It has a darker production where Travis talks about how he relates to kids and how they can relate to his music. Zombies is a very eerie track which goes further into the themes of the last song and now talks about the new wave of music and artists. This track also features Young Thug who goes great on it. ![]() It would be easy to miss this deeper message without the explanation so I’m glad I saw that. There’s lots of double entendres about how artists are the drug that he doesn’t get high on anymore which makes a lot of sense due to his explanation of the track. Skyfall is about artists falling off and not being able to connect with the current generation as explained by Travis. This song also ends with another 20 second outro of the complex instrumental which I like being able to hear in full. This song is about how he isn’t “playing with these niggas” which makes him sound very dominant. It kinda sounds like previous song but sped up which is interesting. This song is dark and intense and has a chorus that’s sweeps from ear to ear. At the end the track spirals down for the last 20 seconds which could represent coming down from a high.ĭon’t Play features a harpsichord and sounds incredibly Travis production wise. I liked the layered vocals where one vocal track is very deep and breathy, it had a certain Travis style that I’ve grown to love. There’s lots of reversed audio as Travis portrays the effects of drugs and talks about falling in love while high on this song. ends this song by narrating Travis’s life much like he did in Rodeo which was interesting to see.ĭrugs You Should Try It has a light, plucky electric guitar and is very chilled out. At the end the beat pitches up and Travis’s voice pitches way down which I liked. The beat switches back to how it started after T.I.s verse in this song that’s all about finessing. There’s beat switch going into T.I.s verse which gets a lot choppier and intense before dropping with a hard bass and 808 heavy beat. 2 has more 80s pop synths but in the minor key which made for an interesting production. Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug work perfectly on this track as well which just added to my overall praise for the song. The production overall paired with the faster flow and layered vocals felt really solid. Mamacita is my favorite song in the album, I really liked the drums and guitar intro in the intro and the clear rock influences. The heavy reveeeb and reversed audio outro were interesting stylistically and something Scott has dabbled with in other projects. The bass feels a bit muddy at first on this song which is a prayer blessing the album. ![]() Migos & Peewee Longway)ĭays Before Rodeo: The Prayer kicks off the album with dark and ominous church organs and production which plays into the prayer and church aspect of the title. I liked Rodeo more than this tape, but it still feels like a solid project overall. My rating has nothing to do with comparing it to Carti or anybody else, I just feel like this album is multifaceted in what it achieves and moods it can be played in and that’s what makes it so versatile and impressive. I find this aligning much more with my taste and still having that deep core trance style that some people like about Playboi Carti, except I feel this is much more well done. There was a recurring style of letting the instrumental play for the final 20 seconds of the track which I found interesting, and really adds to the party style sound of Travis. There were a few songs that I thought were a little sub par at points, but still found them enjoyable nonetheless. For a mixtape and not a studio project, I find this very impressive and surpassing my expectations. It feels a little less focused thematically than Rodeo did, but that didn’t detract in the least as this is still an all around great project. However, I found this project to boast impressive production still that’s built around that deep bass sound and has that very Travis Scott style that I can’t quite put my finger on that makes him sound so good overall. ![]() After reviewing Rodeo and being impressed by the production and style that Travis Scott brings to the table, I was expecting a much less refined sound from his earlier mixtape Days Before Rodeo.
