Travis Scott’s highly anticipated new track “4×4” made its debut during the college football championship halftime show, and the hosts of the Club Ambition podcast were quick to weigh in on the performance. While the song’s hard-hitting beat and impressive production stood out, some hosts voiced concerns about Scott’s live delivery, speculating that the studio version—expected to drop soon—might sound cleaner and more polished.
The conversation quickly shifted from the song’s performance to its broader rollout strategy. The hosts were impressed by how Scott has positioned “4×4” for success, with a logo designed specifically for the song and a performance that took place atop the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta—on one of the biggest stages possible. One host pointed out the song’s catchy hook, “4×4, my windows up,” predicting that its infectious rhythm would likely make it a fan favorite in sports arenas across the country.
As the discussion evolved, the hosts took a deeper dive into Scott’s musical trajectory, reflecting on his recent album Utopia and the apparent shift in his sound. There was some debate about whether Scott had strayed from his experimental roots, with a few hosts suggesting he’s embraced a more minimalistic style in his lyrics. However, despite these mixed opinions, everyone agreed that the production on “4×4” is top-notch, and Scott’s unique style continues to captivate listeners.
As the clip came to an end, the hosts playfully debated their preferences in hip-hop music, with some championing Travis Scott’s current sound while others brought up artists like Playboi Carti as possible competitors in the space. The clip wraps up with a promo for the full episode, inviting listeners to tune in for more insights and reactions.
