    Gave him so much mainstream he had to run back to Atlanta for multiple classic singles and projects for years and still do. Fein, Type S***, Cinderella, Stuff, Trance

    “run back to Atlanta” these are his peers lmao

    The same way you don’t want people to be disingenuous about TIs impact, you should know that TIs impact also includes placing Travis around these artists at the beginning of his career

    It was just a joke and a continued observation as if you look at the Travis songs that remain his most played today, it’s when he decides to revert back to ATL artists and their influences as opposed to digging further down his own path

  • obviously TI, Travis owes 100% of his success to Atlanta artists he met through TI

    Travis would still be struggling to get his second album out at this point if TI hadn’t signed him first

  • Free YoungBoy

    It’s Ye. The Kanye association and being a GOOD Music artist did more for him than being a Grand Hustle artist. Features on cruel summer, producing a couple songs for Yeezus, etc.

    Even Soulja Boy said when Migos first met Travis they werent fw him and he had to tell them that’s Kanye’s artist yall need to fw him

    name the songs he produced on Yeezus

    he’s only credited on Yeezus for tweaking drums on a few songs, no actual production aside from that

    if travis didn’t have that grand hustle backing he woulda just been another theophilus london. TI the reason he had that thug/migos/future connection early on

    TI did a lot for artists in the early 10’s other artists take credit for

  • Kdogone

    So basically based off the thread TI did the actual behind the scenes work putting Travis in position and Kanye gave Travis clout among rap fans?

    Travis was only ever signed to ye as a producer, and he didn’t even produce anything for GOOD

    TI did everything for Travis while ye got the credit

  • first time i heard travis was sin city so Ye

  • Preme55_

    Dumbass question bro Travs whole aesthetic was Kanye

    Oh word yeah I agree

    But also with Travis “his own path” has always been ATL influence with Kanye-esque grandeur. So unless you’re talking features, his most played songs definitely still uphold the style he had been cultivating early on

    I mean, there is a specific Travis sound he’s scared to lean into cause it can get corny and it’s that bubbly Butterfly Effect, Highest In The Room, Watch sound he was cultivating.

    He’s shifted away from it but that was uniquely him. Pick Up the Phone etc. as much as Thug was on that song, the sound was Travis’ imo and also shoutout Jamie XX ofc

    This was before that tho

    For me personally, Travis was attached to TI for the longest until Cruel Summer
