Quavo was born Quavious Marshall in 1991 and grew up in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Alongside Offset (his cousin) and Takeoff (his nephew), he helped form Migos in 2009 and they released their first mixtapes, Juug Season in 2011 and No Label in 2012. (No Label went on to receive a sequel in 2014.) However, it wasn't until the release of the track "Versace" from their 2013 mixtape, Young Rich N*ggas, that they came to full prominence. The song was a breakout hit, receiving further exposure when Drake produced a remix. In 2014, Quavo was named "most influential rapper" by the online hip-hop community Complex Music. In subsequent years, he appeared on further releases with Migos, most notably their full-length albums Yung Rich Nation (2015) and C U L T U R E (2017). He also appeared on tracks like "Champions" for Kanye West's GOOD Music label and performed alongside Young Thug on 2016's "Fuck Cancer," and on 2017's "Go Off" with Travis Scott and Lil Uzi Vert for the Fate of the Furious movie soundtrack. Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho, a collaborative project with Travis Scott, was also released in 2017. The following year, Quavo released a series of solo singles, including "Workin Me" and "Bubble Gum." Those tracks found their way onto his official solo debut, Quavo Huncho, which arrived in October 2018. The album featured guests such as Drake, Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, 21 Savage, Offset, Takeoff, and even Madonna. Quavo continued adding flare to other artists' singles with featured verses over the next few years, appearing on tracks by E-40, Don Toliver, Iggy Azalea, Major Lazer, 2 Chainz, and many others. In 2018, Quavo was featured on DJ Khaled's "No Brainer," which peaked at number five on the charts, and in 2020 he was featured on another track that hit that mark with his contributions to Justin Bieber's single "Intentions." He also issued several singles of his own, including the 2021 song "Strub Tha Ground," featuring Yung Miami. In May of 2022, Quavo teamed up with Takeoff, Unc, and Phew on "Hotel Lobby," the first single to precede the joint Quavo/Takeoff studio album Only Built for Infinity Links. The album was released in October of that year and featured a who's-who of guest stars including Summer Walker, Gucci Mane, Young Thug, Gunna, and more. Only Built for Infinity Links debuted at number seven position on the Billboard Top 200 chart. ~ Rob Wacey, Rovi
