With Jackboys 2, Travis Scott ’s back in full control, steering the Cactus Jack ship through high tides and side-eye industry shots with the calm of a man who’s already mapped out ten moves ahead. The visuals for “Kick Out” dropped this week, and if you were expecting a chest-pounding rebuttal to Clipse’s slick jabs on Let God Sort ‘Em Out, forget it. Travis is out fishing — literally — letting the line sit while the heat tries to catch him.
“Kick Out” feels deceptively chill. On the surface, it’s all soft colors and serene settings, but the bars hit different when you listen close. “If this sh*t get complicated, you get kicked out,” Travis warns, with 21 Savage’s ad-libs ghosting in the background like a silent partner with a loaded stare. There’s no hook-heavy pop ambition here, just mood, menace, and a flex that doesn’t need volume to land.
The song lives in that signature Travis Scott zone — hazy synths, skittering hi-hats, a flow that’s part melody, part murmur. He isn’t reinventing himself; he’s refining his comfort zone into a palace. The threats aren’t barked; they’re whispered with a smirk, like he’s playing the villain in a luxury-brand anime.
And Jackboys 2? It’s stacked. The roster flexes deep: Don Toliver, SoFayGo, Sheck Wes, and a roll call of guests that reads like a Coachella wishlist — Playboi Carti, Kodak, GloRilla, Future, even Vybez Kartel and SahBabii make appearances. Travis keeps the spotlight moving, but the focus stays sharp: this is a crew record, but the captain’s hand is on the wheel the whole way through.
Then there’s the Harmony Korine collab — a companion film already teased that’ll likely push the visual envelope even further. If Aggro Dr1ft was the fever dream, this one might be the hallucination that lingers after.
