Today, I joined @quavohuncho for the first-ever Rocket Foundation Summit on Gun Violence Prevention.
We reflected on Quavo’s advocacy to preserve Takeoff’s legacy and discussed our work to prevent gun violence — including the Biden-Harris Administration’s Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the most significant gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years.
Quavo: Thank you for bringing us together for this critical conversation. And thank you for your courage and your leadership. Together, we continue our work to save lives and keep our communities safe.

Offset keeps it 100 in his latest Q&A with Apple Music 1
From dishing on his latest tunes and admiration for the late King of Pop Michael Jackson to just keeping it 100 on his own state of mind, there’s no holding back for the Georgia native in this new Q&A. Check out some of the key highlights and of course head to Apple Music 1 for the full-fledged interview once it’s live-live at 4:30 PM ET.
Offset talks about showing more personality in his solo career than he did with Migos…
I was trying to keep my... Not give too much, you know what I'm saying? Not give too much. But it was the wrong thinking. I was just thinking keep a little things private, because I feel like all the artists I looked up to, you didn't really know too much about them but what they showed. And then the game changed, and so you got to show the people and bring them into your world, and then they dive more into you, I feel like.
Offset says that rap music numbers are down because rappers all sound the same…
I'm noticing that the no content music ain't catching nobody ear. I'm noticing that the numbers are down in our genre specifically, because I feel like everything is so the same. The next new nigga is another nigga that was just here. It's nothing new being brought to the game. Not just on the sound side, but just all the way around as creatively too. The most videos be like a Rolls Royce in the background, some chains on, and that shit getting boring, fellas. You know what I'm saying? It's like no real entertainment. Why you got these pop and these country artists smoking shit, because they coming with the full around, the full around everything. The full package, you know what I'm saying? Everything ain't flexing.
Offset on dressing like Michael Jackson when he opened for Beyoncé, and how his career inspired him to go solo…
The inspo of Mike is pushing that narrative of taking it to the next level and taking it there, making my videos more film-like, having dialogue in the videos, little choreo in the videos, different chapters to the videos. And also, the story of him coming from his family, you know what I'm saying? He come from his family and wanting more for himself, and feeling like...It's nothing personal, but it's just a self-preservation where you want to be on the next level. And when I did the Beyonce thing, I respect her showmanship and how much she puts into her performances. All these other comparisons, it's cap. It's Beyonce. She's that Mike, where she could go out there and wow you the whole time.
Offset on giving fans a higher entertainment value…
Yeah, they want to experience. That's what I always say, you've got to give the fan an experience. Experience is not you on the mic, that shit don't be enough, bro. Then you're taxing on the ticket sales, you want $200 a ticket, but you ain't got no production, it ain't no... I feel like a show is like a movie, it's the beginning, the middle, conclusion, the end. You've got to have some dialogue in that shit. You've got to have some choreo in that shit. You've got to have some wow moments. You've got to have where everybody in the crowd feeling your painful song.
The colors and the lasers or the lights of the show is what matter also too. And I just feel like educationally-wise, it's not diving into that and learning that. It ain't never too late. And so that's why if you look at the lineups, this is getting thinner and thinner on them lineups. They're not trying to pay you $600,000 to come just walk the stage, brother.
Offset on being more hands on with his vision…
The pressure of getting my vision done too. A lot of people don't know what it takes to be these people behind the cameras and the production. And the niggers thinking they just pulling up with cameras and just doing shit. No, it's like the way shit needs to be shot. Then I got good team. People that we are using are doing it with a care and not like a job. After the album, I'm planning on doing a short film for the album. And I'm proud of myself, man. I shot two videos, which is Jealousy and Fan, with this whole situation of my own money, pay for everything, get the location with my team.
Offset on getting to delve into some of the deeper thoughts he has through his music…
On the healthy record, I'm just speaking on becoming successful, and also being on my own. Shit not sweet, shit not easy. I respect solo artists a whole nother level because it's like everything on you. And then speaking on certain shit, how people say, certain sayings, like the line when I said, "Money don't bring happiness, but I've been happy ever since I got me a couple Ms." So I feel like a lot of people that don't got the money feel that way too, that money don't bring happiness. I'm not saying money is everything, but it is at the same time in real life.
My mama ran out of money with my grandmother with the cancer shit. And then you get sick and medications, and shit that don't work, but it lasts you over, it'll get you over a little bit but it ain't going to fix the problem. Then there's institutes in Houston where they have special places for people with cancer where you have a higher chance of surviving, but it costs that money.
I'm not playing no games, I'm too grown. Too much at stake. Too many mouths to feed, and too many people to let down, to let them die. I can't let them down.
Offset on getting Cardi B’s feedback on his music…
No. So, for Jealousy, I played her Jealousy and I felt like, "Bae, get on this," I asked her get on that. And then after Jealousy, she was like, "I think I want to do another one.”
I feel like she wanted to do a female record, to also have girls shaking ass and shit. You know how she wants, she wanted some lit shit. She told me, that's why she's on it. We split the chorus, but I had to plug my shit in, and it was her at first, so she was like, "I want you to do this song." I was like, "Let's go back and forth on the vibe and make it a vibe, and fuck with it.”
Offset on the track, Say My Grace …
It was the first song I did after the tragedy, honestly. The beat was just so crazy, and I felt like I wanted a lit song that was talking about some shit. When it came to me and I was just like (singing). This just real shit. Those are real painful but I didn't want to make the song so painful because I felt like I didn't want to make my project about that because I don't want to relive that, and I don't want that to be a prison-like feeling.
But on that record... at first I named it Why God? So you know I changed the name because I never want to question God, but that's how this feel though when you go through that shit, and when you see it firsthand. Everybody didn't question that shit. Something happened or anything and they'd be like, "Why did this happen to me?" And I knew people would feel how I felt, those quotes are relatable.

