Travis Scott has announced a new single featuring Bad Bunny and the Weeknd. He teased the song, titled “Kpop,” on social media ahead of its release tomorrow night (July 20). This will be Scott’s first new music since he released the songs “Escape Plan” and “Mafia” in late 2021. 

Utopia, Scott’s upcoming album, is available for pre-order but no release date has been shared. It will mark his first album following the “mass casualty incident” at his Astroworld 2021 music festival in Houston where eight people died and others suffered injuries. (Two others died in the days following the festival, and a Texas grand jury declined to indict the rapper on criminal charges as of last week.) 

Back in May, Scott played a preview of Utopia for members of the Houston Astros baseball team in their locker room. He’s been teasing the LP for more than a year, as Billboards promoting it popped up around California leading up to last year’s Coachella.

Last week, Scott announced a livestream event to celebrate “the world of Utopia” with a performance in front of the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Although Egypt’s Musicians’ Syndicate said it would revoke a permit for the July 28 concert because it “contradict[s] the identity of the Egyptian culture,” promoter Live Nation denied that, saying there are “no changes to Travis Scott’s show in Egypt; any reports to the contrary are false.”
