Vice President Kamala Harris

Vice President Harris had Quavo and Megan Thee Stallion at her Atlanta campaign rally. After Quavo spoke, VP Harris called out her opponent, former president Donald Trump.

“Donald Trump, on the other hand, has talked a big game about securing our border, but he does not walk the walk,” Harris said. “Or as my friend Quavo would say, he does not ‘walk it like he talks it.’”

At her Atlanta campaign rally, Quavo was on hand for Vice President Kamala Harris. During his time on stage, Quavo revealed Vice President Harris “stands on business,” and he works alongside her because she is working on gun violence.

“You can’t understand the struggles of gun violence if you’re not in the field or in the heart of it,” Quavo said. “One thing I learned about working with Vice President Harris is she’s always standing on business.”

Quavo would sign off with a salute to the late Takeoff, mimicking his voice to give a shoutout to Kamala Harris. You can see his entire speech below.

Today (July 30), Vice President Kamala Harris brought her 2024 campaign trail down to the Dirty South. During the Atlanta, Georgia stop at the Georgia State Convocation Center, she had a few notable entertainers popped and show their support (fitting as it is one of the country’s musical hubs).

In between her performance set, Megan Thee Stallion verbalized her endorsement for the presidential hopeful. But at the podium, Quavo delivered an equally fiery speech. The “Mink” rapper revealed that his support for Harris boils down to her stance on ending gun violence, a heartbreaking issue that has directly impacted him.

In October 2022, Quavo’s nephew and longtime collaborator, Takeoff (of Migos & Unc And Phew) was tragically gunned down in Houston, Texas.

Watch Quavo’s speech video from Kamala Harris’ Atlanta rally and read the transcript below.

If y’all don’t know me, I got by the name of Quavo. Born and raised in the North side of Atlanta, the home of the Migos. This city has always been home to me. From playing in the streets to, and you know, nurturing me to teaching me how to be the man that I am standing before you today. So, I mean one of the issues that I care about is resolving the gun violence. You can’t understand the struggles of gun violence if you not in the field or the heart of it. So, one thing I learned about working with Vice President Harris is she always stand on business.

From inviting me to the White House last year to discuss these solutions, to passing the biggest gun safety laws today. So, it’s only right in the birthplace of the culture, it’s also the same place where we launched the first African-American woman to run for president. Yeah, we changing the culture again. So, if you never voted before make sure that you get out and vote right now because this the real one. And in the words of my brother Takeoff, let me get a Kamala.

Kamala Harris Destroys Donald Trump By Quoting Quavo During Atlanta Rally

Kamala Harris’ campaign traveled to Atlanta on July 30. The presidential candidate has already been endorsed by dozens of notable celebrities. She took full advantage of these endorsements during the rally. She not only called upon Megan Thee Stallion to perform during the event, but she had Atlanta native Quavo speak on her behalf. The Migos superstar praised Kamala Harris’ policies, especially with regards to gun control. Harris returned the favor by using an iconic Migos song to diss her opponent.

Harris hyped up the Atlanta crowd by taking aim at Republican nominee Donald Trump. When discussing the ways in which Trump has failed the American people, the Democratic nominee pointed to a line from Migos’ “Walk It Talk It” single from 2018. “As my friend Quavo would say,” Harris asserted. “He does not walk it like he talks it.” The reference elicit cheers of support throughout the crowd, and nicely set up the speech that Quavo would eventually give. The rapper’s appearance was not announced before the rally. Given the impact the rapper has had on ATL culture, though, the co-sign makes complete sense.

Quavo’s speech was brief but impactful, detailing into the importance of gun control as it pertains to saving lives. “You can’t understand the struggle of gun violence if you not in the field or in the heart of it,” the rapper asserted. “One thing I learned from working with Vice President Harris is she always stand on business.” Quavo also alluded to a previous meeting he had with Harris regarding gun control. “It’s only right in the birthplace of the culture is also the same place to launch the first African-American woman to run for president,” he concluded.

Quavo’s passion for gun control is forged in loss. The rapper’s nephew, Takeoff, was shot and killed on November 1, 2022. Both men rose to fame as part of Migos, and Quavo admitted that Takeoff’s death urged him to take a stand. “I feel like your calling comes at the least expected times,” he told Associated Press. “I have to do something about it, so it won’t happen to the masses — especially in our culture. The relationship between Quavo and Harris has benefited both parties. The rapper is providing credibility for Harris among Atlanta voters, and the politician is helping to bolster a cause that Quavo is understandably passionate about. In June, Harris participated in Quavo’s inaugural Rocket Foundation Summit.

