Grammy-nominated artists Quavo and Lana Del Rey join forces with Luxembourg-based DJ and producer Gravagerz for the latest dance remix of their hit single “Tough.” After charting on the Billboard Hot 100 following its original release, Gravagerz reimagines the country-trap summer anthem into an ethereal club banger. His lush chord progressions, high-tempo drum groove, and deep-house synth melodies create a new backdrop for Quavo and Lana’s heart-string pulling vocals, making the track a must-play for DJs. This new rendition follows last week’s hypnotically funky Channel Tres remix, adding another layer of excitement to the song’s ongoing success.
This week, The Rocket Foundation once again partnered with The White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention (OGVP) for the Fortune Impact Initiative at the St. Regis in Atlanta, GA. The event featured Turning Pain Into Purpose: A Conversation On Gun Violence, moderated by Fortune Magazine’s Executive Editor Kristin Stoller. The panel included OGVP Deputy Director Greg Jackson, the late Takeoff’s mother, Titania Davenport, and his grandmother Edna Maddox.
The conversation focused on the devastating loss of loved ones to gun violence and the ongoing mission to prevent others from facing similar tragedies. Davenport reflected on the pain of losing her son, Migos member Kirsnick Khari Ball, known as Takeoff, who was fatally shot on November 1, 2022. She emphasized the need to “grow and go” by turning grief into action.
The panel discussed the disparities between urban and rural approaches to gun violence prevention, particularly in the South, and called for a nationwide response to the crisis.
This marks the third collaboration between The Rocket Foundation and the White House OGVP, following their inaugural Rocket Foundation Summit on June 18th. Held at Atlanta’s Carter Center, the summit honored Takeoff’s legacy on his 30th birthday, bringing together 300 attendees, including gun violence prevention organizations, survivors, and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, to discuss solutions to gun violence across the country.
Quavo, Ty Dolla $ign, and ARE WE DREAMING (Composer – Brian Tyler) – roll out the official music video for their resilient anthem, “If I Fall,” for Paramount Animation and Hasbro Entertainment’s upcoming motion picture TRANSFORMERS ONE.
Directed by Brian Tyler (ARE WE DREAMING) and DJ Furth, the epic video for “If I Fall” features a dynamic visual aesthetic with red and blue laser themes that reflect the intense juxtaposition between Optimus Prime and Megatron. Quavo, Ty Dolla $ign, and ARE WE DREAMING (chorus vocals) build up the tension as they passionately deliver their verses while clips from TRANSFORMERS ONE are shown on the background screens and integrated throughout the video, serving as a backdrop to the impending fallout between the two characters. Complete with drum solos from ARE WE DREAMING, the visual perfectly encapsulates the emotional weight and energy of the track.
About the video, Tyler said, “It was so dope getting to work with legends Quavo and Ty Dolla who both killed it in the video for “If I Fall”, which has a sick sci-fi feel that brings you into the world of Transformers. The sets were epic, it felt like we were on Cybertron.”
Tyler also edited the video alongside Elizabeth Saltzman. “It’s kind of crazy directing your own music video when you are also singing on it, playing the drums, editing the cut, and creating the visual effects. Being so integrated in the entire process has been insane but amazing,”Tyler gushed. “This video is actually the first of its kind for my upcoming audio-visual project Are We Dreaming, which I direct and create all the visuals for, as well as produce the music which spans many genres but is primarily centered around bass music and hip hop. So hype for the world to see what we’ve cooked up!”
Quavo, Ty Dolla $ign, and ARE WE DREAMING (Composer – Brian Tyler) join forces on their new collaborative anthem, “If I Fall,” for Paramount Animation and Hasbro Entertainment’s upcoming motion picture TRANSFORMERS ONE. The three superstars build off one another’s resilient verses, vowing to “take no prisoners” and refusing to give up when the odds are stacked against them. “It’s in my bloodline; I have too much pride,” declares Quavo on the track.
Set to release September 20th, TRANSFORMERS ONE features a star-studded voice cast, including Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi, with Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm. Debuting as the first-ever fully CG-animated Transformers movie, TRANSFORMERS ONE is the untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, better known as sworn enemies, but once were friends bonded like brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever.
“I started writing the song “If I Fall” as a personal way to both express my gratitude to those who truly lifted me up when I fell down in life and a rebuke of those who turned away,” says composer Brian Tyler. “This concept is the core story of TRANSFORMERS ONE, so it’s a synergistic song. I was blessed to have both Quavo and Ty Dolla $ign contribute their incredible vocals to the track – it turned out so dope!”
