Quavo shared a touching tribute to his nephew Takeoff on Wednesday evening (Jan. 4), releasing “Without You.”
The song is accompanied by a video featuring the Migos rapper smoking in the studio while reflecting on Takeoff’s passing.
“Out in the galaxy, up in the stars/Over the universe, it’s bigger than Mars/See you in heaven, see you heaven/When I see you in heaven, I’ma be with my dog,” Quavo sings on the melodic new track.
Quavo and Takeoff released the joint album, Only Built For Infinity Links in October, which is referenced in “Without You.”
“I wish I had a time machine/Just so you take a ride with me/I miss just how you smile at me/Unc & Phew until infinity,” Quavo croons. Watch the emotional video below.
