"Astroworld 8/3/18," tweeted Scott, who punctuated his post with several emojis, including two globes and a spaceship. In addition to the Friday release date, Scott also tantalized fans with an album trailer. Dubbed "Astroworld Trailer (Stargazing)," Scott is found exploring a snowy planet named after his forthcoming album. With his Auto-Tune vocals drilled tightly around the hard-hitting teaser, the young virtuoso can be heard singing lines like, "We propelling, on top with Ellen."<doc-sep>Travis Scott’s third studio album Astroworld is set to be released at 9 p.m. Pacific time on Thursday and midnight Eastern time on Friday. If that is too late for you to stay awake, you can stream and listen to it at your convenience. Generally, albums become available around midnight EST on streaming platforms like Apple Music and Spotify. This has been the case for Scott’s previous releases, 2015’s Rodeo and 2016’s Birds In the Trap Sing McKnight. On occasion, these platforms will throw a curveball at listeners. Take Kanye West’s recent album ye for example. It was originally scheduled for release at midnight on June 1, but it wasn’t made available until the following afternoon. A similar thing happened with Drake’s recent double album Scorpion. While it was released at the proper time on Apple Music, the album wasn’t made available until 3 a.m. EST for Spotify users. For details on how to stream the album, click below. Scott announced the album’s release date last week, along with the artwork for the standard and deluxe versions. There has yet to be an official tracklist, but the rapper has released several promo singles and buzz tracks. In May 2017, he uploaded three tracks to SoundCloud: “A Man“, “Green and Purple” featuring Playboi Carti and “Butterfly Effect”. The latter was also released on Apple Music, but it was later confirmed to be a non-album single.

Mike Dean, a longtime collaborator of both Scott and West, also contributed to the album’s sonic direction. Dean broke the news during a Twitter Q&A on July 28. When one fan asked “Is Astroworld gonna change lives?” the musician said: “You’re gonna s**t your f**king pants.” @therealmikedean said it. August 3rd, we’re all going to be shitting our pants. pic.twitter.com/zj9MnQbgpT — Ramirez Palabra ૐ (@TheMissingElmnt) July 28, 2018 Scott, who began his career as a producer, is said to be extremely hands-on with the album. According to Billboard, he often doesn’t credit himself with production, preferring to led his collaborators receive the praise. “As a producer, I used to hate it when people tried to take credit for my shit,” he explained. “Sometimes, being an artist might overshadow the producer, and I’m always for the producer.” Scott also spoke about the creative process behind the album. “I worked so hard on Rodeo and Birds,” he said. “It might not have been recognized by the masses, but my fans always went hard. This year I’m on a mission to be heard.” He also said that West helped shape the final tracklist. “I played him some joints,” he revealed. “We’re always talking. We’re always working on s**t. I see him every day.”<doc-sep>Travis Scott's .wav Radio show on Beats 1 will return this Friday, according to the rapper's DJ, Chase B. Travis' third studio album Astroworld will arrive at midnight, with the broadcast to follow sometime during the day, though a time has not been set. The radio show was first broadcasted in August 2016 with special guest Seth Rogen. Travis' sophomore album Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight, later premiered on the show. It has since been on a hiatus. In an interview with Zane Lowe last week, Travis said that the radio show was "definitely coming back." It is unclear if it will continue after the episode for the Astroworld release date. Travis announced the Astroworld release date earlier this week. He revealed the name of the project two years ago, even prior to the release of Birds In The Trap, which has caused much impatience in his fanbase. In May, he shared the single "Watch" with Kanye West and Lil Uzi Vert. He has performed another song "Stargazing" live over the last few months. The rapper recently spoke of the project's genesis in an interview with Zane Lowe. "My whole idea was, if you locked into Rodeo, you definitely locked into Astroworld," he said. "I’m just finishing the saga I started on my first album. This is supposed to be my second album. I had to go quick, because like I said, I had all these ideas, I just had to get off real quick, but now I’m finally back home with Astroworld."<doc-sep>
