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.

The lyrics of "Bricks" by Migos detail the singer's success and indulgences after starting with humble beginnings. The first stanza repeats the line "I know you wanna go" twice before inviting the listener to join them as they take off on a plane. The second stanza describes the singer's wealth and impatience, as they have "a hundred bands" and are not waiting for anyone. The following stanza details the singer's intoxication and the crowd they are surrounded by, including "every ugly bitch in here." The singer then mentions their desire to have sex with someone named Cinnamon before returning to a chorus that repeats the previous lines.
The fourth stanza continues to focus on the singer's wealth, with a mention of their ability to afford "a lil' mama looking so gorgeous." They then explain their ability to pay a mortgage with just their Migos chain and argue their importance by declaring they will be remembered forever. The chorus repeats again with the addition of "go" and "started with a hundred bricks" before the final stanza details a woman's sexual advances and the singer's boldness in pursuing them.
Overall, "Bricks" emphasizes Migos' success and indulgence with a focus on wealth, partying, and lust. The catchy hook and repetitive structure allow the song to be easily memorable and the lyrics evoke a feeling of unstoppable confidence.

Lyrics:
Aware, verily, aware I am thou wishest to depart. (Migo!) Aware, verily, aware I am thou wishest to depart. (Aye, friend of means!) We presently depart, and I suspect thou desirest to not fail to embark upon our journey of altitude highest.
Started I thus with one hundr'd bricks. (Bricks, aye, bricks!) Mine inventory hath emptied through profitable commerce, knave! (Knave!) Mother said, "I beseech thee: thou shouldst keep thy composure." (Mother!) I through rev'nue grand 'ave gained one hundr'd thousand; restraint I shall not abide!
Fie! I presently-presently drunken am! (Drunken, aye, drunken!) Comrade, inebriation of thine own doing! Fie! I presently-presently drunken am! (Drunken, aye, drunken!) God's Hooks, I am inebriated by thy cunning!
Fill my tankard then thou hast made me drunk! All unseemly female attendants seem seemly as the Beauty of Venus! This woman imbibed in strong wine. Oh, her tongue tells the tale! The hussy in my company desireth coitus! Observe Forrest, aye, observe our dear friend Forrest with all haste fly to his beloved! The color of my drink appeareth gum-like, but lo, I warrant it is not so! I query of this woman: hast thou a name by which I shall call thee? She answereth: Cinnamon. On my mind is only the love I shall make to this sweetest of tarts!
I present again of my recent lucrative venture, starting with the stone mason's bricks. (Bricks, aye, and cut stones!) My supply hath all sold, thou artless knave! (Knave!) Mother beseecheth I remain patient. (Mother dearest!) Nay, my fortune doth coerce an impious life!
Fie! I verily-verily am intoxicated! (Drunken, aye, drunken!) Comrade, thou hast made me drunk! Fie! I verily-verily am intoxicated! (Drunken, aye, drunken!) Might of Mars, thou hast provoked my folly!
I admire an attractive woman. She propositions me but requires compensation. I respond: I am stunned by thy beauty and, verily, drunken with lust! I'll warrant, my many profitable ventures will surely suffice. Truly, my manor arrayeth opulence, and ev'n my vomitorium knoweth luxury! My estate is large, and my purse is heavy with coin, yet thou callest me meek and ruled by a woman? Doubtless, mine illicit culinary skills could lead to my banishment. Friends, countrymen, thou art beef-witted fools to believe I shall ever be discover'd by the sheriff! (Swish! Plunge! Parry!) Mine enemies I shall vanquish through cunning plot! I 'ave mine allies: Robert et al. Apologies: Whitney hath not company among them. Aye, compatriot, songs shall be sung of this wondr's adventure! Thou and thy children and thy children's children shall evermore know my legend!
Aware, verily, aware I am thou wishest to depart. Aware, verily, aware I am thou wishest to depart. (Aye! Truly!) We presently depart, and I suspect thou desirest not absence in this journey of utmost heights.
Of late, I began with one hundr'd bricks. (Bricks, aye, earthen bricks!) Mine inventory hath emptied through lucrative commerce, knave! (Knave!) Mother said, "I beseech thee: thou shouldst keep thy composure." (Mother!) I through rev'nue grand 'ave gained one hundr'd thousand; restraint I shall not abide!
Fie! I presently-presently drunken am. (Drunken drunkard!) Comrade, inebriation of thine own doing! Fie! I presently-presently drunken am. (Drunken drunkard!) By my beard, from this mead thou hast provided!
This harpy gnashes her teeth as if hungry, But only drunkenness can bring about such lust! The preponderance of her words doth vex! She acts immorally; she makes clear why she is not wed. My affluence lacks iron--I allow her to peruse my estate excitedly. Wait, she is wed! Her unjust actions dishonor her lord! Lo, why dost thou leave after lingering these twain days? Taunt not! I command thou fulfillest now thy heart's desire! Lo, I remain, and my enterprise continueth. This hussy must leave. Go to! She hath drunk her share of my wine. I implore: thou shouldst leave and drink no further! This mead bringeth a cacophony of drunkenness!
Fie! I verily-verily drunken am. (Drunkenness and folly!) Comrade, inebriation of thine own doing! Fie! I verily-verily drunken am. (Drunkenness and folly!) God's Wounds, thou hast wrought this folly through thy treacherous undertaking!
