Earlier this year, the multi-platinum, diamond-certified Scott performed at the Grammy Awards, treating audiences to renditions of his tracks “My Eyes,” “Fe!n.” and “I Know” off his 2023 album Utopia, which was nominated for Rap Album of the year. In August, Scott dropped a 10th anniversary remaster of his mixtape Days Before Rodeo, bringing the album to streaming platforms for the first time. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and claimed the No. 1 spot in September. Scott’s Circus Maximus Tour is officially the highest-grossing rap tour of all time.
