Preview
Takeoff, born Kirshnik Khari Ball, announced The Last Rocket at a private listening party in Los Angeles, California on October 23. The album’s release makes him the second member of Migos to release a solo album following Quavo Huncho, which was put out by Quavo last month. The album will be followed by Offset’s solo debut, and culminate with the release of the group’s projected 2019 album Culture III.
On October 30, Takeoff posted a trailer for the album that showed imagery from the 1969 moon landing and audio of Neil Armstrong’s famous speech. The imagery is intercut with shots of Takeoff rapping the album’s lead single, “Last Memory.” Check out the music video below.
Credited producers on the album include Cassius Jay and longtime Migos collaborator DJ Durel. The album’s tracklist has yet to be released, but there have been several confirmed songs; including “Infatuation” and “Ghost” featuring Lil Yachty.
According to Billboard, who attended the Takeoff listening session, “Infatuation” is also a standout track. The track sees Takeoff admiring a crush from grade school and going to the skating rink with her, and is said to be sonically similar to the Culture II track “Made Men.”
