Quavo is remembering his nephew and Migos collaborator Takeoff in a moving new single, “Without You.”

He shared a link to the song on social media on Wednesday evening, along with the message “Long Live Take Infinity.”

Takeoff, whose real name is Kirsnick Khari Ball, was tragically shot and killed on November 1 at a bowling alley in Houston during a private party. He was 28-years-old and had just released his collaborative album, Only Built for Infinity Links, the month prior.

“Tears rollin’ down my eyes / Can’t tell you how many times I cried (Can’t tell you how many times I cried,” Quavo raps in the intro verse. “Days ain’t the same without you / I don’t know if I’m the same without you.”

In an accompanying video, Quavo sits alone in the recording studio and smokes while quietly reflecting on his nephew’s death and the legacy he leaves behind.

Listen to Quavo’s tribute to Takeoff, “Without You,” and watch the music video above.
