Atlanta rapper Quavo has released a tribute to the late Migos member Takeoff in his first new music since his nephew was gunned down in Texas last year.
The song posted on Quavo’s YouTube page Wednesday is titled “Without You” and begins with him melodically singing, “Tears rolling down my eyes, Can’t tell you how many times I cried, Days ain’t the same without you, I don’t know if I’m the same without youThe video is shot in black and white and features Quavo, whose real name is Quavious Keyate Marshall, smoking sadly. The song continues with Quavo remembering moments he spent with Takeoff saying that things aren’t the same without him.
At the end, the song fades out with Quavo repeating the phrase “Take, I’m sorry. The rapper shared the song on his social media with the simple phrase “Long Live Take Infinity.”
Quavo had previously talked about how difficult his life had been without his nephew, saying that it’s “we did everything together.”
This is the rapper’s first song since he released “Messy,” which was a collaboration with Takeoff.
Takeoff, whose name is Kirsnick Khari Ball, was killed by gunfire outside a private party at a Downtown Houston bowling alley on Nov. 1. Two others were injured in the shooting.
Police believe the shooting happened after a high-stakes dice game at a private party. There was an argument that happened after the game that erupted into gunshots. Takeoff was an unarmed and a bystander, investigators said.
“There was a lucrative dice game that went on at the event. There was an argument that happened afterwards outside the bowling alley, which led to the shooting,” HPD Homicide Division Sgt. Michael Burrow said. “I can tell you that Takeoff was not involved in playing in the dice game, he was not involved in the argument that happened outside. He was not armed
