Jackboys 2, the long-awaited Cactus Jack compilation led by Travis Scott, is now out, featuring Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, and SoFaygo. The release comes amid rising tension between Scott and rapper Pusha T, who recently criticized Travis on the new Clipse track “So Be It.”

Pusha, in a GQ interview, criticized Travis for flaunting his alliance with Pharrell during the Utopia rollout, only to feature Drake on the same album—where Drake delivered a verse dissing Pharrell and Clipse. Pusha didn’t hold back, calling Travis “a whore” with no loyalty or moral standard.

While Scott had previously remained silent, the new project seems to offer a subtle response. The opening track, “Champain & Vacay,” features Don Toliver and ad-libs from Waka Flocka Flame. Toward the end of his verse, Scott raps: “Man these old n-ggas kill me/Know my YNs feel me… Blue Bugatti, dodgin TMZ/Made a hundred off of pushin tees/Now my phone on DND.” The wordplay alludes to Pusha’s name while portraying him as an aging critic. The “dodgin TMZ” lyric appears to reference a line from “So Be It,” where Pusha warns Travis he's lucky he didn’t “TMZ it”—hinting at a potentially damaging video.

The album opens with narration from Bun B and spans 17 tracks. No other lyrics directly mention Pusha, Clipse, or Pharrell, indicating Travis may be shrugging off the feud. Observers also noted that Scott announced the album just two days before release—timed to coincide with Clipse’s long-planned Let God Sort Em Out, possibly setting up a streaming showdown.

Ahead of the release, Pusha and his brother Malice addressed the timing in a Breakfast Club interview, encouraging fans to compare both records.

Jackboys 2 also features appearances from Future, Playboi Carti, 21 Savage, GloRilla, Kodak Black, Tyla, and Vybz Kartel.
