Perhaps Owl Pharaoh’s sole drawback is that it still doesn’t quite seem to answer the question “Who exactly is Travi$ Scott?”. Luckily for him, this incredibly cohesive debut is so mesmerizing that everyone should want to find out.

Back when Travis was Travi$ and he wasn't using his trademark auto-tune, 2013. The way years fly by is insane.

"Owl Pharaoh", although not his first tape, is Houston rapstar Travis Scott's MAINSTREAM debut, where he doesn't record with his high school classmates and he is steadily forming his now iconic style.

Best songs: upper echelon, uptown, hell of a night
worst songs: chaz interlude, naked
