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
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
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

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
Ye…never seen ti with Travis till after cruel summers kilhoffer found Travis which is ye engineer so that connection between ye and Travis was always gonna happen
Style don’t mean much lol. TI was approving s*** for him even Kanye couldn’t
TI wouldnt have s*** to approve without Trav having a style (Kanyes). First project anybody heard of Travis was Cruel Summer bro what 😆
I knew Travis as a Grand Hustle artists before a GOOD one
How we gonna forget this?

kanye
actually forgot he was signed to ti at one point till this thread

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
TI wouldnt have s*** to approve without Trav having a style (Kanyes). First project anybody heard of Travis was Cruel Summer bro what 😆
Actually it wasn’t you dumbass nigga
It was Dreamchasers 2 dropped by a huge Grand Hustle artist 5 months before Cruel Summer and it was on a song before a huge Kendrick feature at the time
