Live Review: Travis Scott shares new single 'FRANCHISE' featuring M.I.A and Young Thug

The eagerly anticipated new single from Travis Scott, featuring M.I.A and Young Thug, is finally here.

TRAVIS SCOTT continues his hot streak making this year his with the release of a brand new single titled 'FRANCHISE'. Teaming up with none other than M.I.A and Young Thug, the single (which he's been teasing on socials for a few days now) is vintage Travis, featuring Chase B production and each rapper delivering formidable verses.

'FRANCHISE' comes after an already enormous year for Scott. He not only teamed up with McDonald's for the franchise's first celebrity-endorsed meal in decades, but also released the lead single for Christopher Nolan's Tenet. Further to that, he's made appearances on Rosalia's 'TKN', Kanye West's 'Wash Us In The Blood', and with Kid Cudi on 'The Scotts', as well as jumping on Big Sean's recent album, 'Detroit 2'.

The cover art for 'FRANCHISE' (pictured below) was done by George Condo, whose work has already been used by none other than Kanye West for the artwork around his 2010 masterpiece, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Further to the release of 'FRANCHISE', Travis Scott has also shared information regarding the accompanying visuals, co-signed by Nolan himself. Set to air in IMAXes worldwide, the vision of 'Franchise' and Scott's hugely developed artistry is unrivaled in 2020.
