Travis Scott to Re-Release ‘Days Before Rodeo’ Mixtape to Streaming Services for 10th Anniversary
After he announced yesterday during an appearance at Fanatics Fest that his mixtape “Days Before Rodeo” is coming to streaming for the first time, Travis Scott has officially revealed that the project will hit DSPs on Aug. 23 in honor of its 10th anniversary.
Scott initially released the 12-song set as a free prelude to his debut album “Rodeo.” He put out “Days Before Rodeo” on Aug. 18, 2014, almost a year before his official first project came out on Sept. 4, 2015. “Days” consisted of the singles “Don’t Play” featuring Big Sean and the 1975 as well as “Mamacita” featuring Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug. Additional guest appearances came from Migos, Peewee Longway and Young Thug, as well as production from Metro Boomin, Lex Luger, WondaGurl and more.
