Takeoff added that he reached out to Raekwon via Instagram while working on the album to get the OG’s blessing, and in return, he randomly pulled up to give them the Wu-Tang seal of approval. “It was really family that kept us strong.” The name literally translates to how Quavo and Takeoff’s bond is unbreakable and will last forever, like the infinity link. The title also reflects the modern-day Cuban link, the micro welded infinity link, that is the strongest jewelry link out right now. They borrowed the black-and-white background from OutKast’s iconic Stankonia cover, the title from Ghostface and Raekwon’s 1995 classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, and their poses are meant to resemble Jay-Z and Kanye West during their Watch The Throne era. Quavo and Takeoff studied legendary rap duos of old throughout the album’s conception, and paid homage to them in the cover art and title. It marks a new chapter for the two Atlanta rappers-revealing more about their origins than any project they’ve released individually or as the Migos. The project has been over two years in the making. The new duo’s energy reverberates through the Zoom call as they beam about the arrival of their debut album, Only Built For Infinity Links. “They are usually going to try and put people together, and it doesn’t work like that because they don’t fit,” Takeoff expands. “With us, it was really family that kept us strong,” Quavo tells Complex. While the Migos era has halted with Offset branching away from the group, the Unc & Phew dynasty is just beginning.
