Portland
Featuring Quavo, Travis Scott
Portland is More Life's marquee American rap collaboration, featuring Quavo and Travis Scott and produced by Murda Beatz with co-production by Cubeatz. Its distinctive flute-led beat became one of the project's most recognizable production elements and a frequently cited example of the era's flute-trap trend. It reads as a high-energy posse cut foregrounding wealth, women, and momentum, with each artist trading bravado over the bright, bouncy production. Released to rhythmic radio May 16, 2017 as More Life's fourth single, it peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and functions as the playlist's biggest pure-hip-hop moment, balancing its heavy UK and Caribbean leanings with a stateside trap collaboration.
