One of hip-hop’s long awaited duos is finally here and with a new single, “THE SCOTTS”. Scott Mescudi better known as Kid Cudi, one of the biggest musical influences of our generation, has teamed up with Houston’s own, La Flame, aka Travis Scott. Travis is known for a life-long Cudi fan and even credits him for saving his life. After the release of their first 2016 collabs, “through the late night” on Travis’s Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight, and “Baptized In Fire” on Cudi’s Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’, fans were left feening for a possible duo.
The new single & visual (above) premiered on Fortnite’s Travis Scott: Astronomical virtual experience along with La Flame’s new solo single Astronomical. “THE SCOTTS” kicks off with their signature lo-fi instruments before the hard bass-hit and heart monitor loop enter, courtesy of producers: Take A Daytrip, Dot Da Genius and Plain Pat. Travis’s sound dominates the first half of the record before tagging Cudi to spit and leave his unique vocals. The keys and strings towards the end of the song provide a beautiful, transcendental outro for what seems to be the first of many singles before their collab album.
