Travis Scott Signs Wallie the Sensei to Cactus Jack Ahead of Highly Anticipated ‘JACKBOYS 2’ Release
Travis Scott has officially welcomed a new name to the Cactus Jack roster — and for fans who’ve been watching closely, the reveal doesn’t come as much of a surprise. West Coast rapper Wallie the Sensei, best known for his collaborations with Kendrick Lamar and his gritty, melodic flow, is the latest signee to join Scott’s powerhouse label.
The announcement came in tandem with the unveiling of JACKBOYS 2, the long-awaited sequel to the 2019 Cactus Jack compilation album. Fans were quick to notice that Wallie was the only non-Cactus Jack artist listed on the tracklist — a curious detail that was quickly clarified when it was revealed he had signed to the label shortly before the album’s announcement.
Wallie the Sensei Joins the Jackboys Movement
Although Wallie has yet to make a public statement about the deal, he’s been promoting JACKBOYS 2 across his social media platforms, encouraging fans to pre-order the album and teasing behind-the-scenes moments from the project. The Compton rapper’s addition to the Cactus Jack family is a natural fit, bringing West Coast energy to a label already known for pushing sonic boundaries.
Wallie also joins the cast of the JACKBOYS 2 film — a new visual experience directed by Harmony Korine, who previously collaborated with Scott on Aggro Dr1ft and Circus Maximus in 2023. According to the movie’s synopsis, the film promises “fast cars, bright lights and one shot to make it out,” and features appearances from Sheck Wes, Don Toliver, Chase B, and Sofaygo alongside Wallie.
A Visual and Sonic Experience
JACKBOYS 2 isn’t just an album — it’s a full-scale multimedia event. The accompanying film adds a cinematic layer to the project, reinforcing Travis Scott’s reputation as not just a musician but a visionary creator. Known for turning album rollouts into global moments, Scott appears set to deliver another immersive experience with this release.
While fans had hoped JACKBOYS 2 would arrive on April 30 — the same day as Scott’s birthday — the album didn’t drop as expected. Still, momentum remains strong. Scott posted a birthday tribute to his mother, teasing that she had heard the album and urged him to release it on his birthday.
“EVERYONE WISH THE BIGGEST GOAT A HAPPYYYY BDAAAYYY THE QUEEEEN OF DIS HERE. MI MOMMMMMMMAAAAAAA LOVE YA MOOMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAA PS I PLAYED HER JACKBOYS 2 SHE SAID DROP ON YOUR BDAY BABY JACK. !!!!!”
Now available for pre-order, JACKBOYS 2 is accompanied by exclusive merchandise that has fans rushing to grab limited-edition pieces before the project officially drops.
Travis Scott’s Latest Era: WWE, Coachella & More
In recent weeks, Travis Scott has been juggling multiple high-profile ventures. Following his controversial Coachella set — which reportedly led to a fine for the festival organizers — and a headline-making appearance at WrestleMania 41, Scott has shown no signs of slowing down.
He hinted at the album’s imminent release with a cryptic message:
“Jackboys album brazy. I just threw up. Certified.”
He also added,
“AFTER JACKBOYS 2 I NEEEEEDDD THAT,” in reference to his WWE involvement, adding another layer to the hype.
What’s Next for Cactus Jack?
The original JACKBOYS album dropped at the end of 2019 and shot straight to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, featuring chart-topping hits and breakout performances from Travis Scott’s label signees. With JACKBOYS 2, the team is poised to repeat — if not exceed — that success.
As Travis Scott expands his empire and sharpens his vision, signing Wallie the Sensei marks not just a new chapter for the label, but a significant moment for West Coast hip-hop.
