Originally the group started as family, who all had an interest in music. It wasn't until 2008 that this trio took their talent seriously, and put together and released their first project "Juug Season" in 2011. The group later released another mixtape titled "No Label" in 2012, which featured "Bando", a track that was soon labeled a "dope-boy anthem".
In 2013, Migos released their breakout single "Versace". The single was produced by Zaytoven and peaked at number 99 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Later that year, Canadian rapper Drake brought the single more recognition when he remixed the song, adding a verse, which he would later perform at the 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival. On June 13, Migos released their mixtape Y.R.N. (Young Rich N***as), which features the lead single "Versace", to critical acclaim. Brandon Soderberg of Spin gave it 8 out of 10 stars, commenting that it "is a super-cut of Dirty South vibes" and compared the three members to Gucci Mane, Soulja Boy, and Future.
On June 15, 2013, the group performed at rap radio station Hot 107.9's Birthday Bash. In October 2013, the group was featured in XXL's section "Show & Prove". "Versace" was placed in multiple year-end lists of 2013, including number three on XXL's "The 25 Best Songs of 2013", number four on Complex's "The 50 Best Songs of 2013", number five on SPIN's "50 Best Songs of 2013," number 38 on Pitchfork's "The Top 100 Tracks of 2013" and number 69 on Rolling Stone's "The 100 Best Songs of 2013." Y.R.N. (Young Rich N***as) was named the 27th-best album of 2013 and sixth-best hip-hop album of 2013 by SPIN.
Migos released their debut album Yung Rich Nation in July 2015, through Quality Control Music and 300 Entertainment. Their second album, Culture, was released in January 2017 also through both record labels, and debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart. The group later signed a deal with Motown and Capitol Records in February 2017, and followed up the latter album with Culture II in January 2018, giving the group their second number one album in the United States.
On October 28, 2016, Migos released the first single of their new album Culture. The single was titled "Bad and Boujee". The song was produced by Metro Boomin and features vocals from fellow American rapper Lil Uzi Vert. The music video for the single was released on October 31. The single went on to top the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Migos' first number one single in the US. Their second album, Culture, was released on January 27, 2017. In April 2017, Migos were featured on Katy Perry song "Bon Appétit" from her fifth studio album, Witness.
On May 30, 2017, Migos (branded by Quality Control) released "Too Hotty" which is featured on the compilation album, Quality Control: Control the Streets Vol. 1 that was released on December 19, 2017. The single was officially released on streaming service on August 24, 2017. The music video was released on August 25.
On October 27, Migos officially released "MotorSport", the lead single off their second studio album Culture II, along with Cardi B and Nicki Minaj. The second single, "Stir Fry", was released on December 20, 2017 on the official Migos YouTube channel. The song was produced by Pharrell Williams. The song was used for the 2018 NBA All-Star Weekend. A promotional single was released on January 22, 2018, titled, "Supastars". It was produced by Honorable C.N.O.T.E., Buddah Bless, and Quavo; it was co-produced by DJ Durel. Culture II was released on January 26, 2018. The album contains twenty-four tracks, featuring production from Metro Boomin, Dun Deal, Murda Beatz, Travis Scott, Zaytoven and others.
In October 2018, Quavo stated that Culture III would be released in early 2019. The album was then delayed and re-scheduled for release in early 2020. However, the album was pushed back again, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Quavo spoke to Billboard in March 2020, and announced the group's decision to hold off on the release of Culture III, explaining it was largely due to their inability to properly roll out the album once social distancing rules went into effect in most states in the US. Instead, the group will first release Quarantine Mixtape in the lead-up to Culture III.

No, no, no
Migo!
Go!
Call me what you want but you can't call me broke
Pull up with that choppa and a telescope
Got 50 chickens in with me, runnin' around in my city
We makin' a motion picture, michelangelo
I'm seein' the snakes in the grass sh!
I got the antidope, antidope, antidope, antidope
Antidope, antidope, antidope, antidope
Yo, quavo
I got the antidope try to come juuggin' and I'm bustin' your cantaloupe
I'm trappin' out of the bando, still got tools like rambo
I'm feelin' like larry houdini
The pack was just here did you see it
The plug he be here any second now
If he didn't then something went down
We losing a bags, gotta go to the stash
At the age of 19, I was running from the task
Put it on my mama, no flex, no brag
Young nigga been had cash
Jus me and rel money got rich off a half a bag
That's why they mad
Call me what you want but you can't call me broke
Pull up with that choppa and a telescope
Got 50 chickens in with me, runnin' around in my city
Young rich nigga trappin' out Bentleys, rich nigga trappin' out Bentleys

I'm feelin' like Scarface, Al Pacino comin' off a banana boat
And how the fuck 200 migo touchin' down in Mexico
Fuckin' around with Eduardo, told me that he know Armando
Armando fuckin' with Carlos, Carlos wrappin' em up in the barcodes
Ridin' around with that Scotty and brand new Bugattis
OG Miley Cyrus, snakes tryna give me the virus
But I got that antidope like I know science but I'm no scientist
Fuckin' around with them bombs but I am no terrorist
Piss on your bitch that R Kelly shit
I'm on mount everest sippin' on medicine
Call me what you want but you can't call me broke
Pull up with that choppa and a telescope

Whippin' and cookin' and flippin' chickens
You say you got money but pussy nigga you don't have a witness
Cause I've never seen it

Keep talkin' bullets go through yo' beanie

Young nigga plugged in like adapters
Stomp yo' ass out like a alpha
Ahead of you niggas you still in the first chapter
Call me what you want but you can't call me broke

The opening chant-like phrase of "What you want: Migo!" immediately establishes the song's connection to Migos, one of Atlanta's most popular rap groups. They begin the song by declaring their wealth and status, with lines like "Call me what you want but you can't call me broke" and "Young rich n***a trappin' out Bentleys." The mention of trapping refers to drug dealing, and the line "I got the antidope" implies that Migos are selling drugs to the addicts who want a cure. This also sets up the title of the song, "Antidote," as a metaphor for the drugs they're selling.
Throughout the song, the group emphasizes their wealth and success, mentioning they are making a motion picture and comparing themselves to Michelangelo. The imagery of snakes in the grass suggests that they are aware of and cautious about people trying to bring them down. This includes rival drug dealers, as seen in the lines "I'm trappin' out the bando, still got tools like Rambo" and "Ridin' around with that Scotty and brand new Bugattis."
Overall, "Antidote" is a depiction of the glamorous but dangerous lifestyle of drug dealers. It shows the pleasures of wealth and success but also the constant threat of violence and betrayal.
