Lana Del Rey & Quavo Reveal Release Date for Upcoming ‘Tough’ Collaboration

28 June, 2024

Lana Del Rey and Quavo are giving Americans a new National Anthem to celebrate with this Independence Day.

Huncho and Lana set off some fireworks of their own when revealing on Friday (June 28) that their anticipated “Tough” collaboration is slated to arrive on July 3.

“Tough 4th Of July,” Quavo captioned the Instagram post with a firecracker emoji. The post features a Polaroid of the “A&W” singer hanging an icy chain around the Migos rapper’s neck. “Tough 07.03.24,” reads an inscription on the photo.

Fans from both artists flocked to the comment section in excitement. “Felt the aura before this was posted,” one person wrote while another added: “No one is ready for my new personality when this drops!”

One more joked: “You didn’t want to make it be on July 4th because it would have replaced the holiday. Very thoughtful.”

Earlier in June, both artists teased a snippet from the Western-trap blend: “Tough like the scarf on a pair of old leather boots/ Like the blue-collar, red-dirt attitude/ Like a .38 made out of brass/ Tough like the stuff in my grandpa’s glass/ Life’s gonna do what it does/ Sure as the good Lord’s up above/ Cut like a diamond shining in the rough, tough,” they sing together.

News first broke regarding plans for the unlikely collaboration in May when Quavo shared another teaser from the “Tough” outro where he invites Lana to join him in the ATL’s Northside.

“If u come from where u come then u were born….Tough!” LDR and Huncho penned to social media at the time.

“Tough” marks the first time Quavo and Lana Del Rey will join forces. Lana has teased an upcoming country album titled Lasso, while the “Hotel Lobby” rapper has unleashed a handful of singles this year, including the thumping “Mink” earlier in June.
