Justin Bieber, Kanye West, The Weeknd, & More Featuring On Travi$ Scott’s ‘Rodeo’ Album
Rapper Travi$ Scott’s upcoming Rodeo album debut reportedly features Kanye West, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, 2 Chainz, Future, ScHoolboy Q, and Juicy J. The record is set for release on September 4.
The reveal arrived via a post shared by the RodeoTheAlbum Twitter account on Thursday. The account isn’t verified but links to Travi$ Scott’s official website, which is counting down to the album’s arrival. Three seemingly credible users tweeted out similar information, one citing an unnamed source.
“I have been sent the Rodeo tracklist. If this tweet reaches 250 RT’s I will post it,” teased the RodeoTheAlbum account before dishing on the guest artists news, and subsequently deleting this tweet.
Reaching that threshold within two hours, the same account tweeted, “Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Future, The Weeknd, 2 Chainz, Juicy J and ScHoolboy Q will all be featured on Rodeo.”

Although one of the Twitter users, Def Pen Radio’s Travis Grier, subsequently deleted his tweet claiming “a little bird” had confirmed the Justin Bieber feature, another user posted the following.
"'Rodeo' features a huge selection of guest appearances from Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Future, The Weeknd, 2 Chainz, Juicy J and Q."

Another Twitter user claimed to have heard Bieber’s feature with Travi$, enthusing with an emoji that it was fire.

Bieber’s spot on Travi$’ big name-boasting album certainly explains why Scott appeared on the Canadian superstar’s ongoing celebrity-assisted countdown to his upcoming new single “What Do You Mean,” which touches down August 28.

The Biebs is well known for his love of hip-hop and R&B. Over his career, he has worked with Usher, Sean Kingston, Big Sean, Chance The Rapper, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, fellow Canadian Drake, Future, and Nicki Minaj.
In 2013, Bieber dropped his R&B Journals collection. It received some positive reviews but was not widely perceived as a success, and was not officially released or promoted by the then-Island Def Jam Music Group label.

Thursday also saw Scott tweet out the pre-order link and cover art for his hotly anticipated Rodeo album. One of the two covers showed the rapper as an action figure standing atop a toy monster truck.
The pre-order also reveals Rodeo will feature 16 songs, including the previously released “Antidote” and “3500” featuring 2 Chainz and Future.

Scott later updated that Rodeo pre-orders are now available everywhere and sent out promo for The Weeknd’s “The Madness Fall Tour,” which kicks off in November and will support his upcoming second album, Beauty Behind the Madness. Travi$ and Banks will be joining the tour. See details here and here.
With Justin Bieber, Kanye West, The Weeknd, 2 Chainz, Future, ScHoolboy Q, and Juicy J, each bringing hoped-for heat on Travi$ Scott’s Rodeo album, this should be some hella debut.
