“The Scotts” by The Scotts (Travis Scott & Kid Cudi)

The Scotts is a new crew, actually a duo, consisting of Travis Scott and Kid Cudi (whose real name is Scott Mescudi). So this song serves as sort of an introductory track for their collective. And in a lot of ways, as one would expect, it is braggadocious in nature, though not excessively so. Indeed Travis Scott’s verse seems to focus primarily on the widespread influence he and his homeys have in the ‘hood. And Kid Cudi’s lyrics flow along a similar vein, though he seems to make more of an effort to drop allusions to his wealth. 

But the overall theme of this track is apparently “The Scotts” presenting themselves as influential and powerful dudes. Moreover they are the types to make sure that their close associates are taken care of, which makes their respective teams stronger overall.
