"Hotel Lobby (Unc & Phew)" is a song by American rappers Quavo and Takeoff. It was released on May 20, 2022, and is their first release as the duo Unc & Phew. The song was produced by Murda Beatz, Keanu Beats and Fabio Aguilar. It is released as the first single off their collaborative album Only Built for Infinity Links.
The song was teased in February 2022 through Migos' Instagram account. Following its announcement prior to its release, fans noticed Offset's absence in the record, leading to speculation that Migos would break up. [1] [2]
However, after Takeoff's passing, Quavo and Offset on June 25, 2023, reunited at the BET Awards 2023, performing the song for a tribute performance dedicated to Takeoff. [3]
The song finds Quavo and Takeoff rapping in their signature "triplet flow" about their wealth, over a trap beat. [4] [5]
A music video was released alongside the single and directed by Keemotion and Quavo. It pays homage to the 1998 film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, with Quavo and Takeoff taking the roles of characters Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo respectively. [6] [7] They drive through a desert, dodging bats and picking up hitchhikers, and stop at a "glitzy" Las Vegas hotel, where they are seen taking psychedelic drugs, drinking, smoking, and doing "comedic performances".
