Last night Travis Scott became the second artist ever to perform a concert on the game Fortnite, with the kick off of his “Astronomical” event. During the concert he performed hits like “Sicko Mode,” “Goosebumps,” and “Highest in the Room,” but the highlight of the night came when Travis shared his new single with Kid Cudi “The Scotts.”
Shortly after the event wrapped up, “The Scotts” was made available for streaming on all platforms. Scott also released physical copies of the single on his website, along with new merchandise. The track was produced by Travis Scott, Take A Daytrip, Dot da Genius, and Plain Pat, while the cover art was created by KAWS.

The two rappers released the track under both their names “The Scotts,” so we can only hope this means we will receive a full length project from the two sometime soon. The duo also previewed another unreleased track on Instagram live.

WZRD aint over either. We take a decade off between albums haha — The Chosen One (@KidCudi) April 24, 2020
The duo have collaborated before on Travis’ “Way Back,” and “Through the Late Night,” as well as Cudi’s “Baptized in Fire.” Travis has previously credited Kid Cudi as one of his biggest influences, stating that he does not receive nearly as much credit as he deserves.
“I idolize Kid Cudi a lot. That’s like, my favorite artist.” Travis said during a 2018 Beats 1 special. “I think he can go bar to bar—like some people think JAY-Z is the best rapper. I feel like he can compete with that and still have his own wave. I fuck with him, because he always had his own lingo. He created a world for kids like me, who wasn’t just like, the ultimate like drug dealer. He created that vibe and that planet, where you can mack on bitches and still be smooth, and still feel like you’re the king scientist. Not everyone is as real as their music is. That artist comes once every decade.”
