Quavo releases new single ‘Backwards’ featuring T. I

Rapper Quavo has released a new single titled ‘Backwards’, featuring a guest verse from T. I. The track was produced by Pharrell Williams and serves as a preview for Quavo’s upcoming third studio album, ‘Qrömelife’.

Scheduled for release on October 2 through Quality Control and Motown, ‘Qrömelife’ is executive produced by Williams. The album rollout has already included the singles ‘Haavin’ and ‘Trance (Walk It Down)’.

The collaboration on ‘Backwards’ brings together two different generations of Atlanta hip-hop, pairing T. I., a veteran of the Southern trap movement, with Quavo, a prominent figure of the city’s newer generation. Quavo noted that working with Williams has provided significant creative inspiration and a focus on traditional song structures, including hooks and bridges.
