G.O.O.D. Music foot soldier and now Grand Hustle affiliate Travi$ Scott seems poised to deliver his highly anticipated Owl Pharaoh. First, though, he is dropping off the full version of the raucous “Upper Echelon”. After starting 2013 off with a bang, releasing “Quintana” and making this years XXL Freshmen class, Scott is continuing to build momentum with another banger from his debut. The record features T.I. and 2 Chainz and it seems equipped to both thump speakers and fill stadiums. Owl Pharaoh is due out this year. Listen to “Upper Echelon” below.

Very little has been heard of Travi$ Scott since his boisterous debut on last year’s Cruel Summer compilation. The enigmatic, 20-year-old Houston native has been hailed as somewhat of a second coming of Kanye West by some (he raps and produces), and simply the poor man’s version of the aforementioned artist by others. Now seemingly affiliated with the G.O.O.D. Music brand, Scott is prepping his highly anticipated Owl Pharaoh mixtape in an attempt to prove himself worthy of such a lofty comparison. Below are the visuals for a new song, “Quintana”, rumored to be a part of the project. Take a listen and get a feel for the Travi$ Scott sound before he attempts to deliver the goods.

Owl Pharaoh is due out later this year.
