Travis Scott

This week, Josh and Fabs take on a very serious topic in the wake of the Astroworld Festival tragedy. In addition to the regular programming, the Kickback duo discuss what went down at Astroworld Fest and how the reaction to Travis Scott has been since.

As this is a highly emotional topic, we understand if some of you don’t feel able to listen to that segment. It starts at 19:30 and ends at 36:46 for those that want to skip over it. We felt it was necessary to discuss, due to the events’ significance within our culture. In no way do we want to disrespect any of the victims, their families, and the survivors of this tragedy.

The main topic covers hype and how real or fabricated that feeling of “got to have it” is. How much of hype is down to clever marketing by brands and how much of it is organic or authentic? The boys explore this and more in episode 19 of The Kickback Podcast.
