Swing (Quavo Song)

''Quavo Huncho'' is the debut studio album by American rapper and Migos member Quavo. It was released on October 12, 2018, by Capitol Records, Motown, and Quality Control Music. The album features guest appearances from other fellow Migos members Takeoff and Offset, plus appearances from 21 Savage, Drake, Saweetie, Madonna, Cardi B, Lil Baby, Travis Scott, Normani, Davido, and Kid Cudi. The album was preceded by four singles: "Workin Me", "Lamb Talk", "Bubble Gum" and "Pass Out" featuring 21 Savage.

Critical reception

''Quavo Huncho'' received generally mixed reviews from music critics. In one review, Neil Yeung of AllMusic believed ''Quavo Huncho'' "struggles to maintain momentum. Like many contemporaries, the album is overly bloated – designed for high streaming counts – and could use some trimming. With a mostly forgettable first half and a strong second half, sharper attention to editing could have made this a stronger album. Otherwise, ''Quavo Huncho'' is enjoyable but unmemorable. It's not quite a Migos album, but it comes close enough to tide fans over until album number four." Paul Thompson of '' Pitchfork'' concluded that ''Quavo Huncho'' is "flat and nearly anonymous", consisting of "passable, professional songs that are barely moving and pale when compared to nearly any full-length Migos record." Thompson added that the album is "so ordinary, so uniquely uninspiring that it makes it difficult to imagine a solo work from Quavo that would truly grip our attention." Kassandra Guagliardi of ''Exclaim!'' concluded that "By the end of the project, ''Quavo Huncho'' begins to feel more like a mixtape, with Quavo popping out to add a few unenergetic verses and repetitive adlibs rather than a strong solo debut. ''Quavo Huncho''s individual features provide more of a draw than every solo track combined, proving that Quavo still needs some time to grow and develop as a solo artist." Thomas Hobbs of ''Highsnobiety'' complimented the album's production and guest appearances but criticised Quavo's performance and lyricism: "The reality could be that we're starting to suffer from Migos fatigue; the group's reliance on trap beats and repetitive, catchy hooks is starting to feel more and more one note. ''Quavo Huncho'' serves as a warning that the group must start to show more development in their sound or risk alienating rap fans, who might be getting bored with their sole formula."

Quavo admitted in a 2020 interview that he felt that he could have produced a better album: “I tried to club too much on my album, and I didn't give them nothing personal,” .."If I would've went a little personal, I think my album would have been a little bit better.”
