Quavo and Takeoff have unleashed Only Built for Infinity Links, their first full-length record under the Unc & Phew moniker.

The ATL rappers/family members began working on the project about two years ago, as they prepared to deliver the Migos’ Culture III album. Quavo and Takeoff spoke about the effort in a new interview with Complex’s Jordan Rose, explaining their overall vision and hopes for the release.

“We just want [listeners] to know that we’re consistent individually, as a duo, and as a group,” Quavo said about OBFIL. “People always ask for the [Migos] altogether. A lot of people love that, but at the same time, even when we would go off and do our own features and other things, it’s always successful. We’re just learning from each of our lives. Like I said, it was always just about the three of us and living fast and going crazy, now it’s just about giving them the origins and legacy and what we have done.. People can get lost sometimes, so we have to let them know that we started this and [that] we’re still here.”

Quavo, 31, and Takeoff, 28, said they drew inspiration from some of hip-hop’s most iconic duos: the OBFIL album art was a nod to OutKast’s Stankonia cover, while the title was a reference to Ghostface Killah and Raekwon’s 1995 project Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.
