Travis Scott Gives Fans Unique Look Into The Making Of “Utopia”
Travis Scott shared a series of pictures from behind the scenes of the making of his latest album, Utopia, on Instagram, on Sunday. Among the photos are appearances from Pharrell, Rick Rubin, Dave Chappelle, and director Harmony Korine. On his Instagram Story, as caught by HipHopDX, he also remarked that the song, “My Eyes,” “means everything” to him. On the track, he seemingly touches on the 2022 Astroworld Festival tragedy that resulted in the deaths of numerous attendees.
In the comments section, Teezo Touchdown thanked Scott for the opportunity to work together. “Thank you sooooo much for everything congratulations,” he wrote. “1,000,000 more years to the flame XX.” Other fans called on Scott to drop a documentary about the making of the long-awaited project. “We need that utopia documentary now,” one top response reads. More users reacted to Mike Dean popping up in a neck brace in one of the pictures. One wrote: “He probably got hurt in the moshpit, and it ain’t no moshpit if there’s no injuries.”
