Gossip Cop calendar: Scott Dougray's 5 best roles

Biography

Reputable music publications call rapper Travis Scott nothing less than “the king of chaos,” and this is no coincidence. The American performer has repeatedly found himself in the hands of the police, and the musician was detained right on stage, accused of organizing riots.

The explosive energy of Scott's show and unimaginable special effects immediately turn on the crowd, but this is precisely why fans love him. The rapper calls fans of his work “rangers” (from English rage - rage). And in exactly the same way, Travis calls Stormi, his common daughter with Kylie Jenner.

Childhood and youth

Jacques Webster Jr. - this is the real name of Travis Scott - was born on April 30, 1992 in Houston. For some time he was raised by his grandmother, as his parents were busy with their careers. Jacques' mother worked for the telecommunications company AT&T, and his father built a business. As a schoolboy, Jacques moved to his father in the suburbs of Houston: most of Jacques Webster Sr.'s business was located in Missouri City.

In addition to Jacques Jr., his sister and brother were raised in the family. The boy attended private primary and secondary schools. At the age of 17, he graduated from Lawrence Elkins High School, where he participated in the theater club. The school is famous for its graduates who have achieved success in American football and baseball.

In addition, a few years earlier than Scott, Kendrick Sampson, an actor known for the TV series “The Vampire Diaries,” graduated from the same school, as well as Crystal Stewart, the winner of the Miss USA 2008 beauty pageant.

As the rapper admitted in an interview with Billboard, as a child he planned to become a nephrologist. But already in adolescence, music comes first for Jacques. And even though he enters the University of Texas at San Antonio, after a year the young man leaves him. Shocked by the outburst, Jacques's parents deprive him of funding, thus trying to force him to return to education. Financial difficulties complicate the development of a rapper's career, but soon fate brings him together with musician TI

Music

On his third birthday, Jacques received a drum set as a gift from his father and learned to play it no worse than the piano. But he never became a drummer, writes the Rolling Stones, because drumming did not particularly attract girls. Unlike beats and rap.

At the age of 16, a high school student decided to make his work public for the first time. The young man posted an untitled release on My Space, recorded together with his childhood friend Chris Holloway. The duo was called The Graduates. During his senior year, Webster created a new group: in addition to him, his classmate OG Chess also participated in The Classmates.

The result of joint creativity was the songs Buddy Rich and Cruis'n USA. But soon the group breaks up due to disagreements, including financial ones. During this period, the performer just quits university and loses the support of his parents, so the issue of earning money becomes especially acute for him.

Travis Scott's song Butterfly Effect

Webster leaves for New York. His friend Mike Vox, the owner of a hip-hop portal, works here, and Jacques relies on his connections. However, dreams are crushed. For four months, the aspiring musician lives with a friend and spends his days at Just Blaze's studio, but this leads nowhere. Webster leaves for the other end of the country, to Los Angeles, but an acquaintance who promised him support in the new city stops answering calls.

A frustrated, stumped young man returns to Houston. The meeting with his parents ends in a scandal, and Jacques is kicked out of the house. He finds acquaintances in California and again goes to Los Angeles. While on the coast, the rapper receives an invitation from representatives of the producer and performer TI. It turns out that the musician was interested in the track Lights, recorded by Webster. Meeting TI becomes a turning point in the biography of Travis Scott.

In 2012-2014, the musician recorded several singles. The song Quintana is accompanied by a video. TI and 2 Chainz collaborate with Webster, as well as rapper Big Sean. He manages to sign a contract with GOOD Music, the label founded by his idol Kanye West. The record label is helping Scott release his debut mixtape Owl Pharaoh. In 2013, it was published publicly on the Internet.

A year later, a new mixtape is released. Days Before Rodeo earns the rapper respect from the music critic community. Noting the similarity of Scott's style with the work of Kanye West and TI, journalists emphasize the eclecticism of the artist's tracks and the rationale for including each song in the mixtape. The success of the release and the upcoming release of his debut album push Travis to decide to go on the Rodeo tour. The musician gives about 20 concerts in major US cities.

Travis Scott's song Antidote

In 2020, the rapper opens his discography. The Rodeo album includes both solo tracks and collaborations with world-famous performers: Kanye West, Justin Bieber, rapper The Weeknd and others. The song Antidote becomes a hit, Billboard places it at number 16 in the top 100 songs, and the album itself at number three on the Billboard 200 chart.

The rapper's second album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, achieved first place in this ranking. The lyrics are dedicated to social issues. Travis's personal experiences translate into lines about how difficult it is to express oneself while being in a social trap. The album's biggest hits are the songs “Pick up the Phone” and “Goosebumps” (with Kendrick Lamar).

Travis Scott's dreadlocks

The recognizable style of the increasingly popular rapper - dreadlocks, dark T-shirts, sneakers - attracts fashion designers. In 2020, he is invited to shoot the next clothing line by designer Alexander Wen. And soon on Instagram, Scott announces the release of his own clothing line. It is supported by the Australian brand Helmut Lang.

2017 was marked for the performer with another tour and major joint projects. Among them are a guest participation in the recording of the album of the group Migos, collaboration with the musician Nav and the single “Go off” shared with rappers Quavo and Lil Uzi Vert, which was included in the soundtrack of the eighth part of the Fast and the Furious franchise. Together with the Migos member, he releases a joint album called “Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho.”
