        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re ready to <strong>walk it talk it</strong>, <strong>Quavo</strong> wants to hear from you.</p><p>The 29-year-old <strong>recent grad,</strong> one-third of platinum-selling hip-hop artists Migos, will be sitting at the judge&#8217;s table — alongside groupmate TakeOff, producer Murda Beatz and songwriter Starrah — for Triller&#8217;s new talent-search competition, &#8220;Step Up to the Mic.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m looking for a superstar,&#8221; the &#8220;Pick Up&#8221; artist shared with Page Six. &#8220;Someone who has the ambition, someone who&#8217;s willing to learn, but also knows what they bring to the table. Someone unique and real.&#8221;</p><p>Most importantly, Quavo is looking for someone willing to put the effort in, adding, &#8220;they have to have that mamba mentality — RIP Kobe — and be ready to work.&#8221;</p><p>The Atlanta native added that singers should be prepared to &#8220;adapt&#8221; and be willing to push themselves past their comfort zones.</p><p>&#8220;Make sure your voice is as powerful as the ones spitting bars, and just no complaints,&#8221; Quavo warned. &#8220;Sometimes, being a singer, even I complain — like, &#8216;my voice ain&#8217;t right today&#8217; — but it&#8217;s really important to bring it every time with no excuses.&#8221;</p><figure id="attachment_5111643"  class="wp-caption alignright"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/05/louis-vuitton-08.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/05/louis-vuitton-08.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/05/louis-vuitton-08.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Migos members Takeoff and Quavo</span><span class="credit">Getty Images</span></figcaption></figure><p>Prizes for the winner include an original hit song crafted by the judges, an accompanying music video, and a major record label and management deal of up to a year. With the necessity of major labels constantly being questioned since the rise of online distribution, Quavo understands the appeal of indies but maintains majors still have their place.</p><p>&#8220;Major labels can help you out financially, they can get your records spins and they make connections you never thought you could get, if the song alone isn&#8217;t making that connection,&#8221; the hit-maker argued. &#8220;When a record is super, super big and just undeniable, you may not need a record label, but sometimes you just need an extra push, and that&#8217;s where the label comes in.&#8221;</p><p>But Triller&#8217;s show — with its vertical vids and Boost Mobile sponsorship — is undeniably a part of the modern era of the music industry, which Quavo understands firsthand.</p><p><span >&#8220;We were a part of that early streaming era and a part of social media before it became what it is now, so we&#8217;ve seen how things have changed,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Social media helped us a lot. We were discovered off the internet and [then] a lot of our songs and videos went viral. If it wasn&#8217;t for the internet, we probably wouldn’t be here today.&#8221;</span></p><p>And as for his role in the judging dynamic, the musician has no problem going Simon Cowell on contestants.</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going hard, I&#8217;m not sugar-coating nothing,&#8221; Quavo established. &#8220;You better come with that s&#8211;t, you hear me?&#8221;</p><p>To learn more, check out <strong>Triller.co.</strong></p>]]></content:encoded>
