Travis Scott Removes 21 Savage Feature Without Warning

Ever since JACKBOYS 2 dropped on July 13, it’s been a goldmine for viral moments. GloRilla’s unhinged ad-libs on “SHYNE?” Legendary. The fan-made “Bop It?” Already in the Hall of Fame. Even the album’s release timing—going head-to-head with Clipse—had the streets whispering. The biggest plot twist so far, though? A silent edit that left 21 Savage out in the cold.

The people spoke — and La Flame listened

On the original version of “KICK OUT,” 21 Savage popped up for a little uninvited yap session during Travis’s verse. People were not feeling it. Cue X posts begging La Flame to hit mute.

And apparently, Travis did. Just one day after the album dropped, listeners noticed something... different. The majority of 21’s ad-libs? Gone. His feature? Also gone. While we’re here, “DUMBO” got a stealth mixing update too. The internet quickly connected the dots: 21 literally got kicked out of “KICK OUT.”

Sure, a few people tried to defend him in the IG comments, but let’s be real—most were too busy laughing. It was a rare moment of fan feedback actually shaping a major album drop, and the outcome was messy... in a satisfying way.

While 21 has yet to comment on the update, Travis isn’t slowing down. He dropped three new deluxe tracks — including his song “Da Wizard” — on July 15, and JACKBOYS 2 is projected to move 253K units in its first week. On top of that, it’s gunning for the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200, meaning Scott might’ve gotten his get back at Pusha T after all.

Metro Boomin’s ‘Futuristic Summa’ Mixtape: What’s Actually Confirmed

Metro Boomin has been keeping himself busy since last year, dropping two albums with Future (with one of them containing the highly explosive track “Like That” with K. Dot), going on a 27-date trek with Future to promote the albums, and even launching his own comic book series called The Metroverse. However, it was time to get back to the music and give fans what they have been waiting for — just in time for “summa.”

Metro’s back in his mixtape era

On July 15, the producer officially dropped the cover art for his upcoming mixtape A Futuristic Summa (dropping on July 22).

On July 15, Metro dropped the cover art, and of course, it’s loaded with Easter eggs for the rap nerds. There’s a pixelated nod to his HEROES & VILLAINS era, a slick “Boominati Don’t Trust You” reference, and even two kids wearing tribute tees for Takeoff and Young Scooter — artists Metro’s worked with on tracks like “Bad and Boujee” and “Jugg Season.”

The tape will reportedly feature 20 tracks, and the first single —“Slide” featuring Roscoe Dash—already dropped on the Fourth of July (Yes, Roscoe Dash. 2025 is full of surprises). So far, Quavo and JMoney are confirmed, and DJ Spinz is officially hosting the whole thing, because when Metro says mixtape era? He means mixtape era. He and Spinz go way back — they were co-producing Future’s “Honest” over a decade ago, and now they’re back in sync.

However, Metro is apparently featuring an “all-new cast” of collaborators on this project, so we might not see any new Thugga, 21 Savage, or Future tracks.

For those hoping that his collab project with J.I.D would drop first, keep your hope alive. It apparently is still in the works, according to the rapper.

“When the work is there, you gon’ see. You gon’ know exactly what it is…I’m not going to tease and say ‘hey,’ no, this is it. I promise when it’s presented, you’re going to understand exactly what it is. There’s not going to be so much of a mystery around it…” J.I.D told Complex in April.

The tracklist’s a mystery. The features are being drip-fed. But the hype? Fully activated. If Metro brings the same heat he did last year, A Futuristic Summa might be less of a mixtape and more of a declaration: he’s not just the producer behind the scenes anymore. He’s the whole headline.

Are y’all excited for A Futuristic Summa?
