Travis Scott drops 'JACKBOYS 2' with Cactus Jack, featuring GloRilla, Tyla and more
Travis Scott has released JACKBOYS 2, the latest compilation album with Cactus Jack, now streaming everywhere. Celebrating Houston's 713 Day, the album honours Scott's hometown with a 17-track compilation that continues the legacy of the original JACKBOYS project from 2019. The album, hosted by H-Town icon Bun B, features returning Cactus Jack talents like Sheck Wes, Don Toliver, Sofaygo and Wallie the Sensei, along with a wide mix of collaborators including GloRilla, Kodak Black, Tyla, 21 Savage, Vybz Kartel, SahBabii and Waka Flocka Flame. The rollout began with 2000 Excursion, a high-energy single that arrived with a racing-themed visual on YouTube, although it wasn't made available on streaming platforms. The track built strong anticipation ahead of the album's full release. Accompanying the music, Cactus Jack launched a fresh line of merchandise. Fans can explore new apparel and physical formats such as CD and vinyl bundles, some featuring alternate cover art, on Travis Scott's official website. The original JACKBOYS compilation debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and JACKBOYS 2 aims to follow that success. Since 2019, Travis Scott's momentum has only grown. In 2025, he headlined Coachella's second night, earned another Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 with 4x4, and made surprise appearances at WWE events, including WrestleMania.
