Days Before Rodeo is Travis Scott’s legendary 2014 mixtape that set the tone for his future dominance in hip-hop. Though technically a “prelude” to his debut Rodeo, it quickly became a fan-favorite and cult classic, known for its gritty sound, haunting production, and genre-defying ambition.

The mixtape showcases Travis sharpening his identity—melding atmospheric beats with a punk-like edge and melodic flows. Collaborations with Young Thug, Migos, T.I., and Rich Homie Quan add energy to tracks like “Mamacita” and “Sloppy Toppy,” while “Drugs You Should Try It” and “Skyfall” reveal a more vulnerable, psychedelic side.

From the cinematic opener “The Prayer” to the introspective closer “Grey,” Days Before Rodeo isn’t just a warm-up—it’s a bold statement of artistic intent. It bridged the underground and the mainstream, marking Travis Scott as a visionary capable of crafting his own world—moody, stylish, and entirely original.
