Early life
Jacques Berman Webster II was born April 30, 1992, in Houston, Texas. He grew up in Missouri
City, a middle-class suburban area bordering southwest Houston. Webster lived with his
grandmother, but later moved to the suburbs, where his father ran his own business.[5] Webster
attended Elkins High School and graduated at seventeen.[6] Webster then attended the University
of Texas San Antonio, before dropping out his sophomore year to fully pursue his music
career.[7][8][9][10][11][12]

After dropping out, Webster immediately moved to New York City in an attempt to start his
music career. His parents, frustrated that he had dropped out of school, eventually cut him off
financially.[13]

Career
2008–12: Career beginnings and record deals

Webster formed a duo with his longtime friend Chris Holloway known as The Graduates. In
2008, the duo released their untitled first EP on social networking website Myspace.

The following year, Scott and OG Chess, one of Travis's schoolmates, formed the group The
Classmates. The Classmates released two projects, with Buddy Rich in 2009 and Cruis'n USA in
2010.[4] Scott mainly handled production work on both projects. The duo remained together until
late 2012, when personal conflicts and financial disputes led to the disbandment of the group.[14]

After leaving college, Scott moved from Houston to Washington, New York, where Scott began
working with friend Mike Waxx, who owned the music website Illroots. After moving to New
York, Scott slept on the floor at his friend's house and spent most of his time at Just Blaze's
studio. Eventually frustrated in New York and the lack of progression,[13] Scott moved to Los
Angeles, California, after only four months in the state.
In Los Angeles, Webster was abandoned by his friend who had promised to help him by
providing housing. His parents cut him off financially and he eventually was forced to relocate
back to Houston, where his parents kicked him out of their home. Webster moved back to Los
Angeles once again and began to sleep on the couch of a friend who studied at University of
Southern California.[15] Atlanta-based rapper and owner of Grand Hustle Records, T.I. would
later hear one of Webster's productions, titled "Lights (Love Sick)". While in Los Angeles, T.I.'s
representative contacted Webster, asking him to attend a studio for a meeting. During the
meeting, T.I. freestyled over "Animal", one of Webster's productions.

Scott's first solo full-length project is a mixtape titled Owl Pharaoh, which was set to be released
as a free download in 2012. However, the project was delayed, and was announced to be slated
for a later release. The project was later re-created[16] by Kanye West and Mike Dean, and was
then again delayed for sample clearance issues. In promotion Scott would release the track,
"Blocka La Flame", a remix of fellow GOOD Music label-mate Pusha T's single "Blocka"
(which features production and vocals from Scott). The song was produced by Young Chop, with
additional production by Scott himself, alongside Mike Dean. On March 22, 2013, Scott released
the music video for a song titled "Quintana", set to appear on Owl Pharaoh. The mixtape's
version of the song features guest vocals from fellow American rapper Wale, while the
production was handled by Scott himself, alongside Sak Pase and Mike Dean. On March 27,
XXL revealed that Scott was a member of their Freshman Class of 2013.[17] On March 29, 2013,
following his interview with British disc jockey, DJ Semtex, Scott premiered a snippet of his
commercial debut single, titled "Upper Echelon", featuring 2 Chainz and T.I. On April 2, 2013,
Scott stated Owl Pharaoh was his official debut mixtape and would be released on the iTunes
Store on May 21, 2013.[18] On April 23, 2013, "Upper Echelon" was sent to urban contemporary
radio.[19] The EP was released for free download.
Scott performing in 2014.

On March 13, 2014, Scott performed a new song, tentativs Twitter account that the song is not
called "1975", and would be included on his second mixtape, titled Days Before Rodeo.[20] He
would later take to his Twitter account to announce Rodeo, as the official title for his major-label
debut studio album.[21][22][23] On May 5, 2014, Scott released the full version of the song, with its
new title "Don't Play", featuring a sample of the song "M.O.N.E.Y" by the English rock band the
1975.[24][25] On July 11, 2014, "Don't Play" was officially released as the lead single from Days
Before Rodeo, via digital distribution.[26]

Following the success of Days Before Rodeo, Scott announced that he would headline a concert
tour, called The Rodeo Tour, with Rich Gang's rapper Young Thug and producer Metro Boomin.
The tour started on March 1, 2015, in Santa Ana, California, and ended on April 1, 2015, in
Portland, Oregon. The tour ran through major cities such as Denver, Colorado, Houston, Texas,
Chicago, Illinois, Detroit, Michigan, New York City, Atlanta, Georgia, Philadelphia, San Diego,
Los Angeles, San Francisco, California and Seattle, Washington. Second shows were added to
some cities such as Los Angeles and New York City, after his first shows had sold out too
quickly towards the eyes of his fans. Artists such as Kanye West, Chris Brown, Wale and
Birdman made special guest appearances in certain cities.[27] Scott's Rodeo Tour has been
acclaimed to be one of today's wildest rap tours.[28]

During an interview, Scott said, "I'm not doing it to have financial control over my music. I want

Scott makes heavy use of audio manipulation effects such as Auto-Tune, phasing, delays, and
stereo-sculpted chorusing and harmony structures,[66] predominantly influenced by producers
Mike Dean and Alex Tumay.[67] Scott's musical style has been described as a "blend between
traditional hip-hop and lo-fi"[68] and often characterized as "ambient";[66][69] Scott himself has
said "I'm not hip-hop".[64] Vulture described Scott's sound as "unremittingly dark, syncretic, hi-
res, and above all unnatural."[70]

Scott has said that he is a fan of Broadway theatre and would like to do an album of show tune
covers. He has said that he would like to write his own musical in future.[71][72][73]
