Quavo & Ty Dolla $ign Team Up With Brian Tyler for Futuristic ‘Transformers One’ Visual ‘If I Fall’
Quavo and Ty Dolla $ign are taking their cinematic tunes to the silver screen. Huncho and Ty teamed up with Brian Tyler on Tuesday (Sept. 17) to unleash the futuristic visual to Transformers One‘s “If I Fall.”
Tyler is on double-duty as the uptempo song’s producer while also directing the robot-themed clip under his immersive audio-visual project Are We Dreaming.

Huncho and Ty dish out motivational rhymes over the thumping production while moving around a dark room dodging the flashing lights. Chaos ensues with scenes mixed in from the new film, and it’s easy to see how the sci-fi clip could align with the action-packed blockbuster.
“Ain’t no plan B and we won’t stand for defeat/ I’m in my prime, Optimus (Optimus), I’m goin’ big, Megatron/ I’ma sting, Bumblebee, now crown the king, hope you proud of me,” Quavo raps while incorporating Transformers characters into his bars.
Tyler, who is also on board as the film’s composer, reflected on having the opportunity to team up with the pair of hip-hop titans on the track that arrived earlier this month. “It was so dope getting to work with legends Quavo and Ty Dolla who both killed it in the video for ‘If I Fall,’ which has a sick sci-fi feel that brings you into the world of Transformers,” he said. “The sets were epic, it felt like we were on Cybertron.”
He continued of his all-encompassing involvement in the creative process: “It’s kind of crazy directing your own music video when you are also singing on it, playing the drums, editing the cut, and creating the visual effects. Being so integrated in the entire process has been insane but amazing.”
Transformers One hits U.S. theaters on Friday (Sept. 20) along with the release of the blockbuster’s soundtrack. With a reported budget of $75 million, the animated flick stars Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, Jon Hamm and more in the loaded cast.
