Travis Scott is feeling inspired after the arrival of last year’s Utopia and the Grammy-nominated album’s subsequent tour.
La Flame took to his Instagram Stories on Tuesday (Feb. 20), letting fans know he’ll be back with new tunes and how much he’s still in love with the grind that comes with creating music.
“I love music so f–king much,” he wrote. And for the record. We will be backkkkkk. I gotta kick a new gear since they think it’s play time.” Previous posts to his Story include him bumping Rodeo tracks such as “Wasted” and “Nightcrawler” with Swae Lee.

It’s unclear who Scott is referencing as “they,” but one of his fan pages believes it to be a shot at the Recording Academy for snubbing him at the Grammy Awards. La Flame’s Utopia lost in the best rap album category to Killer Mike’s Michael project at the Feb. 4 ceremony.
When it was revealed during the Grammys pre-show that Mike had won, Scott headed to X and tweeted out a raised-eyebrow emoji.

In 2018, Scott was visibly upset after his cinematic Astroworld lost in the same category to Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy. In his Netflix documentary, Look Mom I Can Fly, the “SICKO MODE” rapper walked off upon learning the news and was cursing to himself.
As far as what’s ahead, Scott could have another Cactus Jack compilation on his mind as he saluted his Cactus Jack signee Don Toliver: “Bring that s–t down, DT. What we doing?” he added in another IG Story. “Whole cactus gang are snapppers.”
Following Astroworld, the Houston rager turned to his JACKBOYS label compilation project in 2019, which featured standouts such as the Pop Smoke-assisted “GATTI” among the seven tracks.
A turbulent five-year journey — which included Scott’s tragic 2021 Astroworld Festival, during which 10 people died — then led Trav to his Utopia project in August 2023.
The highly anticipated LP earned him another No. 1 atop the Billboard 200 with 496,000 total units sold in the first week, the most of any hip-hop album released last year. All 19 tracks debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 as well.