Atlanta rapper Quavo knows the importance of quality head apparel so it’s a no-brainer he’s teamed up with one of my favorite go-to spots for fresh head top options - Lids, of course. With NCAA football season on deck, it’s only right he shows out for a super fire partnership.

Offset pulls through for Apple Music 1 to dish on everything
While the full-fledged interview is streaming for Apple Music subscribers, check out some of the highlights with Offset’s conversation with Ebro Darden.
Offset Tells Apple Music His New Album is Coming in October...
Yeah, we coming in October but right now we just applying pressure. Creatively, content-wise, I'm going to just keep my rollout going. The rollout started from “Jealousy", so I'm going to just keep the rollout starting from right then. So with this album I'm definitely going to be showing way more personality, way more who Offset is, creatively. Taking to the next level. You know how we come in, Ebro.
Offset Tells Apple Music Fans Can Expect a New Single in About 3 Weeks…
Yes, sir. In about three weeks.
Offset Tells Apple Music How He Landed a Jamie Lee Curtis Cameo in His Music Video for “Jealousy"…
I didn't know her before we shot but I just simply DMed her about it. I had a great idea about the iconic interview I seen. I been had watched it five years ago. I just felt like it was related to the subject of jealousy. So I just DMed her, bro. And when I DMed her she DMed me right back. And then after that I got her number and she was like, "I got you, I'm going to pull up." And then she pulled up to the crib in LA. No security, just regular. Came in with her suit and just shot. She the GOAT, so that was nothing for her to just do that. She got it shot in like 10 minutes and then we was done.
Offset Tells Apple Music About His BET Performance, Choreography, and The Importance of Showmanship…
I just feel like with showmanship, especially nowadays, it's really none. Especially in rap. A lot of these cats, they got great songs and big songs and very successful. But the showmanship and being able to take it there and get outside of the box of doing something you really might not be comfortable with. Because dances for me right now might not be the coolest thing at this age and stuff like that. But I got the talent, so I'm going to do it, just because I can separate myself from the rest of the artists and actually give old show. So I'm standing on showmanship, man. And challenging myself and taking it to the next level for myself, instead of just walking with the mic. Getting paid all that money, walking with the mic back and forth. And standing. That ain't enough. That ain't cutting it. That's why them ticket sales low.
Offset on the Importance of Family and Showing Up For His Children…
Nothing to be in the way of the family. Because, you know, the family is the foundation. And my foundation is my wife and my kids. When the cameras and everything is off, you're a real person. And your kids expect you to be there to take them to school, your kids expect you to be there for when they got their practices. Family just is... I just don't ever want to confuse the business with the family because at the end of the day the family is really my support system and what I got. And what I'm going hard for. I don't really have a lot of outside motivations outside of my family, because I want to make sure we good. I want to make sure I leave a legacy, and then financially my kids will be straight. Because I got five. So I got a lot so I got to work extra hard. And also the hardest thing with being a father and this job is time. You got a lot of time away because you got to go do a show. But we all, I always come back home after things said and done. But I just want to always keep that and push that narrative, man. Black man bro, they always on us. We don't take care of our kids and we really do. It's a lot of us that do. It's a lot of brothers go to work every day, 8, 10 hours to make sure they come back and feed the family. I just always, with my influence and with my platform, I always want to show that because it ain't shown enough. They just show the bad, like we don't do that. And there's a lot of Nlack fathers that take care of their kids and really take care of their household. And then me, I'm like the core of mine. No matter what's going on, I'm like the go-to guy.

Jim Jones’ ‘We Set The Trends’ remix video is insane
Jimmy hit the green light on dropping the visual to the masses on Hump Day. From Weezy F. Baby going in with his bars to Diplomats’ own Juelz Santana holding his own, it’s a movie.
Directed by Shila The Don, Jim Jones, Will C and Denity, Khaled is seen chilling in his classic, white maybach claiming no one believed in us, but God did! Lil Wayne starts off his first verse spitting iconic bars, per usual. The superstars all stand around in the cypher, rhyming over the horns melody. Juelz Santana then enters the scene on a rooftop with Jones with the global Diplomats logo covering the ground. Santana says “Gave them a head start now I'm shaving the distance, need mine with interest to be more specific,” dripped out in the most fashionable way, harlem-style.
Jim Jones & DJ Drama Gangsta Grillz We Set The Trends was released on January 14th, distributed through #VLrecords EMPIRE. The project marks the duo’s first collaboration since 2006’s The Seven Day Theory.

