Although Williams hasn’t released a solo album in eight years, the last being his Grammy-winning sophomore LP Girl, the rapper-producer reunited with N.E.R.D. in 2017 for their fifth album No One Ever Really Dies. Earlier this month, Williams launched his digital-first luxury auction house and content platform Joopiter, which held a physical store opening in SoHo.

Travis Scott is easing back into music one year after ten people were killed during the 2021 Astroworld Festival in Houston. Earlier this year, Scott performed his latest solo songs “Mafia” and “Lost Forever” during the 2022 Billboard Music Awards, which will presumably appear on his fourth studio album Utopia. This week, the rapper settled a Astroworld Festival lawsuit which was filed on behalf of 120 clients, including 21-year-old Axel Acosta, who died during the fatal crowd surge. Per Houston’s KPRC-TV, a medical examiner listed Acosta’s death as “compression asphyxia.”
