2009-2012: Beginnings signing with Grand Hustle
Travi$ Scott started to produce beats at the age of 16, and then made his first musical relationship with long time friend, Christopher Jones named The Graduates. They released their first EP on Myspace in 2009. In 2010, he formed a duo with OG CHE$$, named The Classmates. They released two full projects, the first one named Buddy Rich, and the second named Cruis'n USA in 2011, with Travi$ producing all of the songs. After personal differences, OG CHE$$ and Travi$ broke up in late 2011.
Travi$ moved to Los Angeles from Texas after dropping out of college. Travi$, with help from his friend Mike Waxx, who owns the website Illroots, started to make and release music. T.I. listened to one of Travi$' songs named Lights (Love Sick) which he released while staying in Los Angeles, and contacted Travi$, asking him to come down to a studio. T.I. then freestyled a verse over one of Travi$' song, "Animal". Travi$ then acquired the phone number of Kanye West's engineer, Anthony Kilhoffer and organised a meeting which allowed him to play his music for him. Kilhoffer then took Travi$ under his wing, and through Kilhoffer, he met Kanye West while in New York. Travi$ worked with Kanye on his debut project, Owl Pharaoh, which has been delayed numerous times, and GOOD Music's debut compilation album, Cruel Summer. Travi$ co-produced the songs, "To The World", "The Morning" and "Don't Like", and also produced and contributed a verse to "Sin City". Travi$ has also directed a number of music videos, such as "Brake Lights" for fellow Very GOOD Beats labelmate, Hit-Boy.
