In 2012, Scott signed his first major-label contract with Epic Records and a publishing deal with Kanye West's GOOD Music. In April 2013, he signed a joint-recording contract with Epic and T.I.'s Grand Hustle imprint. Scott's first full-length project, the mixtape OWL PHARAOH, was self-released in 2013. It was followed with a second mixtape, Days Before Rodeo, in 2014. His debut studio album, Rodeo (2015), was led by the hit single "Antidote". His second album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight (2016), became his first number one album on the Billboard 200. The following year, Scott released a collaborative album with Quavo titled Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho under the group name Huncho Jack.
In 2018, his third studio album, ASTROWORLD, was released to critical acclaim and produced his first Billboard Hot 100 number one single, "SICKO MODE". In late 2019, Scott's record label Cactus Jack Records released the compilation album JACKBOYS, which topped the Billboard 200. After the release of his single "FRANCHISE (feat. Young Thug & M.I.A.)" in 2020, Scott became the first artist on the Hot 100 to have three songs debut at number one in less than a year.
Scott has gained notoriety for controversies and legal issues regarding safety at his concerts. In November 2021, a mass-casualty crowd crush occurred during Scott's performance at the Astroworld Festival in his hometown of Houston, Texas, killing ten people and injuring hundreds of others.
On July 28, 2023, Scott released his fourth studio album UTOPIA, which became his fourth consecutive number one album on the Billboard 200.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before you come outside I got the M4
Took her to the endzone from the ends, though
Know I love to smoke, you love to lick more
Wanna hit the Jack then what you call for?
All that out-your-name shit that ain't called for, um
Who that creepin'? Know the tint is dark (five percent)All that fall in love shit, gotta Kevin Hart (yeah, yeah)
All that speed and fly shit, we might teleport (skrr, skrr)
All that cop harass shit, I might clip a sarge (12)
Keep bouncin' that ass you just might get award (yeah)
If she bad, she get a pass into the tour (passes yeah)
I pick through the family, grab the bad sister like Janet
Opps outside, don't panic
Got a switch, gotta change up transit
Still jumpin' 'round move antsy
And I still don't like shit fancy
Up late feelin' real chancy
They outside really tryna end me (yeah)
Who's that creeping through my window? (my window)
Before you come outside I got the M4 (M4)
Took her to the endzone from the ends, though (yeah)

In “5% TINT,” Travi$ Scott is sending a message to his listeners that he is aware of his surroundings and the potential danger that lurks around him. His lyrics are a reflection of his fame and success, as he frequently mentions his wealth and luxurious possessions. At the same time, however, Scott acknowledges the risk of being a public figure, with strangers potentially invading his privacy and putting him in harm’s way.
The first verse opens with Scott asking the rhetorical question “Who's that creeping through my window?” – implying that he is suspicious of any potential intruders. He reinforces his assertion of self-protection by saying “Before you come outside I got the M4” – utilizing the metaphor of his rifle serving as a first line of defense. The second verse reiterates his awareness of danger, as he mentions “All that cop harass shit, I might clip a sarge (12)” – intimating he would harm a police officer if he felt threatened. The chorus reiterates the questions he poses in the first verse, amplifying the sense of paranoia building throughout the song.
The final verse introduces more graphic imagery, such as the razor in a woman’s lip and the potential surveillance from stalkers. In a way, “5% TINT” acts as a reflection of the dark underbelly of fame, with Travi$ Scott revealing his insecurities and the risks that come with success. While the song may seem braggadocious on the surface level, listening closely to the lyrics can reveal a much deeper, introspective perspective of Travi$ Scott's life.
