The rapper wants his next album to sound bigger, feel larger, and create unforgettable moments.

Travis Scott wants his next album to feel like an event. In an interview via Variety, the superstar rapper revealed that he is taking inspiration from artists across multiple generations, including Parliament, Oasis, Van Halen, Don Toliver, Raphael Saadiq, and Daft Punk.

According to Travis, the creative process is about discovering new sides of himself as an artist. He specifically praised Van Halen’s “mega-choruses and hard bass lines,” while explaining that he continues searching for sounds that challenge him. His stadium shows are also playing a major role in shaping the album, as he wants to create music that can connect with fans sitting anywhere inside a massive venue.

That ambition matches the scale of his recent releases. ASTROWORLD became a landmark album in Travis’ career, delivering the iconic “SICKO MODE” and becoming one of rap’s biggest commercial successes. UTOPIA followed with another No. 1 debut, showcasing Travis’ willingness to experiment while maintaining his status as a major force in hip-hop.

As he moves into this next era, Travis Scott appears determined to make more than music. He wants to create a world fans can step into.
