Quavo has released an emotional tribute song to his late Migos band member and nephew Takeoff entitled "Without You."
Takeoff, full name Kirshnik Khari Ball, was shot and killed in Houston, Texas, in November. He was 28 years old.
In "Without You," Quavo raps about missing Takeoff's smile and hoping to see him again "in heaven."
"I wish I had a time machine/ Just so you take a ride with me/ I miss just how you smile at me/ Unc & Phew until infinity," Quavo sings.
Quavo and Takeoff released their debut album together — '"Only Built For Infinity Links" — under their group name "Unc & Phew" in October
In the chorus of the song, Quavo sings: "Out in the galaxy / Up in the stars / Over the universe / It's bigger than mars / See you in heaven / See you in heaven / When I see you in heaven / I'ma be with my dog."
The tribute song was shared on Quavo's social media Wednesday with the brief message: "Long Live Take Infinity."
Takeoff was shot in Houston outside of a bowling alley in the early hours of November 1.
Police said the shooting stemmed from an argument over a "lucrative dice game" in which the rapper was not involved and that he was an "innocent bystander."
In December, Patrick Xavier Clark, 33, was charged with the murder in connection to the Takeoff's death, while Cameron Joshua, 22, was charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon.
On Thursday, ABC 13 reported that Clark was released on a $1 million bond Wednesday.
Clark is due to appear in court again in March.
