Black Ops 7 Trailer
Gaming just got another massive hip-hop upgrade. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 dropped their multiplayer trailer on Monday featuring Travis Scott and Playboi Carti’s absolute banger “FE!N.”
When Hip-Hop Heavyweights Meet Military Gaming
This isn’t your typical game trailer soundtrack either. Instead, the developers crafted a cinematic version of “FE!N” that perfectly matches the intense combat footage. Haring Scott’s stripped-down vocals over wall-jumping operators feels surprisingly epic.
The trailer showcases both rappers’ verses across different gameplay segments. Scott’s opening lines about “flyin’ out of town for some peace of mind” hit different when paired with tactical warfare visuals. Then Carti’s verse kicks in during the heavy equipment and score streak sequences.
Gaming Community Goes Wild
Social media exploded with reactions after the trailer dropped. One fan perfectly captured everyone’s feelings: “Never thought I would hear a cinematic take on ‘FE!N.'” Meanwhile, others immediately started demanding playable Carti skins for multiplayer.
Honestly, who wouldn’t want to drop into Verdansk looking like Playboi Carti? Plus, Call of Duty has delivered rapper collaborations before with 21 Savage, Nicki Minaj, and Snoop Dogg. Therefore, seeing Scott or Carti as operators isn’t totally out of the question.
Travis Scott: Gaming’s Favorite Hip-Hop Star
Scott’s gaming resume speaks for itself at this point. His Fortnite Astronomical event absolutely shattered records with 12.3 million concurrent players. Moreover, that virtual concert proved musicians could create genuinely innovative gaming experiences.
“I think people gravitate toward the experience,” Scott explained about his gaming collaborations. The variety of activities and customization options clearly resonates with both music and gaming audiences. Similarly, his NBA 2K appearances show he understands how to blend entertainment mediums effectively.
What This Means for Gaming Culture
Hip-hop and gaming continue strengthening their cultural connection. Both communities celebrate creativity, competition, and pushing boundaries. Seeing mainstream rappers soundtrack major game releases feels completely natural now.
The cinematic approach to “FE!N” shows developers taking music integration seriously. Instead of just slapping popular songs over generic footage, they’re crafting custom experiences. Consequently, the music enhances rather than distracts from the gameplay visuals.
Looking Ahead
Black Ops 7 launches November 14, with early access beta starting October 2. Meanwhile, Scott’s been having a solid 2025 without dropping a solo album. His JACKBOYS 2 compilation kept fans fed while showcasing Cactus Jack Records talent.
The 17-track project featured responses to Pusha T and that fire GloRilla collaboration flipping Shyne’s “Bad Boyz.” Plus, having Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, and SoFaygo on the compilation proves Scott’s label game stays strong.
Whether we get actual Travis Scott or Playboi Carti operators remains unknown. However, this trailer collaboration shows gaming’s evolution into legitimate entertainment crossover territory. The days of generic rock soundtracks are officially over.
Get ready to hear “FE!N” while dropping 30-bombs in multiplayer. This might be the hardest Call of Duty soundtrack moment since… well, ever.
