Quavo Urges Donald Trump To Prioritize Gun Prevention Policies

November 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Quavo may have built up a persona as a trapper in his music, but the Migos rapper has taken an upright stance against gun control in recent years. The death of the rapper’s nephew, Takeoff, has motivated him to make a positive change in his community and the world as a whole. It’s something that initially drew him to Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Now that Donald Trump is set to become the next President, however, Quavo is making a similar plea to the Republican party.

TMZ caught up with the rapper to discuss the outcome of the recent election. Quavo made it clear that he wants to see positive change regardless of which party is in power. “I think [Harris] did a great job,” the rapper said, when asked about the VP. “[The] foundation I was pushing was about gun violence, so I feel like whoever is in office needs to handle that problem.” Quavo did not mention Trump by name, but he made it clear that he will not let his own political bias get in the way of U.S. progress. “It’s a universal problem, so it doesn’t have any red or blue on there,” the rapper asserted. “Gun violence [prevention] is for everybody and the world.”

Quavo Claimed Gun Prevention Transcends Party Colors

TMZ asked Quavo if he believes Donald Trump will back the same gun policies that Harris promoted. He didn’t have a concrete answer (who would), but he did make it clear that is hopeful. “I feel like he should,” he noted. “I feel like every president should.” Quavo’s passion for gun violence prevention has reached a height point in the last few months. Those who were previously unaware of the rapper’s campaign were made aware by his appearance at a Harris campaign rally in August.

Quavo told those in attendance that gun prevention was something that every American should prioritize. “You can’t understand the struggle of gun violence if you are not in the field or in the heart of it,” he said. There’s certainly no love lost between Quavo and Donald Trump. The rapper criticized Trump for serving the championship college team the Clemson Tigers fast food in 2019. He tweeted at the team and vowed to show Trump how “champs should really be treated.” It says a lot that the Migos rapper is willing to put away his bias for the greater good.

The Kid LAROI and Quavo Drop Infectious New Single “Slow It Down”

November 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

GRAMMY®-nominated, multi-platinum global superstar The Kid LAROI has returned with “Slow It Down”, a dynamic new single featuring Quavo, available now. Marking their first collaboration, the track blends nostalgia with contemporary flair.

“Slow It Down” draws inspiration from Juvenile’s 2003 hit “Slow Motion”, reinterpreted through LAROI’s melodic delivery and Quavo’s signature flow. The track features resounding strings and a thumping bass line, creating a timeless vibe that bridges early 2000s influence with modern production. LAROI’s reflective lyrics, “You’re moving too fast, I’m trying to make it last,” set a mellow tone, while Quavo’s head-nodding bounce adds an irresistible energy.

The release follows a teaser from their recent studio session and coincides with LAROI’s headlining THE FIRST TIME Australian tour, which kicked off in Gold Coast.

The Kid Laroi & Quavo Want To “Slow It Down” On Their Collab

November 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After taking a long hiatus following the release of F*CK LOVE 3+: OVER YOU in 2021, The Kid LAROI came back firing on all cylinders in 2023 with his official debut album. THE FIRST TIME features hits like “NIGHTS LIKE THIS” with some of the deluxe cuts now causing some buzz. “BABY I’M BACK” and “GIRLS” are the ones ringing off at the moment. However, now the youngster from Australia is back in this creative groove, he doesn’t want to slow things down. The Kid LAROI is here this weekend with “SLOW IT DOWN,” a sexier pop rap/pop crossover with former Migo, Quavo. It’s their first collaboration and given their ability to adjust to so many genres, the team-up almost makes too much sense.

The single follows up on “APEROL SPRITZ,” an indirect love letter to pop star and girlfriend, Tate McRae. Given the lack of time in between releases, it seems like LAROI is back in album mode. Genius apparently has the inside scoop, with WATCH THIS! being the supposed title. The “STAY” rapper and singer hasn’t formally announced anything on his socials, but we think this is a real possibility. He’s on a hot streak, so why ruin that? “SLOW IT DOWN” definitely has the potential to be another hit for LAROI with its sticky melody and chorus. Check it out with the link below and see if you agree with our assessment.

“Slow It Down” – The Kid Laroi & Quavo

Quotable Lyrics:

I met you on Monday
F***ed you on Tuesday
Wednesday, tellin’ all your friends I’m your new bae
Thursday, same thing we did on Tuesday
Friday, let me hit that motherf***er my way
Saturday, fly you out one way

The Kid Laroi And Quavo ‘Slow It Down’ On Their Hedonistic New Single

November 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in August, The Kid Laroi returned with the cocky single “Baby I’m Back,” following it up in October with “Aperol Spritz.” His latest single is the hedonistic “Slow It Down,” on which he put the request to pump the brakes to a paramour who has been going a little too hard of late. Built over an interpolation of Destiny’s Child’s “Independent Women, Part 1,” and featuring a pull from the hook of Juvenile’s 2003 hit “Slow Motion,” “Slow It Down” features a typically boastful verse from Quavo.

