Travis Scott has announced the latest signing to his Cactus Jack label and it should come as no surprise to fans who have been paying close attention.

After formally announcing his JACKBOYS 2 project, it was revealed that West Coast rapper and Kendrick Lamar collaborator Wallie the Sensei would be featured on the compilation, the only non-Cactus Jack signee on the album.

However, shortly afterwards, it was revealed that Wallie had inked a deal with the Houston superstar’s label, hence why he is on JACKBOYS 2.

Wallie is yet to publicly react to inking the record contract but has been encouraging fans on social media to pre-order JACKBOYS 2.

As well as an album, JACKBOYS 2 will be accompanied by a film directed by Harmony Korine, who previously worked with Scott on experimental action movie Aggro Dr1ft and his Circus Maximus anthology in 2023.

A synopsis on the poster says of the film: “Fast cars, bright lights and one shot to make it out. JACKBOYS 2 brings Travis Scott and the crew back into the fire – where every move echoes with risk.”

Wallie the Sensei will also star in the movie alongside Sheck Wes, Don Toliver, Chase B and Sofaygo.

Fans were previously hopeful that JACKBOYS 2 would drop before the end of April to coincide with Scott’s birthday (April 30).

In a birthday message to his mother, Scott teased that the album would be arriving imminently.

While Scott’s birthday came and went without the album dropping, it is now available for pre-order along with various pieces of new merchandise.

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 with the short but sweet seven track project going straight to the top of the Billboard 200.
