Quavo Drops Posthumous Takeoff Track ‘Dope Boy Phone’

Takeoff’s influence on Migos’ sound remains undeniable — and even after his death in 2022, his voice continues to echo through the music he left behind. Quavo released “Dope Boy Phone,” a previously unreleased track featuring Takeoff, giving fans a new moment with the duo’s familiar chemistry.

The song arrived as part of Quavo’s recent run of solo singles. In a 2023 Rolling Stone interview, he revealed he’s holding onto around 1,000 unreleased tracks featuring Takeoff, stored across eight phones. “Dope Boy Phone” may not be a career-defining Migos anthem, but it captures the energy, timing, and ad-libs that helped define their sound.

Quavo released a posthumous track with his nephew and former bandmate Takeoff. “Dope Boy Phone” is one of what Quavo told Rolling Stone was around 1000 unreleased songs with Takeoff’s voice on them. “I want to keep his stuff very, very, very sacred right now,” he said. “Something about Take’s verses right now is just like so ahead of his time. Every time, it’s like he just did it.” This track is likely to appear on Quavo’s upcoming album, alongside another song with Lil Baby.

Takeoff, born Kirshnik Khari Ball, was shot and killed in November 2022 at a bowling alley in Houston. By then, Migos had reportedly split. Since his death, Quavo and Offset have reunited several times to honor him — through funeral tributes, birthday celebrations, and a joint performance at the 2023 BET Awards. Takeoff’s first posthumous verse appeared on a Metro Boomin track in December 2022.
