Everybody has to do their own thing, right? For Quavious Keyate Marshall (Quavo) of rap-trio Migos, he certainly understands that idea. Sure, Migos makes hits and globe-trots with style, but going one’s own way is important. So, why not release a banger with City Girls’ Yung Miami?
Quavo and Miami’s brand new “Strub Tha Ground” debuted on October 21 and is already making major waves. A debauched twerker-anthem that recreates the legendary ‘Freaknik’, it’s definitely worth the listen.
After dropping his latest single last Thursday, Quavo has announced that the group members of Migos are off to work on solo projects.
“We most definitely coming out with all our solo projects,” Quavo told Complex. Quavo would go to say later in the interview that,
“I feel like us together, we do a lot. We have done a lot. I feel like we individually haven’t…So I think this is the time to really show y’all where we came from individually. Y’all appreciate the group more right now.”
Quavo’s return to the solo life
That’s all fair and well and good. It’s happened before. With the quick success of 2017’s Culture, Migos found themselves up high. Following this, in 2018 and 2019, Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff all released their debut solo projects. Quavo’s 2018 Quavo Huncho produced such hits as “Lamb Talk” and “Workin Me”. “Workin” went Platinum with over one million units sold, and found itself at the No. 18 spot on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Huncho would later be certified Gold, selling over 500,000 units. Perhaps the good-times wave of Culture III will bring similar results for Quavo.
In the meantime, however, Quavo is giving nothing away. In the same Complex interview he talks about “Strub Tha Ground”, saying that he doesn’t “necessarily want to call it a hit single because we’re just having fun”. He goes to allude to more songs on the way, “every week, every month. Get that flow going.”
