Era begins after the release of 'Astroworld', and ends after the AstroFest tragedy on November 5, 2021. Referred to as a 'phase' rather than a 'version', since it's unclear how drastically the album was reworked. A version of the album was "50-60% completed" at the time of AstroFest.
In a cover story by Complex about 'Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon', Steven Victor said this was originally meant to be Travis's song, meaning he may have some vocals somewhere.

OG Filename: trav del resto Solo reference recorded in Cabo, Mexico. Found within a password-protected zip file, so it likely will never leak. The date December 6, 2020, can be seen, though it may have been recorded earlier.
OG Filename: Westlake JV Ideas 1 Solo reference from Justin Vernon. Found within a password-protected zip file, so it will likely never leak.
Mumble freestyle from Kanye that appears to be for "Delresto"; it's unclear if any of the other artists from Demo 7 were on this version. LQ snippet of Kanye recording his vocals leaked December 22, 2022. Kanye recorded more vocals on June 3, 2021.
According to the Kanye tracker, KayCyy implied that he recorded for "Delresto", likely as a reference for Ye.
Version dated June 12, 2021; features vocals from James Blake and Kanye not found on the final version. Found within a password-protected zip file, so it likely will never leak.
Title is made up. Teased via Instagram story on November 30, 2020. Sounds quite rough.
Slightly earlier version played on Instagram; likely the same version that was played at Travis's 2021 Dior x Cactus Jack show. Missing some adlibs and background vocals; presumably otherwise nearly complete.
Earliest known version, originally titled "White Tee". Features some different lines from Thug; likely only had his verse at the time due to the second demo. Heard in a teaser video for the track.
Features the final Young Thug verse and open instrumental around it. Leaked April 17, 2025.
Later version with Travis vocals. Still lacks M.I.A., Travis has one slightly different line, and Thug has a few different lines. Leaked April 17, 2025. Likely the version that debuted on .WAV Radio.
Teased on Instagram by M.I.A. and later released through Patreon and then YouTube on October 1, 2020. Features lots of extra vocals that were chopped up and turned into her verse from the released version.
OG Filename: Heart Beat 2X (open) Leaked as part of a 91 song KayCyy pack on November 9, 2020; later revealed to be a reference for Travis.
2020 track mostly written by KayCyy; has completed lyrics, but a verse repeats. A HQ snippet leaked on April 2, 2021, and it was later teased on May 29, and again on July 16 (though neither time by Travis). In his Discord server, KayCyy claimed that this was going to the be the first single for 'Utopia', but the snippet and reference track leaks messed that up; this is unconfirmed, however (see 'Dystopia' on the 'Tracklists' sheet for more speculation). Leaked December 10, 2022.
