Travis Scott Takes Over Hot 97 in the AM to Talk New Album, Kid Cudi, and Cruel Winter! Real Late with Peter Rosenberg (Ft. Travis Scott)

[Playing "Antidote" ]

[Peter Rosenberg] Travis can we start off with uh what the name of your album is and what the hell it means cause when I saw it I was deeply confused

[Travis Scott]
My albums called Birds in The Trap Sing McKnight
And I'mma keep it short for this explanation
But, its basically its you know
Anybody creative thats kind of like been stuck and had a problem getting the idea out, it took me 8 months just to get the "90210" video out, with Hype Williams
It took me six months just to get the action figure out
It shouldn't take no one, no artist that long, you know
Just to you know get something idea out
Especially something thats going to culturally shift
You know, the world musically
Now the music's more towards the independent artists
I feel like in a couple years
We all be able to fly around and do what we want

[Rosenberg] But Why Sings McKnight?

[Travis Scott]
Cause, I wanted Andre 3000 with the whole album
I had this play idea, Act I, Act II, Act III
And then later on I was like
With the visuals I can make it more of a play
But theres no way I can make a album out of a play
I'm too much of a rager for this shit to be like (sorry, stuff)
For Stuff, for stuff to be to that you know
I didn't want people to overthink it
I didn't want it to look too much so I feel like the
Only thing that needed to be complicated was my title
People to understand it, and the music straight forward
