Fort Erie, Ontario-native, and hip-hop super-producer Murda Beatz is featured on a pair of tracks on the new Takeoff album, The Last Rocket.
The 24-year-old Young Murda – born Shane Lee Lindstrom – co-produced track number 4, “Vacation,” with German production duo Cuebeatz, and worked with Smokescreen on track number 6, “I Remember.”
All three members of the award-winning Migos have been pursuing solo careers in 2018, with Offset kicking things off last Halloween by dropping Without Warning, a collaborative release with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin. Quavo followed this past October with Quavo Huncho, which is currently sitting in the number two spot on the Billboard Canadian albums chart.

A lyrical giant with a prodigious musical aptitude, Takeoff is the secret genius who has been credited for initiating some of Migos’ biggest hits including “Fight Night” and “T Shirt.”
Says Pierre ‘Pee’ Thomas, CEO of Quality Control, “Takeoff is a man of few words, he usually lets the music speak for itself.”
Takeoff has also collaborated with artists such as Calvin Harris, Travis Scott, Lil Yachty, Tee Grizzley and more. Yesterday Takeoff revealed the cover to The Last Rocket created by visual artist Hebru Brantley, renowned for his iconic characters, public works and solo shows internationally including Chicago, London, Los Angeles, Switzerland, New York and many more.
