Travis Scott, Escape Plan | Track Review 🎵

Grammy-nominated rapper Travis Scott ‘brings the heat’ on his short but potent banger, “Escape Plan.”

“T

welve-figure estate plan, that was the escape plan.” Woo! It’s been a few quiet years for 🏆 Grammy-nominated rapper 🎙 Travis Scott.  His last album arrived in 2018, 💿 ASTROWORLD.  Sure, he’s had a no. 1 hit single post-ASTROWORLD (🎵 “Franchise”), but the buzz didn’t last too long.  Scott returns with two new singles, 🎵 “Escape Plan” and 🎵 “Mafia”.  Both singles are worthwhile listens.

“Prolly soaking up her panties, nasty when she off the –
Bust a move, I’m Marco Angie, I just went and bought a planet.”

Travis Scott keeps things short though ultimately sweet on “Escape Plan.”  It runs just two-and-a-half-minutes long but that’s sufficient for Mr. Scott.  Starting with the production (🎛 OZ and 🎛 Nik D), “Escape Plan” features lick drum programming (trap beat), moody synths, and is set in a minor key (c minor to be exact).  The sound is a menacing vibe and plays to Scott’s strengths.  He delivers his typical, agile, confident, and relatively easy-going flow.  Honestly, I’m convinced that Travis never breaks a sweat despite bringing the heat (“That WAP need draining, just have it if you singing, okay”).  Expectedly, we hear the “it’s lit!” ad-lib – would be a T.S. song without it, right? The crowning achievement, of course, is the melodic, rhythmic chorus:

“Twelve-figure estate plan, that was the escape plan
But hate investigatin’, that shit was a waste, man
But wait, I stopped the facin’ ‘cause shit just started erasin’
But wait, it opened gates and this shit just started paradin’, olé (let’s go).”

Final Thoughts 💭

No, Travis Scott doesn’t change the world with “Escape Plan,” but he does muster up a banger that’s short but sweet.  I mean, referencing 🎵“WAP” is enough to get anybody’s attention, right? Day-um right!
