Kirshnik Khari Ball (June 18, 1994 – November 1, 2022), known professionally as #Takeoff

Born June 18, 1994 Lawrenceville, Georgia

Died: November 1, 2022 (Age 28) Houston, Texas

Years active: 2008–2022

Occupation: Rapper/Songwriter

Genres: Hip Hop/Trap

Labels: Quality Control; Motown & Capitol

Formerly of Migos, Kirshnik Khari Ball (June 18, 1994 – November 1, 2022), known professionally as #Takeoff, was an American rapper. Along with his uncle Quavo & first cousin once removed Offset.

The group scored multiple top ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100 including “MotorSport” feat Nicki Minaj & Cardi B, “Stir Fry”, “Walk It Talk It” feat Drake & “Bad & Boujee” feat Lil Uzi Vert, the latter of which peaked at the top of the chart (although Takeoff was not present on the single). He also received two Grammy Award nominations. The single quickly became an internet sensation, giving birth to a multitude of memes that played off the lyrics “rain drop, drop top.” The song got an even bigger boost after “Atlanta” creator & star Donald Glover name-dropped the single during an acceptance speech at the 2017 Golden Globe Awards.

“I really wanna thank the Migos, not for being in the show, but for making ‘Bad & Boujee,’” Glover said at the time. “Like that’s the best song ever.” During a recent conversation on the podcast “Drink Champs” just days before his death, Takeoff accepted accolades for his stellar performance on the new project.

“It’s time to pop it, you know what I mean? It’s time to give me my flowers, you know what I mean?, Takeoff said. “I don’t want them later on when I ain’t here.”

After a #hiatus #dmvstandup will pay #tribute to #TakeOff with a #magazine dedicated to him RIP🕊️

After a lengthy #hiatus, #dmvstandup #dmvstandupwewinning will pay #tribute to the fallen artist #TakeOff @yrntakeoff, in the form of an entire #magazine dedicated to him. Which, chronologically exhibits the quiet, but effective, meaningful, purposeful & determined life he lived, loved & enjoyed 🚀🚀🚀

After this horrifying & senseless execution went viral; coupled with the gruesome scenes of other great talented artists, like: #FBGDuck @real_fbgduck063, #YoungDolph @youngdolph, #KingVon @kingvonfrmdao, #Mo3 @hotboymo3, #PNBRock @pnbrock, #XXXTentacion @xxxtentacion, #PopSmoke @realpopsmoke so easily flooded the internet, I decided to back pedal on my efforts, task & assignment for a few ticks, while I try to grasp the concept of all these heinous deaths, that merely trend for a couple of days, then on to the next smh 🕊️

I’m numb, stagnated & baffled by it all & actually fearful to even highlight our babies from the #DMV, as they’re outta the way, for the most part & not a product of the “industry” chaos that’s been occurring & plaguing our culture, hearts & minds for the past 3 years. I said to myself, I’m good on trynna get them noticed, onna larger scale, just leave them be for now. Then, I wrestled with the fact that my promise; to do everything in my power, to help them level up, would be returned to me void & I had to weigh the odds, for which I decided to stick to the former for a while & refrain from showcasing local artists, until this irresponsible violence passes over 😩

In the interim, I’ll use the time to feature, showcase & pay tribute to the talented Kings & Queens, everywhere, who have left us too soon.

As always it’s still #SeeYouAtTheTOP

-Passion ❤️

But, there might be agony, when you listen to the DMV game rookies. So, don’t do that! Don’t humiliate yourself; listen to someone with more velocity & give to it.

An interesting fact about him, that not many people know, is that he’s also a gifted artist as well. This is something unknown to many people, but let me tell you that he #bigzonedout2ez loves art & music is an overarching passion that surpasses everything. But yeah, having that musical prowess, further adds up to his ability to make him an attractive singer. After all, that’s what musicians do, you know.

Comedy for me is more than just a hobby or a profession; it is a passion; that makes its mark immediately. This is because I #bmorefunnymar try to do my best, regarding quality & genuineness. The idea is to relate the jokes to actual events, experience or trending topic of discussion & let the audience figure out if they can relate for themselves. It is more complicated than it sounds & let me be honest, my goal is to spread love & happiness through this.

Yeah sure, there’s a lot of hate out there, but don’t worry, your boy is here to fix it all. I #bmorefunnymar believe that laughter is a language of its own & it helps in eliminating hate & helps in spreading love, genuine care & sensitivity.

So what are you waiting for guys, do attend my stand-ups & keep spreading love & happiness to get it back as well. I’ll need a lot of support from you fam & you can get your booking, by contacting me #bmorefunnymar now

@703smally #703mally #September2022 page #22 DMV Stand Up – We Winning… XXL Issa Takeover Magazine

Vision: To motivate artists from the Northern Virginia region & to gain recognition in the DMV metropolitan area

Popular releases: From My Side Album.

Inspiration artists: Pete Rock, Madlib, Large Professor, DeDa Baby Pa & Westside Gunn

Where you wanna be in 10 years?: I #703mally wanna be the main benefactor for NOVA artists, to have the platform & resources necessary to expand their creative talents across the nation. I want to be one of the greats in DMV history.

Mally Swayze, #703mally your very own MC & Audio-visual technology integration technician. To put it mildly, we just consider him “The man who wears many hats” ✅ The more, the merrier is very suitable for him if I do say so myself 💯

Well, first of all, the idea is to benefit & help people simultaneously & being a musician along with being a tech guy enables me to do that effectively. I #703mally make music to aid people during their highs & lows; where they have some good shit to listen to & they feel better, at the same damn time 🎯

On the other hand, being a tech-savvy guy is something that lets me help people with any of their audio-visual needs & concurrently, those same individuals can also tune into my music & have a 2-for-1 type of deal. You’ll realize this when you end up in a position where you need some tech help & you have my #703mally number in your contacts & also my music in your favorite playlist. It’s a pleasure knowing me, in so many different aspects & I’m actually good at WHATEVER I do; all around the board😉

Lastly, I’m #703mally also a father & I take great pride in the fact that I’ve invested a lot into nurturing & caring for my Lil ones.. They are the part & parcel of who I am today. This is why you are seeing loads of posts with my kids in them. I’m excited & thrilled to know that we are going up 🔝 together & I plan to leave a huge legacy for them, no doubt.
