Travis Scott and Cactus Jack officially announce 'JACKBOYS 2' with exciting teaser
Travis Scott is officially in album mode, and fans are getting more than they expected—confirmation of JACKBOYS 2. The highly anticipated sequel to his 2019 collective album has now been teased with a striking announcement. Projected onto the side of a building, bold text flashed in a jittery pattern, reading: "JACKBOYS 2 is on the way." Accompanied by audio booming over the speakers with the phrase, "What the fck is we doing?"* the teaser has set the internet ablaze. Scott's JACKBOYS imprint, featuring Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, and SoFaygo, dominated the charts with their self-titled compilation, becoming the first No. 1 album of the 2020s. Now, fans are eager to see how the group's sound has evolved over five years. This isn't the first time Scott has hinted at a sequel. During his 2024 performance at Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash, he gave credit to his labelmates, saying: "I'm nothing without Sheck Wes, I'm nothing without Don Toliver, I'm nothing without SoFaygo… We've been thinking about doing a 'JACKBOYS 2'." Don Toliver also fueled speculation earlier this year by reposting the original JACKBOYS trailer on Instagram, leading fans to believe an announcement was near. Months later, Scott has finally delivered. With his recent statement about pushing the boundaries of hip-hop, JACKBOYS 2 could mark another sonic evolution for the collective. Now, all eyes are on Scott and his team as fans anticipate the next chapter of JACKBOYS' reign.