Jim Jones chops it up with Apple Music 1
Jimmy and Drama linked up to talk about their newly released studio effort. Jones made sure to spend some energy talking about how music is feeling from the Empire State.
“I feel like we coming back wholeheartedly with the Fivios and all the young energy that they're putting out there. With the drill music and how the drill music is starting to move further down south into the west coast. We took something from Chicago and made it our own. Now it's New York drill. It's a sound that we known for, it's just so much going on. So I like the way that the music industry is going in as a whole. The money is better, the stream's work in our favor, and New York we back on the rise. No disrespecting nobody else, but we been in a black hole for a long time and people have been throwing stones at us. So now to see us rising above that black hole makes me feel very good.”
Jones isn’t falling back after the new release. He’s already gearing up to put out a handful of more albums.
“I got six albums done, completed already. So now we going to start with the Gangsta Grillz. Then we going to go into the Lobby Boys, from Lobby Boys, we going to go into the Yung Berg album, from the Yung Berg album, we going to go into the Latin album I got, after the Latin album I got, I'm going into the Byrdgang Compilation. After the Byrdgang Compilation, I'm going to the Scram Jones project that I have. And then I'm going to do a whole Jim Jones project that I'll be working on during this year while all these projects are coming up.”
DJ Drama digs into his Jim Jones bond
Drama made sure to chime in on their new collaborative effort. The Philadelphia-bred and Atlanta-based deejay explained how this joint effort made more sense than most people would assume.
”Me and Jim, we talk frequently, you know what I'm saying? And discuss music and life and just the game and everything. And we started talking about it, I think probably even about maybe a year ago. Honestly, Jim reached out, we were bouncing around some ideas. He told me about some things he was working on and what have you. And it was around a time when I was working on other projects. Tyler's project was in the making and what have you. And then Jim came to me with the idea of how he wanted to do this project and it showcasing what he's got going on. He's dropping sh*t all the time. So his sh*t is just cracking the streets. And then as well as showcasing some new artists that he's working with, and giving it that platform. Gangsta Grillz has always been that type of platform to break new artists as well. I was hyped because me and Jim honestly haven't done a tape in over a decade.”
Jimmy speaks on linking up with The Migos
One of the biggest standout records off the new album is Jim and Migos’ We Set The Trends.’ Jones revealed how his close-knit relationship with Migos’ Takeoff ultimately sparked the collaboration.
“Me and Take have an incredible relationship; I got a good relationship with all of them. For me... We consider members of the same pressure. But he was in the city one day, he was like, "Yo, where you at?" I was in the midst of doing Gangsta Grillz. I’m at the studio, he pulled up. He just sitting there. He like, "Nah, load one up. Let's get one in. We due for one." We did it. I posted up on the gram being excited. Offset hit me like, "Nah, I got to get on that. Y'all bugging." I went to the studio, he was gambling that night. He ended up doing it. Then posted that up, Quavo seen it said, "Nah, you got two out of three. You can't forget the Cho." But the way Quavo did it was ill because Quavo actually came and did his verse and the video all in the same hour before he went into the plane. So he knocked the verse out. Then we got up and did the video right in the staircase... It was all organic. Like one of the most organic and dope records that I've made, the way it came together. And I actually was there with the artists while they did it. So that doesn't happen too often with all this digital stuff going on. So that was dope. Got all the footage, shout out to Migos, man. I tip my hat to them.”

Jim Jones finally locks in new Migos song rollout
Capo hit up his Instagram page to share some new footage turning up during Thanksgiving break. But even more than Jones being all smiles is the promise to drop the new record close to mid-December.

Quavo is the 'Fitted Santa' teller we need this Christmas season
It’s way deeper than rap when it comes to Quavo. The Migos leader is doing things way bigger than music-making and flexed his inner Morgan Freeman courtesy of teaming up with iconic hat brand Lids for a hilarious campaign.

Quavo stars in ‘Fitted Santa’ for Lids
Huncho’s new partnership features him sitting in his very own Santa chair at a Lids store reading ‘The Story of Fitted Santa’ showing how the special hat travels from person to person. It’s even handed out by Quavo himself to spread the holiday vibes this season.
Quavo’s starring role in the Fitted Santa campaign follows his signing with Lids as a partner in 2019 and debut his Atlanta Braves hat collaboration this past summer (just in time for the ATL native to see his beloved Braves win the World Series). Beyond Quavo, other Lids partners are participating in this Fitted Santa campaign – kicking off today through December 25 – to further spread the cheer include Las Vegas Raiders TE Darren Waller, Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones, and basketball skills trainer Chris Brickley.
As part of the Fitted Santa campaign, consumers can get a custom Fitted Santa “FS” pin with any $50+ purchase (in-store only) or a Fitted Santa design custom embroidered on a hat of their choice, available at any Lids store with a Custom Zone. Customers will also have the opportunity to enter to win exclusive Lids prizes in-stores, including a chance to win free hats for a year!
