Although Travis Scott's 'Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight' did not appear on its former drop date, the rapper is said to be making it up to some of his Los Angeles fans by throwing an album release event with the help of Apple Music.
The party will be completely free to enter and fans in attendance will get to see Travis Scott perform songs like 'Pick Up the Phone' and '90210' live. In order to generate more excitement among fans and promote the event, the rapper took to social media to apologize for his second full-length album's lateness, citing "technical difficulties" as the cause.
The event will also feature an installation by renowned artist James Turrell. The collaborative album release event seems to be a "confirmation of the deal first hinted at last month" between Travis Scott and Apple Music, reports Highsnobiety.
