Owl Pharaoh is the debut mixtape by American hip hop recording artist Travis Scott. The mixtape was released on May 21, 2013 for free by Grand Hustle Records and Epic Records. The mixtape had gone through various delays before a set date was confirmed by Scott himself, via an interview with DJ Semtex. The mixtape features guest appearances from T.I., Wale, 2 Chainz, Toro y Moi, A$AP Ferg, Theophilus London, Paul Wall, James Fauntleroy and Meek Mill.
In 2011, Scott announced Owl Pharaoh as an 11-track extended play, with 2 bonus tracks. This version was to include songs such as "Lights (Love Sick)", "Analogue" and "That B!tch Crazy". However, this was before Scott was scouted by highly acclaimed rappers and record executives T.I. and Kanye West. After working with the two, respectively, and reconstructing the project, Scott then announced Owl Pharaoh would be released the same month as GOOD Music's Cruel Summer (2012). However, that release did not occur. Scott then once again reworked on the project, and set a new date for February 22, 2013. Again, the project was not released.
After creating moderate buzz being named as a part of XXL Magazine's Freshman Class of 2013, Scott set another date for May 21, 2013, while also announcing that it will be for sale on iTunes soon after. He also stated that he might also release it for free prior to that date. Travis Scott has credited Kanye West, T.I. and Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon for helping him shape the project. For the mixtape Scott collaborated with artists such as Kanye West, T.I., 2 Chainz, Justin Vernon, Wale, Common, Toro y Moi, and Gunplay. The final track listing also revealed features from Theophilus London, A$AP Ferg, James Fauntleroy and Paul Wall. Common and Gunplay would not be featured.MTV revealed that Travis would be dropping the EP free of charge on May 21 and an iTunes release would be cancelled.
