Whatever holiday-related nonsense you feel unfairly obligated to do tonight, go ahead and cancel it. Travis Scott and Quavo's long-teased collab project Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho will be available for consumption when the clock strikes midnight.
Scott and Quavo announced the release date and shared the Ralph Steadman–crafted cover art on their respective social media channels Thursday.
The latest Tweets from Huncho Jack (@hunchoxjack). Huncho Jack OUT NOW. Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho conveys exactly what fans might expect from two of the hottest trap rappers out. Soaring, robo-rhythmic tunes? Endless braggadocio? A seamless blend of vocoder-tinged singing and cocky flows? Check, check, Nike Swoosh. But don’t expect a structured, meticulous project.

Steadman, of course, previously provided his unique artistic services to Hunter S. Thompson for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, The Curse of Lono, and much more. Charlie Paul's 2012 documentary For No Good Reason chronicled Steadman’s prolific career and featured interviews with Johnny Depp, Terry Gilliam, and Jann Wenner.
Huncho Jack has been ruthlessly teased for pretty much the entire year. The heat picked up when Quavo confirmed the project had been sent off for mixing during an interview with Zane Lowe earlier this month. 'We've been sitting, marinating, working,' Quavo said at the time. 'It's done.'

The long-awaited collaboration project from Quavo and Travis Scott finally has a name.
Speaking with Zane Lowe of Beats 1, the Migos rapper confirmed the project will be called Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho--a play on the rapper's nicknames, Huncho (Quavo) and Cactus Jack (Travis). 'It's gonna be the biggest collab ever,' said Quavo. 'It’s done. It’s off for mixing. So you know when it’s done for mixing, it’s ready to go.”
While the 'Ice Tray' rapper is the first to officially confirm the project's title, producer Mike Dean actually leaked the name last week after posting a screenshot of files on his computer screen. A folder in the photo read, 'Huncho Jack.'
Quavo last discussed the project in September during an interview with Montreality. When asked about the record, the rapper said it was 'going to drop real soon' and revealed the two had recorded a ton of songs. 'We've been making a whole bunch of records; we got a lot of records together right now, we've probably got like 20 records, we just need to get some time and just sort 'em out.'
Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho isn't the only project in the works for Travis Scott. The Houston rapper is still gearing up for his next solo album, AstroWorld, which he had previously said was ready to release 'real soon.'
Check out Quavo discussing Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho below.
