Why Now[5]

Only Built for Infinity Links is a collaborative studio album by American rappers Quavo and Takeoff under the name Unc & Phew. It was released on October 7, 2022, by Quality Control Music, Capitol Records, Motown Records, and YRN the Label. The album was preceded by four singles—"Hotel Lobby (Unc & Phew)", "Us vs. Them" with Gucci Mane, "Big Stunna" with Birdman, and "Nothing Changed", and also includes features from Summer Walker, Young Thug, Gunna, YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Mustard.[6] It was the last release during Takeoff's life, as he was shot and killed just 25 days later on November 1, 2022.[7]

Background

Quavo and Takeoff worked on the album over a two-year period and "modeled elements of the cover art" on Kanye West and Jay-Z's collaboration for Watch the Throne (2011) as well as Outkast. The title is a reference to Raekwon's 1995 debut album Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..., with Takeoff claiming that Raekwon approved of the title, as well as a reference to the "unbreakable bond" that Quavo and Takeoff have as uncle and nephew, respectively.[6] The album was notably made without input from Offset of Migos despite no formal split of the trio; Quavo also stated in an interview that he would like to see his and Takeoff's career "as a duo".[8][9]
