Travis Scott‘s highly-anticipated compilation album JACKBOYS 2 could be set to drop as soon as this week.
As part of an Instagram post wishing his mother a happy birthday, Scott teased that fans could have her to thank for the imminent arrival of JACKBOYS 2.
He wrote: “EVERYONE WISH THE BIGGEST GOAT A HAPPYYYY BDAAAYYY THE QUEEEEN OF DIS HERE. MI MOMMMMMMMAAAAAAA LOVE YA MOOMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAA PS I PLAYED HERE JACKBOYS 2 SHE SAID DROP ON YOUR BDAY BABY JACK. !!!!!”
As fans may know, Scott’s birthday is April 30 (this Wednesday), meaning JACKBOYS 2 could just be 48 hours away if La Flame listens to his mother.
Scott has been teasing his label’s second compilation album heavily in recent weeks.
He recently wrote on social media: “Jackboys album brazy. I just threw up. Certified.”
Scott also said that he would be dropping the album before he went back to WWE, where he has been heavily involved of late.
Taking to Instagram with photos of his appearance at WrestleMania 41, Travis captioned them, “I DONT WANT A RECEIPT I WANT BLOOOODDD AFTER JACKBOYS 2 I NEEEEEDDD THAT.”
The first JACKBOYS album dropped at the end of 2019 and went straight to the top of the Billboard 200.
The seven-track project reached No. 1 by selling 154,000 album equivalent units, according to Nielsen Music. 79,000 of those copies came from pure album sales, but Billboard notes a majority of these sales came from merchandise/album bundles.
The album featured JACKBOYS artists Sheck Wes, Don Toliver and DJ Chase B as well as outside artists such as Young Thug, Quavo, Offset and Pop Smoke.
Scott also recently unveiled fresh solo music as part of his historic performance at Coachella earlier this month.
During the performance, he debuted a new song tentatively titled “She Goin Dumb” while the screens behind him displayed the message “New Shittttt.”
Scott later premiered another new track reportedly called “Oh Jacques,” with both songs continuing the rager aesthetic of his chart-topping Utopia album.
Travis did not reveal which album the two new songs will feature on, although he has teased both a new solo project and a second Jackboys compilation from his Cactus Jack label.

The multi-hyphenate entertainer has scored five new certifications, including a platinum plaque for “Issues/Hold On,” which has sold over one million equivalent units in the U.S. The Kanye West-produced track is lifted from her 2018 album, K.T.S.E., which has been crowned gold for selling over 500,000 equivalent units.
Taylor’s third LP, The Album, has also reached gold status, tallying her second project to become RIAA certified. The King Combs-assisted “How You Want It,” a single from The Album, has been certified platinum.
Last, but not least, Taylor’s “Do Not Disturb” featuring Chris Brown is now gold. The steamy jam appears on her 2014 debut album, VII.
Taylor took to social media to celebrate her new RIAA updates. “Father God I thank you and I praise you in the name of Jesus. Thank You for showing patience with me, your kindness, grace & mercy every day. Your mercies never cease,” she wrote in a caption for her photo of her with her new plaques.
She continued, “Father God, please continue to instruct and teach me as I continue my faith walk. Thank you for keeping my head high to keep my crown from falling. I love you. Thank you for reminding me the wait is not punishment, it was preparation. Thank you to everyone involved with helping me bring these albums and songs to life. I am filled with much gratitude! WE PLATINUM & GOLD YALL.”

Taylor directed and produced the visual under her production company, The Aunties. It co-stars LaKeith Stanfield and Aaron Pierre, who appear in the video for “Long Time” as well.
Further, Taylor joined Ciara on her “Ecstasy (Remix)” alongside Normani. “When Ci hit me about jumping on this remix, it was an automatic yes,” Taylor said. “To be a part of this moment with two queens I love so much! Not only do I get to call Ciara and Normani my friends I get to call them my sisters! That’s black girl magic. We bringing the sensual, the sisterhood, and the soul. Let’s go!”
