Last November, Migos member Takeoff was murdered. Today, the rap trio's Quavo shared a song in his friend and nephew's memory called "Without You." The track reflects on their rise to fame performing at Coachella and making it big, but also on the intimate scenes where blunts were passed. It's an incredibly vulnerable, devastating memorial in song.

Following Takeoff's death, Quavo released an emotional statement. "It’s so hard to tell you Ima miss you because you always with me and we did everything together," he said. "Since we were kids you been by my side looking up at me, them eyes waiting on me to make the next move…then you followed up right behind me. You always made sure I did it first so you can do it right with me."

The final paragraph reads: "Always been, ain’t nun gonna change. Me and u knew we gon always be with each other for life and just like now we gon see each other again. I love you with all my heart. I’ll never leave you I guess God jus ain’t need my help. So can you ask Him for me what I gotta do to be with you again!!! In a place where there’s no pain, no demons, no jealousy, no envy, no greed. Whatever we have to do God to be at that place of paradise send us the tools now cuz we wanna be with Take."
