After landing a feature and a couple of production credits on G.O.O.D. Music’s Cruel Summer, Houston’s Travi$ Scott has grabbed the attention of many hip-hop fans. Yesterday, he let loose a self-produced single with the Cleveland rapper King Chip, formerly know as Chip tha Ripper.
On “Old English,” Scott develops a heavy, ominous 808-heavy instrumental layered with a deep and haunting chant that induces a sort of trance for listeners. King Chip gives us a more aggressive verse than we’re used to with the confidence that comes with his new name and Travi$ proves his abilities behind the mic anchoring the track. This cut will be featured on Travi$ Scott’s upcoming project Owl Pharaoh, due out soon.
