Background
When Travis was doing an interview with Billboard about the album and how he linked with Kendrick Lamar for “Goosebumps” he said:
“ | I met him at the MTV Video Music Awards one year and he came up to me and was just like, "Yo, man, I f--k with your music. It’s super dope and inspirational." I was like, whoa, this is the best rapper in the globe -- he f--ks with my music! That’s one of the things that made me want to keep working on my music and try to keep it going 'cause I’m not the most rappity rap ass n---a. That’s not me but I really love Kendrick’s music. I really love André's music. I really love ‘Ye’s s--t. I really love Jay’s s--t. I like rappers. It’s just dope that these dudes came to La Flame’s world to get down on some ill beats.[2] | ” |
