The American rap star Travis Scott released an album on July 28, 2023 under the title of Utopia.
Utopia debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 on the day of its release. The album officially surpassed over one billion streams on Spotify.
In a Carl Lamarre interview for Billboard, Travis Scott reportedly said, “Utopia is something that people feel is so far-fetched and out of reach, some perfect state of mind. But you create it yourself.”
The album includes nineteen songs with a range of featured artists including Beyonce, Drake, The Weekend, SZA, Kid Cudi, Future, Young Thug, and other celebrated artists.
Currently, the most streamed track is Meltdown featuring the Canadian rapper Drake which has over 101 million streams.
“I love certain songs. I'm not gonna say it's the ultimate album, but it's an amazing album,” said Carson High School junior Angel Clements. “The rapper lost his touch just a tad, but my favorite song is Telekinesis.”
Supporters share the popular opinion that Travis Scott’s classic and older music is better than his more recent sounds.
Carson High School senior Isaiah Napoleon said, “Utopia album is so far the album of the year. [It’s] good due to the featured artist in the album.”
A poll of 100 Carson Complex students' reveal that Til Further Notice is the best track.
