Stream Travis Scott’s Kanye-Approved ‘Days Before Rodeo’

Dual Kanye West/T.I. protegé Travis Scott has released Days Before Rodeo, the 12-track prequel to his forthcoming Grand Hustle/Epic Records debut Rodeo. It's loaded with doomy trap beats and trippy robo-mewling, as well as major guest spots from the likes of Young Thug, Migos, Big Sean, Rich Homie Quan, and more. Just don't call this thing a mixtape:

And that makes sense — last year's free Owl Pharaoh project certainly felt more realized than your run-of-the-mill tape, as does this follow-up. It's a massive affair — at times indulgent, at times wild, at times meandering, but altogether a singular effort that couldn't have been made by anyone else.

To mark the release, the wavy Texas rapper premiered the video for "Don't Play," featuring Big Sean and The 1975, which you can watch up top. Then head below to stream the whole 12-track affair, which just got a Kanye co-sign.
