To kick off the new year in style, Playboi Carti has unleashed his latest collaboration with Travis Scott, titled “BACKR00MS.” The track, slated to be part of Carti’s upcoming third studio album, takes a unique approach by bypassing traditional streaming platforms, offering exclusivity as a music video on YouTube.
The release of “BACKR00MS” was announced through a video clip featuring British artist Blackhaine enthusiastically proclaiming, “New music, Carti, Travis Scott, dropping f*cking today.” Following their previous collaboration on “FE!N,” the music video for this latest joint effort boasts an evocative lo-fi aesthetic. The visual narrative seamlessly transitions between scenes set in an office environment and pulsating, light-lit moments around a black SUV tank. Complementing the visuals, the track itself is a captivating blend of arresting beats and melodic interludes, with both artists delivering hard-hitting verses.
