travis’ last solo album Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight was released in 2016. His joint project with Quavo, Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho, was issued near the end of last year. He recently hopped on Rae Sremmurd’s SR3MM single “CLOSE.”