Quavo Looks To Reunite With Travis Scott By Teasing “Huncho Jack 2”

Quavo and Travis Scott are one of the elite duos in the trap rap space. Over the past decade, these two Southern hip-hop artists have delivered time and time again. You have tracks like “Oh My Dis Side”, “pick up the phone”, “Sloppy Toppy”, and “Kelly Price”, as well as countless others. The first of those collaborations really had a lot of listeners captivated by their incredible chemistry and it had people thinking what they could sound like on a full project. Well, they went for it all in December 2017, leaving off an early present under the Christmas tree with Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho.

The tape has since eclipsed one billion plus streams overall since its release almost seven years ago. Memorable cuts from it include “Dubai S***”, “Motorcycle Patches”, and “Black & Chinese”. When that milestone was reached late last year, Quavo commented under the Our Generation Music post about it, hinting at the possibility of a sequel. “That’s tuff next one loadin….. battery 🔋”, the former Migo wrote. To our knowledge, Scott has not been too vocal about this, but the Atlanta native sure is.

The Rocket Power rapper has recently been stirring the pot once again on his Instagram. The first video sees Quavo on his jet ski while listening to “Go” from their collab tape. He captioned the story post, “HJ2”. Then, he shared another message on the IG feed asking his fans to “Tag Jack!” as he continues to wrestle with this idea. “Thinkin HJ2 ?”, he said. Him and Scott have not made a song with just the two of them since “RERUN” from the former’s solo debut album. Overall, though, their most recent work on track came last summer with “Ring Ring”, which also had CHASE B, Don Toliver and Ty Dolla $ign.

Quavo And Lana Del Rey Drop New Collab Single “Tough”

After amassing a staggering 40 million views on Instagram reels with a tantalizing teaser, GRAMMY-nominated artists Quavo and Lana Del Rey release their highly-anticipated new song “Tough” today via Capitol/Interscope/Polydor. Directed by Wyatt Spain Winfrey, the video for ‘Tough’ is a mesmerizing fusion that allows both superstars to fearlessly explore each other’s musical realms, showcasing their indomitable spirit. Set in a rural backdrop, Quavo and Lana are intrepid companions, undaunted by life’s trials. On one end, Quavo brandishes his shotgun while Lana carries her guitar, symbolizing their unwavering strength despite their contrasting origins. 

“Tough like the scuff on a pair of old leather boots/Like the blue-collar, red-dirt attitude/Like a .38 made out of brass/Tough like the stuff on your grandpa’s glass,” the country-trap hook goes. 

Following the release of the teaser of “Tough,” the clip enjoyed various viral moments and was picked up by numerous publications, including Billboard, Rolling Stone, Spin, Hypebeast, and more. Quavo and Lana added more fuel to the conversation when they performed the song together at the singer’s headlining performance at Fenway Park in Boston. The teased reel posted on Instagram became the most viewed reel of all time for Quavo, while that became the second largest for Lana.

Lana Del Rey’s Hip-Hop Connection Is Much Deeper Than Quavo

by

Today (July 3), Lana Del Rey linked up with Quavo to drop “Tough,” a new collaborative single. Del Rey — who is best known for ethereal, Americana-inspired music that typically has little to do with rap — doesn’t exactly live and breathe hip-hop. At least, that’s what you might believe if you haven’t been paying attention.

Yes, she usually collaborates with artists like Taylor Swift and Father John Misty, but the truth is that hip-hop has been an undercurrent of Del Rey’s career since pretty much the very start. To drive that point home, let’s go through a few highlights that illustrate Del Rey’s long-running connection to hip-hop.

2012 — “National Anthem”

The world met Del Rey on her debut major-label album, 2012’s Born To Die. The project spawned a number of singles, the most relevant one here being “National Anthem”: In the video, she plays Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy, while she recruited ASAP Rocky to portray John F. Kennedy.

2015 — “Art Deco”

It was rumored that this song was about Azealia Banks, but Del Rey herself shut that narrative down, saying in an interview, “Definitely not. I have no idea where people got that from. I just don’t know what the correlation is. That song is actually about a group of teenagers who go out every night.”

That didn’t stop the two from getting into a Twitter spat in 2018, though, during which Del Rey showed her teeth: She invited Banks to “pull up” and declared, “I won’t not f*ck you the f*ck up.”

2017 — ASAP Rocky

Del Rey reunited with her “National Anthem” co-star on a couple of occasions in 2017: Rocky featured on “Summer Bummer” (as did Playboi Carti) and “Groupie Love” from the Lust For Life album.

2021 — Chemtrails Over The Country Club

When Del Rey revealed the album’s cover in 2021, she received some push-back over the apparent lack of racial variety among the people featured in the art. In response, she wrote in part on social media, “My best friends are rappers, my boyfriends have been rappers…. My dearest friends have been from all over the place, so before you make comments again about a WOC/POC issue, I’m not the one storming the capital, I’m literally changing the world by putting my life and thoughts and love out there on the table 24 seven. Respect it.”

