Bun B kicks off JACKBOYS 2, claiming Houston is poised to become a major rap hub. The project attempts to address the lack of spotlight on Travis Scott's Cactus Jack artists, who have had limited solo success. The compilation features conventional trap and rage production, resulting in a sound that lacks innovation, leaving artists in supporting roles. Despite Travis Scott's immense commercial success since 2019’s Astroworld, his oversight of his label's talent has raised concerns over limited opportunities for growth and visibility within the roster.
Bun B heralds the potential of Houston becoming the next rap stronghold, emphasizing DJ Screw's influence and proclaiming that JACKBOYS 2 will convince the country of Houston's ascendancy.
Despite past tragedies and controversies, Travis Scott remains a dominant figure in rap, showcasing remarkable consistency in merchandise and ticket sales since his explosive rise after Astroworld.
JACKBOYS 2 aims to rectify Travis' perceived neglect of Cactus Jack artists, but the label's roster continues to play supporting roles, limiting their opportunity to shine.
The project predominantly features conventional trap and rage production, lacking the necessary quirkiness and individuality to elevate the talent pool of Cactus Jack artists.
