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]

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] The duo had previously worked together on several tracks; "Sloppy Toppy", "Oh My Dis Side", from Scott's mixtape Days Before Rodeo and debut studio album Rodeo respectively, "Kelly Price" from the Migos album Culture, the Young Thug collaboration "Pick Up the Phone", and appearing as features on Drake's "Portland" from his 2017 mixtape More Life.[4][5] Speaking to GQ, Scott 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]

Quavo announced that the group would release their debut album Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho as of 2017. Scott also appeared on an episode of “The Big Talk” where he talks about his relationship with Quavo, in which he says, “He my best friend since day one”.

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]