(Per Harper’s Bazaar, Del Rey’s dating history includes G-Eazy; He’s the only rapper listed, but perhaps Del Rey has had some other relationships go under the radar.)

2021 — Migos

Del Rey manifested her Quavo collab in 2021 when she named Migos as the artist she’d most like to work with, saying, “I love them. Everything they do. There was kind of like a new revolution of sound 11 years ago in the singer-songwriter community, which I loved seeing. And then with Migos, I think they kicked off a new super fun, super autobiographical, completely different style of rap. I love them.”

2024 — Sexyy Red

Lana got in a good hang with Sexyy Red at this year’s Hangout Festival: The two made some waves online with their joint twerk session.

2024 — Quavo

Del Rey and Quavo were at the center of some dating rumors a few months ago, but Quavo explained, “We having hits,” ultimately teeing up their new song and bringing this timeline to an end.

Quavo & Lana Del Rey Are Built “Tough” On Genre-Bending Single

by

Lana Del Rey is returning to the realm of hip-hop as she joins ATL superstar Quavo for “Tough”. This is their first-ever collaboration, and it marks the most recent occasion in which the vocalist is working with a rapper. The last time the New York City native teamed up with one came back in 2017 with Lust For Life. Lana could be heard with A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti on that project, but she has strayed away from that sound for a while now. However, that all changes with Quavo on “Tough”, although this one has a country twang to it.

According to Pitchfork, this has a possibility of landing on her forthcoming 10th album, Lasso. The tape is expected to be released sometime this September; however, no official release date is known. On “Tough”, Quavo and Lana Del Rey are expressing how tough life and love can be at times. But if you willing to stay strong and push through, both will richly reward you. It seems that each artist is melodically crooning about their relationship together and it is quite beautiful, frankly. Quavo’s auto-tuned voice mixed with Lana’s smooth and breathy delivery are a nice combination. Furthermore, the instrumental is not overdone and features dirty trap drums and country guitars.

Listen To “Tough” By Quavo & Lana Del Rey

Quotable Lyrics:

Come on, take a ride with me
Like the 808s beatin’ in the trunk in Atlanta, it was tough
It was kinda hard for me
Crawlin’ through the mud, I couldn’t find love, then we came up
Look at what we are, baby
Standin’ through the storm, still shinin’ like a diamond in the rough

Months After Dating Rumors, Lana Del Rey And Quavo Are ‘Tough’ On Their Dreamy New Collaboration

by

In 2021, Lana Del Rey named Migos as the artist she’d most like to collaborate with, saying, “I love them. Everything they do. There was kind of like a new revolution of sound 11 years ago in the singer-songwriter community, which I loved seeing. And then with Migos, I think they kicked off a new super fun, super autobiographical, completely different style of rap. I love them.”

Now, that has come true as much as is possible given the current state of Migos: Del Rey teams up with Quavo on their new collab, “Tough.”

The track takes Del Rey’s ethereal, vintage-inspired sound and mixes it with a hip-hop flair. On the track, the two discuss how strong and resilient they are, like on the chorus: “Tough like the scuff on a pair of old leather boots / Like the blue-collar, red-dirt attitude / Like a .38 made out of brass / Tough like the stuff in your grandpa’s glass.”

The two also sparked dating rumors earlier this year, and Quavo explained at the time, “We having hits,” an apparent tease of the collab that has now been realized.

This isn’t the only hip-hop connection Del Rey had made lately, as she was spotted twerking with Sexyy Red back in May.

Quavo Ignores The Weather To Don A ‘Mink’ In His Latest Video

by

Summer is so close you can practically taste it, but despite the according change in temperature, Quavo still wants to flex his “Mink.” The new video finds Quavo hanging out on the block, getting his hair cut, sipping out of red cups, and getting twerked on as he quotes Sexyy Red in his coolly menacing verse.

Although Quavo has yet to announce any new solo projects, the former Migo has been busy as a bee for the past several months. Back in February, he kicked off 2024 with a video for the standalone track “Himothy,” following up in April with “Potato Loaded” featuring rising star Destroy Lonely.

He was most prolific, however, during his beef with Chris Brown, of all people, dropping two new tracks back-to-back. However, the combative energy quickly fizzled out and Qua returned to his regularly scheduled programming with the appropriately titled “Clear The Smoke” last month.

Prior to any of this, Quavo paid tribute to his late bandmate Takeoff with his second studio album, Rocket Power, last August. Next up for the Atlanta rapper: an appearance on Éxodo, the new album from Latin music rising star Peso Pluma, set to release on June 20.
