Quavo Delivers Posthumous TakeOff Collaboration ‘Dope Boy Phone': Stream It Now
Quavo is always going to do what he can to keep TakeOff's legacy alive. Huncho joined forces with his late nephew on Friday (May 2) for the posthumous collaboration 'Dope Boy Phone.' The Migos frontman announced the single earlier this week with a clip showcasing how he shot the 2000s-coded cover art filled with Nokia and Samsung flip phones in a vacuum-sealed package.

TakeOff was shot and killed during a Halloween party in downtown Houston on Nov. 1, 2022. He was just 28 years old. The Harris County coroner's office confirmed at the time that TakeOff's primary cause of death was 'penetrating gunshot wounds of head and torso into arm.' Just a few weeks before TakeOff's tragic shooting, Quavo and Take formed the Unc & Phew duo and released their first collaborative project, Only Built for Infinity Links, in October 2022. The project reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200. Quavo is continuing to preserve TakeOff's memory with his non-profit Rocket Foundation. The Rocket Foundation announced on Thursday (May 1) that former White House official Gregory Jackson Jr. will be taking over as president of the foundation, according to Variety. Jackson Jr. is the former deputy director of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which was dismantled by the Trump administration. 'I am thrilled to have Greg lead the charge for Rocket,' Quavo said in a statement. 'He is a longstanding partner of the organization and our persistent work to end gun violence. I know my foundation and Takeoff's legacy are in good hands with him.' Quavo appears to be working toward another solo LP as he previously released singles like the Lil Baby-assisted 'Legends' and 'Trappa Rappa' earlier in 2025. Stream 'Dope Boy Phone' below.

Quavo Records Two New Songs Live on Plaqueboy Max's Livestream
Quavo appeared on a recent livestream with PlaqueBoyMax and recorded two new songs during their time together. On Tuesday, Quavo sat down with PlaqueBoyMax in the studio during the producer's recent livestream and hopped in the booth to record some new tracks live for the viewers. The first song, 'Nun,' has a rambunctious trap beat, as Quavo drops some braggadocious flexes over soaring horns and hard-hitting drums. The second song, 'Glacier,' is much slower, as Quavo sings his way through to the end.

The new track came as the former Migos rapper makes a pivot into acting, and said in April he thinks he'll eventually become bigger than other rappers-turned-actors like Will Smith. 'They cant f— with me,' he told TMZ. The Atlanta star recently starred in High Rollers with John Travolta, which is a sequel to their previous film Cash Out that featured Sex and the City's Kristin Davis. Quavo was also in Savage Salvation alongside Robert De Niro and John Malkovich as well as Praise This with Chloe Bailey and Druski. His next starring role will likely be in an upcoming heist film called Takeover, which will also star Billy Zane. The movie was originally shot in 2022, but as of 2025 still does not yet have any locked-in release date. Check out the video of PlaqueBoyMax and Quavo recording two new songs below.

Quavo Releases Posthumous Collab With Takeoff, ‘Dope Boy Phone'
Quavo might be making a call to heaven with his 'Dope Boy Phone.' On Friday, the rapper released the new song, featuring his late cousin and Migos groupmate, Takeoff, which is set to be featured on his upcoming solo album. 'Dope boy clone/Lookin' for a dope boy loan,' raps Takeoff in his verse. 'Lurkin' in a dope boy zone/I fucked around and found a dope boy phone/Fuck it, my n—a, we gone.' More from Rolling Stone Hear Quavo, Lil Baby Team Up on High-Rolling Single 'Legends' Will Smith's Overwrought Comeback Album Is Our Fault Offset Announces Concert in Russia Despite His Label's Ongoing Boycott On Wednesday, the rapper shared a behind-the-scenes video of himself creating the artwork for the single, which sees old-school cellphones covered in saran wrap. 'Cookin up a cover 4 DOPE BOY PHONE,' the rapper captioned the clip, which included a snippet of the new song. Quavo previously said in 2023 that the late rapper had around 1,000 unreleased tracks between eight different phones. Although it's unclear if they'll ever be released, there have been talks about a posthumous album. 'I want to keep his stuff very, very, very sacred right now,' Quavo told Rolling Stone that year. 'Something about Take's verses right now is just like so ahead of his time. Every time, it's like he just did it.' Following his death in November 2022 after being shot outside of a Texas bowling alley, the rapper has also been featured on 'Patty Cake' and 'Back Where It Begins' from Quavo's 2023 album Rocket Power, which was dedicated to the rapper's memory. (The pair also released the album Only Built for Infinity Links shortly before his death.) Quavo is gearing up for a new LP, and 'Dope Boy Phone' follows his collab with Lil Baby, 'Legends,' from last month.

Quavo Honors TakeOff With Posthumous Single 'Dope Boy Phone'
Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE Source: Variety / Getty Quavo has officially announced the release of a posthumous collaboration with his late nephew and Migos groupmate, TakeOff. The track, titled 'Dope Boy Phone,' is set to drop on May 2 and marks an emotional moment for fans still mourning the tragic loss of TakeOff. A teaser clip shared online shows Quavo in the studio methodically placing several burner phones into a tray before wrapping them up—a symbolic gesture that doubles as the song's official cover art. TakeOff, whose real name was Kirshnik Ball, was killed in a shooting outside a bowling alley in Houston, Texas, on November 1, 2022. The incident occurred following a dice game that escalated into violence. At just 28 years old, TakeOff was pronounced dead at the scene. Quavo, who was present during the altercation, escaped physical harm, though two others sustained gunshot wounds and were transported to nearby hospitals. 'Dope Boy Phone' not only serves as a tribute to TakeOff's legacy but also highlights Quavo's continued efforts to honor his late nephew through music. The upcoming release is expected to blend their signature Atlanta sound with a deeper emotional resonance, reflecting both loss and loyalty. Fans of Migos and Hip-Hop alike are eagerly awaiting the track, which stands as another poignant reminder of TakeOff's talent and the deep bond he shared with Quavo. As anticipation builds, the single is likely to stir strong emotions and further cement TakeOff's enduring influence on the genre.
