Kanye West might be on a redemption tour. Travis Scott brought out the old Ye at his show in Japan, and the crowd went crazy.

According to Hip Hop N More, Travis Scott was in the Land of the Rising Sun for his Circus Maximus Stadium Tour. His performance was well-received as soon as he started his first song. Cactus Jack took ticket holders through a medley of his biggest hits and even tracks that only hardcore fans could probably sing line by line.

Midway into the evening, the stage lighting was turned off and the music stopped. Out of nowhere, the opening keys from “Runaway” started playing, which sent the crowd into a frenzy. Shortly after Kanye West came out wearing an all black outfit with his face covered.

Needless to say, the surprise electrified everyone at the Belluna Dome in Tokyo. He proceeded to perform a mini-set of his tracks, which included “Stronger” and “All of the Lights,” all the while being backed up by Travis Scott. Kanye then proceeded to add yet another memorable moment to the surprise appearance when he took off his mask at the end of “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.”

In recent weeks, the world has been treated to a more intentional Kanye West. Not long ago, the Chicago native sat down with Israeli Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto and apologized for his antisemitic behavior.

“It’s a big deal for me as a man to come and take accountability for all the things that I’ve said,” Ye said. “And I really just appreciate you embracing me with open arms and allowing me to make amends. And this is the beginning and the first steps, and the first brick by brick to build back the strong walls.”

Travis Scott is not taking any chances with his new project. His security guard has been spotted handcuffed to a briefcase containing his new album.

As per on HipHopDX the Houston, Texas rapper has been in the studio working on his new LP. On Thursday, May 18 TMZ spotted him leaving a vinyl record store in Hollywood, California. While walking to his car he is seen being protected by an unidentified man bearing a fair resemblance to wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin. The man’s wrist was noticeably handcuffed to a brown leather briefcase bearing the name of Cactus Jack’s upcoming album Utopia.

While it is uncertain if the security detail is really responsible for safekeeping of the album, Travis Scott was also wearing some never seen before Nike’s also featuring Utopia branding. Thus, many music insiders claim this is all a clever ploy to tease his forthcoming fourth album. Back in February Epic Records CEO Sylvia Rhone was interviewed by Billboard Magazine and revealed that Travis Scott’s new album is indeed slotted for a June 2023 release. Additionally, producer Mike Dean recently shared a screenshot of a mixing session for the album. He later removed the photo from his social handles.
Travis Scott fans have been waiting for new music for close to four years. La Flame’s last album Astroworld was released on August 3, 2018. This effort spawned multiple hit songs including “Butterfly Effect”, “SICKO MODE”, and “Star Gazing”. It has since sold over three million units.
