' UTOPIA is not all pretty,' he says in the film.

Scott goes from DJing a colorful dance party for 'MODERN JAM' to smashing chairs and nearly burning down an ancient Italian racing stadium while 'FE!N' rings off.ĬIRCUS MAXIMUS also allows Scott to share his rather unexpected interpretation of what UTOPIA means inside his world. The Harmony Korine-directed movie features about half of the songs from UTOPIA and includes appearances from Sheck Wes, Yung Lean and James Blake. 'You've come a long way - is the house half empty or completely empty? How are the kids? I heard there was a tragedy,' Rubin asks Scott at one point, but he takes the conversation in a different direction. The 76-minute film - which takes its name from a UTOPIA track - serves as more of a series of music videos centered around a conversation between the rapper and producer Rick Rubin. CIRCUS MAXIMUS Is UTOPIA 's Visual Companionįans didn't know what to expect with Scott's CIRCUS MAXIMUS, which hit select theaters mere hours prior to UTOPIA. In honor of La Flame's star-studded fourth studio LP - which is loaded with 18 features across 19 tracks - here are five early takeaways surrounding UTOPIA. Yet, the pressure didn't seem to faze the Houston-born rapper - UTOPIA creates another euphoric world for his loyal fans. But after he experienced tragedy and heartbreak alongside triumphs and joy, Scott had all eyes on him as UTOPIA arrived on July 28. Earlier this year, the pair reportedly split just weeks before UTOPIA 's arrival, Scott was cleared of any criminal liability for the Astroworld Festival incident, but civil lawsuits remain to be sorted.Įxpectations were already sky-high for Scott to maintain luminary status with his ASTROWORLD follow-up. Three months later, he welcomed his second child with Kylie Jenner. Amid working on the album (which he began teasing in 2020), his 2021 iteration of Astroworld Festival resulted in a crowd crush that killed 10. Since the 2018 GRAMMY-nominated album solidified Scott as part of rap's A-list, he's endured the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. It's been a turbulent five-year journey for Travis Scott bridging the worlds of ASTROWORLD to UTOPIA.
