Hotel Lobby AI Rap Video
Make the Hotel Lobby AI rap video with you and a friend as the duo, as a silent remake or on bars you wrote yourselves.

What is the Hotel Lobby trend?
"HOTEL LOBBY (Unc & Phew)" is a song by Quavo and Takeoff, released on May 20, 2022 under their duo name Unc & Phew and later included on their album Only Built For Infinity Links. The same year they performed it on A COLORS SHOW: two rappers in front of the same set and lighting as the trend clip, one microphone.
In early September 2026 people began using AI to star in their own version, starting with two cats, then couples, movie duos such as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, and footballers, keeping the original moves, lip sync and audio. By late September it was all over TikTok. On September 23 Quavo reposted the original performance, and he later reminded fans that he and Takeoff, who died in November 2022, are where it all comes from.
People also call it the Hotel Lobby COLORS AI video or the Quavo and Takeoff AI trend. Our template keeps the studio, the framing and the trade-off flow, and lets the two of you rap your own lines.
