It's lit! Travis Scott is back with new music.

On Thursday evening (April 23), the Houston rapper dropped a new track titled "The Scotts" featuring Kid Cudi, with help from Fortnite, after recently announcing his partnership with the game. The record is produced by Daytrip, Dot Da Genius and Plain Pat, with co-production by Travis Scott and Mike Dean.

"We see the hype outside, right from the house (Uh)/Took it straight from outside (Yeah), straight to the couch," Travis raps on the dreamy yet turnt record. "We put the mic outside (Yeah, ah), air that shit out (Mm)/You lettin' The Scotts outside (Yeah), we runnin' the scouts (Mm)."

Cudi utilizes the same cadence for his contribution to the cut.

"Nigga, the cops outside (Yeah), lock up the house (Yeah, yeah)/We keep the team on high, some gold in they mouth (Yeah, yeah)," Cudder rhymes. "Nigga, the Porsche outside (Woo), without the top (Yeah, yeah, yeah)/She runnin' the most outside (Yeah, yeah), bringin' the shots (Yeah, yeah, yeah)."

This isn't the first collaboration between Scott and Cudi, who paired up on "Through the Late Night" off La Flame's 2016 album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight. The rappers also share the name Scott, as that is Travis' last name in his rap moniker and Kid Cudi's first of his government name.

On Tuesday (April 21), it was revealed that in conjunction with Fortnite, Travis Scott and his Cactus Jack crew would be giving fans a virtual once-in-a-lifetime concert experience. The "Astronomical" performance will take place tonight at 7 p.m. ET within the actual game. As previously announced, the waiting room for Fortnite players opened 30 minutes prior to the  experimental concert taking place.

And lastly, a final show for the Americas will take place on Saturday at 6 p.m. ET.
