The long-awaited Cactus Jack compilation album features 17 tracks, includes collaborations with GloRilla, 21 Savage, Tyla, and more, and will be released this Sunday at midnight.
[Los Angeles, US], July 11:
Rapper and producer Travis Scott has officially confirmed the release of JackBoys 2, the latest compilation album from Cactus Jack Records, set to drop at midnight on Sunday, July 13. The announcement was made Thursday night via his social media channels, accompanied by bold new promotional artwork and album details.
“The Jack is back with 17 tracks full of trunk-rattling classics in the making,” reads the album’s promo art.
Hosted by Southern rap legend Bun B, the project promises a high-octane blend of sounds and voices, true to the collaborative and genre-blending spirit of the original JackBoys release in 2019.
🎵 What to Expect From JackBoys 2
The new album follows the recent release of the lead single “2000 Excursion”, featuring Don Toliver and Sheck Wes, setting the tone for what fans can expect: bass-heavy anthems and punchy verses rooted in modern trap and melodic rap.
In addition to Don Toliver and Sheck Wes, JackBoys 2 is expected to feature appearances from:
- GloRilla
- Vybez Kartel
- 21 Savage
- Tyla
The full 17-track lineup is expected to drop on major streaming platforms alongside digital and physical variants, currently available for pre-order on Travis Scott’s official website.
🚨 Breaking Industry Norms
Travis Scott is among a growing list of major hip-hop artists abandoning the traditional Friday release model. Much like Tyler, the Creator, who released his 2023 album Chromakopia on a Monday, Scott’s Sunday release strategy is aimed at engaging fans more deeply during the week, rather than being lost in the noise of weekend drops.
This move signals Scott’s desire to reset the listening experience, encouraging a more immersive, focused reception for the album.
📀 Legacy and Anticipation
JackBoys 2 arrives over five years after the release of the original JackBoys compilation, which featured guest spots from Lil Baby, Quavo, Rosalia, Pop Smoke, and Young Thug—the latter appearing on the triple-platinum hit “Out West.”
This will be Travis Scott’s first full project since his 2023 album Utopia, which achieved double-platinum status and was one of the highest-selling records of the year.
With Bun B hosting, a stacked lineup of features, and a bold release date, JackBoys 2 is poised to be a major cultural moment and one of the most talked-about drops of the summer.
As the clock ticks down to the July 13 midnight release, JackBoys 2 is already generating serious buzz across the hip-hop community. Whether you’re a longtime Cactus Jack fan or just diving into Travis Scott’s universe, this high-powered, feature-rich compilation is shaping up to be one of 2024’s most anticipated music releases.