After Laroi notes that his newfound lover “moving too fast” in the wake of a few fly outs (hey, that’s just what happens when you go around love bombing these ladies, kid), Quavo backs him up but also maybe makes things worse after listing all the ways he can make her life more exciting. “Slow motion better than no motion,” he raps. “Shoppin’, drop a bag, I got the store closin’.” This leads to Laroi once again complaining, then explaining, “You’re moving too fast / I’m tryna make it last.”

It certainly seems like a new album from The Kid Laroi is on the way, but first, he’s one of the many artists set to appear on iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball Tour for 2024.

Quavo Emotionally Pays Tribute To Takeoff During Recent Livestream Appearance

November 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Quavo and the rest of the hip-hop world continue to mourn the tragic loss of his nephew Takeoff two years ago, a void that continues to resonate with rap fans everywhere. Recently, Qua’ appeared on Kai Cenat’s stream, where they played the tribute track “Without You” to celebrate Take’s life and pay tribute to his lasting impact and career. While Huncho wore sunglasses, some fans noticed that his body language as the song played seemed quite somber, emotionally taking in the lyrics as probably millions of emotions and memories rushed through his mind. In the comments section down below, fans paid their respects and commended how, despite the trauma he endured, he’s always there to honor his nephew.

However, this Kai Cenat stream also held some more contentious moments according to some fans, although these are all just theories at the end of the day. Fans thought that there was some tension between Quavo and DDG, who were both guests during the Mafiathon 2 subathon event. These theories are based on just some interactions over their proximity to each other and a chair, so maybe it’s just a reach.

Elsewhere, other tragedies in the hip-hop space led Quavo to continue to mend his relationship with fellow former Migo Offset, namely the tragic loss of Rich Homie Quan. For those unaware, the Migos seemed to be at odds before Takeoff passed away, particularly between Qua’ and ‘Set. After Take left us far too soon, they started to reconcile again and link up to pay tribute to his memory and also preserve their original bond as a group. It seems like that’s been a lengthy and complex process, but one that Quan’s loss presumably accelerated. Out of these dark times, bright hope can emerge, and we’re glad that they took this decision.

Meanwhile, Quavo continues to drop new music and feed fans with some hype collaborations and singles, including his recent Yeat team-up, “5Brazy.” We’ll see what the rest of the near future holds for him soon enough, and whether there will be other big moves in 2025. Throughout it all, we know that honoring Takeoff and preserving his legacy will remain a top priority.

Yeat And Quavo Cause Mayhem On Massive Rage Banger “5Brazy”

October 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yeat may not be a superstar yet, but he’s a star. The rapper has really exploded over the last few years, thanks to his unique take on the rage sound. He’s showcased more finesse and range within this sound, as evidenced by his commercial breakthrough, 2093. Yeat’s latest album, however, sees him tamp down the experimentation in favor of bangers. LYFESTYLE is for the rap heads, and the feature list on the latest album make this game plan abundantly clear. Yeat linked up with Kodak Black and Lil Durk, and the brand new deluxe version features a collab with Quavo.

“5Brazy” is the very last song on the digital deluxe version of LYFESTYLE. It goes as hard as you think a Yeat and Quavo collab would go. The instrumental wastes absolutely no time setting up a soundscape as aggressive and hectic as the album cover. Backing vocals that evoke Future guide us into the first verse, which is handled by Yeat. The bars matter as much as they do for a typical Yeat song, which is to say, not at all. Yeat is all about vocal riffs and flows. Quavo is a bit more audible on the back end of the song, and he acclimates surprisingly well to Yeat’s more blown-out sound.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Yeat And Quavo Showcase Radically Different Flows

Quotable Lyrics:

Shawty be ragin’, get these brazy kids out the streets (Ragin’)
Elliot diamonds, this a different shine, this shit ain’t cheap (Shine)
Brand new Mercedes, I go brazy in the Brabus (That’s brazy)
Lil’ bro still outside, I call him rager (Rager, go brazy, gang)

Quavo And Lana Del Rey Release “Tough” (Gravagerz Remix)

October 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Grammy-nominated artists Quavo and Lana Del Rey join forces with Luxembourg-based DJ and producer Gravagerz for the latest dance remix of their hit single “Tough.” After charting on the Billboard Hot 100 following its original release, Gravagerz reimagines the country-trap summer anthem into an ethereal club banger. His lush chord progressions, high-tempo drum groove, and deep-house synth melodies create a new backdrop for Quavo and Lana’s heart-string pulling vocals, making the track a must-play for DJs. This new rendition follows last week’s hypnotically funky Channel Tres remix, adding another layer of excitement to the song’s ongoing success.

