“JACKBOYS 2” is officially on its way. Put your damn seatbelt on.
Travis Scott, Don Toliver, and Sheck Wes have linked up once again for a chaotic, layered ride of a song called “2000 EXCURSION”—and it’s exactly the kind of genre-bending madness you’d expect from this crew. With production that opens like a spiritual cousin to Kanye West’s “POWER,” the track quickly flips into a bass-heavy, menacing trap anthem ready to whoop your speakers and rattle your nerves.
Travis Scott kicks things off with his signature melodic menace, sliding through the beat with a carefree, rebellious verse. He’s flexing bags, linking with “bad Spanish chicks,” and doing what he does best: floating over unpredictable soundscapes like he owns them. Then comes the first twist—Don Toliver arrives with a short, dreamy hook that’s hazy, melodic, and layered over the track’s temporary return to its “POWER”-inspired origins. It’s brief but magnetic.
Sheck Wes brings the chaos, but not necessarily in the best way. His verse is drowned in sound effects and distortion, making it nearly impossible to catch his bars unless you’re reading the lyrics. Still, the energy is there—he’s rapping about women who’ll “do anything for him,” and that wild-eyed Wes energy is alive, if not fully decipherable.
Just when you think the song’s winding down, Travis Scott returns with a surprisingly soulful, hypnotic outro, drenched in synths and melodic flourishes. It adds a whole new layer of depth before the track plunges back into its dark, rattling trap roots.
The Verdict? “2000 EXCURSION” is ambitious, aggressive, and loaded with ideas. The dual beats are fire, Don Toliver’s hook (though short) sticks with you, and Travis delivers in both performance and presence. If anything holds the track back, it’s the over-processed Sheck Wes section—but even that adds to the chaotic, wild nature of the song.
JACKBOYS 2 is going to either be really good or really bad. I see no in between.
