Quavious Keyate Marshall [1] (born April 2, 1991), better known by his stage name Quavo ( /ˈkwv/ ), is an American rapper, singer, and record producer. He is best known as the frontman of the now-defunct hip hop group Migos. Formed with his nephew Takeoff and their mutual friend Offset in 2008, the group released four commercially successful studio albums before disbanding in 2023.

As a solo act, Marshall has guest performed on six Billboard Hot 100 top ten singles—Post Malone's diamond-certified "Congratulations", Justin Bieber's "Intentions", Liam Payne's "Strip That Down", Drake's "Portland", and DJ Khaled's "No Brainer" and "I'm the One", the latter of which peaked atop the chart. [2] [3] His debut studio album, Quavo Huncho (2018), peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and spawned the platinum-certified single "Workin Me". His second album, Rocket Power (2023), peaked at number 18 and was released in memory of Takeoff, who was slain the year prior. [4]

Early life

Quavious Keyate Marshall was born on April 2, 1991, in Athens, Georgia. [5] [6] [7] [8] His father died when Marshall was five years old. He has an older sister, Karasha Marshall. The three members of Migos grew up together in Gwinnett County, a mostly suburban area 20–30 minutes northeast of Atlanta. [9] Quavo attended Berkmar High School and was the starting quarterback of its football team during the 2009 season, his senior year. [9] Berkmar went 1–9 in the 2009 season, and Quavo went 19-of-25 for 201 yards and three touchdowns for the first win of the season. [10] [11] Quavo previously held the Georgia High School record by completing 28 passes in a game in 2009 until being surpassed by Taylor Heinicke. [12] Despite finishing the football season for his senior year, Quavo dropped out of Berkmar months before graduation.

Career

Migos was formed in 2008 by Quavo and fellow rappers Takeoff and Offset. Quavo and Takeoff are directly related and were raised together by Quavo's mother. Quavo was Takeoff's uncle. [13] The group was originally known as Polo Club and is from Lawrenceville, Georgia. They changed their name to "Migos" after deciding Polo Club was too generic. The group released their first full-length project, a mixtape titled Juug Season, on August 25, 2011. They followed with the mixtape No Label, on June 1, 2012.

Migos rose to prominence in 2013 after the release of their single "Versace". The song was remixed by Canadian rapper Drake, peaking at number 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 31 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Quavo had his first lead single as a solo artist with the song "Champions" featuring several other artists. The song peaked at number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100. [14]

After the success of Migos' second studio album Culture , which reached number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, Quavo was subsequently featured on several popular songs outside of Migos, including "Congratulations", "I'm the One", "Portland" and "No Brainer". In an interview with GQ , Houston-based rapper Travis Scott, with whom Quavo previously worked on the Young Thug collaboration "Pick Up the Phone", revealed he had a collaborative album with Quavo in the works. [15]

In April 2017, Quavo was featured on The Fate of the Furious: The Album on the song "Go Off" with Lil Uzi Vert and Travis Scott. The song was eventually certified Gold by the RIAA. [16] Quavo also released "Ice Tray" with Lil Yachty on December 14, 2017. [17] The song peaked at number 74 on the Billboard Hot 100.

On December 21, 2017, Quavo announced that he would release Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho with Travis Scott on December 22, 2017, without any prior promotion. The album debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 and had seven tracks chart on the Billboard Hot 100. [18] [19]

[20] It was supported by three singles, "Workin Me", "Lamb Talk" and "Bubble Gum", with "Workin Me" peaking at 52 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Quavo's highest-charting single as a solo artist. [21] The album was released on October 12, 2018, through Capitol Records, Motown, and Quality Control Music and features guest appearances from 21 Savage, Drake, Saweetie, Madonna, Cardi B, Lil Baby, Travis Scott, Normani, Davido, and Kid Cudi.

[25] In the following year, Migos released their fourth album, Culture III . [26]

In October 2022, a possible disbandment of Migos became the subject of speculation based on reports that Quavo's ex-girlfriend Saweetie had slept with Offset. [27] Following this, Quavo and Takeoff formed a super duo, Unc & Phew and went on to release a collaborative album titled Only Built for Infinity Links on October 7, 2022, without Offset's input. [28] During an interview with the Big Facts podcast, Quavo stated that he would like to see his and Takeoff's career "as a duo". [29] [30]

On November 1, 2022, less than a month after the release of the duo's first album, Takeoff was shot and killed while with Quavo and others at the 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston, Texas. [31] [32]

In early 2023, Quavo released three singles, "Honey Bun", "Greatness" and "Without You", dedicated to Takeoff before announcing his second studio album Rocket Power , released on August 18, 2023. [33] [34] [35] The album was preceded by the hit single "Turn Yo Clic Up" featuring Future and peaked at number 18 on the US Billboard 200 chart. [36] [37]

On April 11, 2024, singer Chris Brown released the deluxe edition of his eleventh studio album 11:11 , directly dissing Quavo on the track "Freak". [38] Quavo responded the following day with "Tender", leading Brown to respond the following week with the release of "Weakest Link". [39] "Weakest Link" received universal acclaim from critics and general public. [40] [41] Quavo responded three days later with "Over Hoes & Bitches", featuring a posthumous appearance by Takeoff, receiving a mixed reaction from the public. [42]

On June 19, 2024, American singer Lana Del Rey posted a 21-second long preview of her new song Tough along with Quavo on Instagram. The song was released on July 3, 2024, accompanied by a music video. [43] [44]
