Travis Scott’sUtopia will be better than Astroworld, Sheck Wes has said, who spoke highly of the project and said it’s “next level.”
Sheck was speaking with streamer Adin Ross, who asked the Cactus Jack signee straight up if Travis Scott’s highly anticipated upcoming project rivals that of his 2018 release Astroworld, which charted in its entirety on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

“Bro, I ain’t gonna lie, it’s so fire,” Sheck Wes said of the upcoming project. “One thing about my homie Travis, when it come to that music, man, I ain’t gon’ lie, he got that shit [whistles].”
He continued, “ASTROWORLD is a great album, but UTOPIA is going to the next level, man. I ain’t even front. That’s all I can say [whistles].”

“Utopia is something that people feel is so far-fetched and out of reach, some perfect state of mind,” he said. “But you create it yourself. There are people who achieve utopia every day. They may not be the richest people with the dopest cribs, but it’s a utopia wherever they are, and that’s the most you can have.
“With every album I live in these worlds in my mind — I’m trying to show people experiences where utopian things can exist, and you can enjoy yourself and have a good time. They can create energy that spews out magical things — new cures, new buildings, new avenues for people to move forward. People need to see that utopia is real.”