The Rocket Foundation and White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention Unite for Fortune Impact Initiative

October 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This week, The Rocket Foundation once again partnered with The White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention (OGVP) for the Fortune Impact Initiative at the St. Regis in Atlanta, GA. The event featured Turning Pain Into Purpose: A Conversation On Gun Violence, moderated by Fortune Magazine’s Executive Editor Kristin Stoller. The panel included OGVP Deputy Director Greg Jackson, the late Takeoff’s mother, Titania Davenport, and his grandmother Edna Maddox.

The conversation focused on the devastating loss of loved ones to gun violence and the ongoing mission to prevent others from facing similar tragedies. Davenport reflected on the pain of losing her son, Migos member Kirsnick Khari Ball, known as Takeoff, who was fatally shot on November 1, 2022. She emphasized the need to “grow and go” by turning grief into action.

The panel discussed the disparities between urban and rural approaches to gun violence prevention, particularly in the South, and called for a nationwide response to the crisis.

This marks the third collaboration between The Rocket Foundation and the White House OGVP, following their inaugural Rocket Foundation Summit on June 18th. Held at Atlanta’s Carter Center, the summit honored Takeoff’s legacy on his 30th birthday, bringing together 300 attendees, including gun violence prevention organizations, survivors, and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, to discuss solutions to gun violence across the country.

Quavo Fans Debate Whether Or Not He Has A Baby

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Outside of his extremely malicious beef with Chris Brown (and a lawsuit), Quavo has not been making a lot of headlines. However, the internet is absolutely losing their minds over a recent post-and-delete video. The Neighborhood Talk was able to get a hold of it before it was taken down and it sees the former Migos rapper boarding a private jet. Some people have been a little puzzled over why he would post him doing this, but that is not really why people are buzzing. Instead, it has to do with the fact that there is a crying baby on the plane with Quavo being one of the passengers.

It’s an unintentionally funny moment as the child decides to announce his presence as soon the potential father starts to walk through the cabin. Quavo even does what a dad would do when a baby begins to cry, saying in exaggerated fashion, “Okay.” Fans were quick to point out that detail, as well as noticing a car seat onboard. “Yea that was definitely a car seat peep the handle n the seat,” one IG user says.

Quavo Fans Are Divided On Baby Post

While some were making light of the situation, others were making more mature observations. A lot of social media users seemed to not be a fan of The Neighborhood Talk‘s caption, “Now Quavo…you can’t just delete the post without telling the fans what’s tea? .” This set some off. “If he does have a baby please explain why tf do y’all feel like he’s entitled to tell y’all?!!” “He was smart to keep it private.” Regardless of whose child it is, hopefully it had a safe flight.

What are your thoughts on Quavo possibly having a child? Do you think people deserve to know what’s up, why or why not? Could it have been a friend’s baby? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Quavo. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Takeoff’s Brother Checks Offset For Mentioning His “Twin” In Twitter Rant

September 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It has been a roller coaster week for Offset. The Migos rapper started things off strong, securing his first ever Diamond plaque for his appearance on Tyga’s “Taste.” The same day he got his plaque, though, his ex, Cardi B exploded on social media. She took to Instagram to air out their personal issues. They hurled insults at each other in the comment section. At one point, Cardi even posted screenshots of NSFW texts between her and Offset. It was a lot. And it kept going the next day.

Offset fired off a few angry tweets on Thursday morning. One of them alluded to the fact that he should have heeded the advice of those around him. Presumably, with regards to his relationship with Cardi B. “Listen to your ppl take and the bros TOld me,” he wrote. It seemed harmless enough. Offset wound up sparking another social media confrontation, though. YRN Lingo, the younger brother of Migos rapper Takeoff, didn’t like what Offset had to say. He called out Offset for alluding to Takeoff, and told him to think twice before involving the late rapper in personal drama.

YRN Lingo Urged Offset To Let His Brother Rest

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

“My brother ain’t tell him sh*t,” YRN Lingo wrote on Instagram. “Let my twin rest.” The comment makes sense when considering the strained relationship Offset had with Takeoff at the time of his death. They had a falling out around 2022, which led to the dissolution of Migos. Offset went solo, and Takeoff and Quavo started recording as a duo. It’s worth noting that Offset was not related to the other members of Migos. Takeoff avoided talking about the split during interviews, but Quavo made it clear that they were not close with the third member following the split.

“I just feel like we want to see our career as a duo,” Quavo told Revolt TV in 2022. He also threw shade at the lack of family ties between them and Offset. “We just came from a loyal family,” the rapper asserted. “Sh*t that’s supposed to stick together. And sometimes, when sh*t don’t work out, it ain’t meant to be.” Despite their falling out, Offset admitted that Takeoff’s death emotionally affected him. “That sh*t hurts,” he told Variety in 2023. “Some things I don’t never tell nobody. He’s not here.” We hope the Migos rapper catches a break in the near future. Maybe he should take a break from social media.
