From Stir Fry to Paris studio magic, Huncho taps Skateboard P for his next sonic era

Quavo just threw us a curveball in peak flex mode. He confirmed that a full length album with Pharrell Williams is in the works, and get this, they recorded every single track in Paris, at Louis Vuitton’s HQ.

That’s not a cameo. That’s a long play. Pharrell already holds the reins as Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Creative Director, and he built a studio inside the brand’s Paris headquarters. That space is now being used as the creative crucible for this new Quavo × Pharrell collab.

Quavo spilled the tea to paparazzi: “It’s on the way. We dropping it, me and Pharrell. We recorded the whole album in Paris. We recorded at [the] Louis V headquarters.”

If you’re thinking this is uncharted territory, not exactly. Quavo and Pharrell have past history. Pharrell produced Stir Fry with Migos and also co-worked on Quavo’s solo cut “Go All the Way.” That said, this feels wilder, a full LP together, Parisian aesthetic, fashion collab energy baked in.

Quavo’s latest solo was Rocket Power (2023), a project that walked heartbreak, legacy, and grief (especially after the loss of Takeoff) at his own pace. This upcoming album suggests he’s switching gears from catharsis to craftsmanship, less looking back, more building forward.

We don’t have a release date, full tracklist, or feature list yet. But the breadcrumbs are wild: Louis Vuitton visuals in his recent Instagram dump, Paris shots, “new stuff on the way” captions.

This isn’t just another Philly-to-LA studio collab. It’s a deeply curated cultural statement. It says Quavo wants to merge the fashion world with the rap game, to record in spaces that look as iconic as the bars he spits. He’s not just rapping, he is auteur mode.

So keep your ears open, your timeline locked. Because if this project lands as it’s being pitched, Quavo might just reset what it means to drop an album.
