Huncho Jack were[citation needed] an American hip hop superduo composed of American rappers Quavo and Travis Scott.[1] The duo released their debut studio album Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho on December 21, 2017 to generally favorable reviews.

Background[edit]

The group's name is derived from Quavo's nickname "Huncho" and Travis Scott's record label Cactus Jack Records, which in turn is derived from his legal first name Jacques, which is the French equivalent of Jack in English.[2]

Main article: Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho

In December 2016, Quavo announced a collaborative album with Travis Scott on Scott's Apple Music Wav Radio show, previewing numerous recorded tracks.[1][3] On April 3, 2017, it was further reported Scott had been working on a collaborative album with Quavo, with whom he previously worked with on the track "Oh My Dis Side" from Scott's debut album Rodeo, and the Young Thug collaboration "Pick Up the Phone", released in 2017.[4][5] Speaking to GQ, he confirmed: "The Quavo album is coming soon. I'm dropping new music soon. You know how I do it though: I like surprises."[6][7]

In an interview with Montreality published on September 18, 2017, Quavo stated that the collaborative album would be released "real soon". He also stated that he and Travis Scott have over 20 records ready.[8][9] On December 7, 2017, a clip of Quavo being interviewed by Zane Lowe was posted on the official Twitter account for Beats 1. When asked about the title of their upcoming project, he confirmed it would be Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho.[10][11] Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho was released two weeks later on December 21, 2017, for streaming and digital download by Grand Hustle Records, Epic Records, Cactus Jack Records, Quality Control Music, Capitol Records and Motown.[12]

As of 2018, Huncho Jack is currently inactive as a duo, with Scott and Quavo later collaborating solely instead of under the group name.[citation needed]
