"Out West" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American rapper Travis Scott featuring American rapper Young Thug, from the compilation album JackBoys (2019) by Scott and his JackBoys collective.
In late December 2019, shortly after the release of JackBoys, TikTok star Nicole Bloomgarden created the "Out West Challenge". The dance challenge went viral on TikTok in February 2020.[1]
Music video
The music video was released on March 20, 2020. It was co-directed by Travis Scott alongside White Trash Tyler and shows a house party with women twerking while Young Thug performs above the crowd. The scene then heads to the bathroom, where a girl is found passed out by the toilet and Quincy Jones is washing his face and hands.[2] He also appears in the end of the clip walking around with a sandwich and eating it.[3]
The video features cameos from the JackBoys roster, consisting of rappers signed to Travis Scott's Cactus Jack Records.[4] Rappers 21 Savage, Yung Keyo and Young Jordan appear in the video as well; the latter two are signed to Young Thug's record label YSL Records.
