Quavo turns mourning into music in new Takeoff tribute: 'I'll see you again some day'

Rapper Quavo has channeled his grief for late nephew and collaborator Takeoff into new music, two months after the latter died in a fatal Houston shooting in November at age 28.

"Can't tell you how many times I cried/ Days ain't the same without you/ I [don't] know if I'm the same without you," Quavo sings in his latest song, "Without You," which dropped Wednesday.

Over a slow beat, Quavo reminisces about the time he spent with Takeoff, whose real name was Kirshnik Khari Ball. The music video shows black-and-white footage of Takeoff smoking and bobbing his head to music. Quavo recalls the "hard times" with his nephew, as well as Migos playing Coachella in 2018. While cherishing those memories, Quavo also says he wants to turn back time.
