Timelapse - YRN
Feb 20, 2023

The subject of this piece is an artist who, along with his Migos collaborators, soundtracked various phases of my life.
"Sacrifices" featuring Big Sean takes me back to summer 2017, on a 125cc moped in Yeading on my way to a courier shift at Burger King. "Sloppy Toppy" featuring Travis Scott transports me to Amsterdam in the winter of 2015, taking in the sights and shooting a lookbook with Ricky.
We lost Takeoff to gun violence in 2022, aged 28. But his music, his art lives forever. As does this portrait.
