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.

Migos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Trendsetters, go-getters, drug dealers
Dope dealers, all my niggas
Can't leave that house without your pistol then I fucks with you
Pimp niggas, can't forget about my rich niggas
Bad bitches independent that don't need a nigga
Ain't got no flaws, pause, bitch look like a model picture
Ball, we gon' buy it all, hit the mall with you
This for them niggas and them bitches been through pain with you
Get the picture?
Trap niggas trap in the trenches
They been fingerprinted, they all in the system
Rest in peace Sandra Bland and Michael Brown
I pray I don't become a victim
Rest in peace Pistol Pete, nigga I miss you
Smoking that OG gas bag in a swisher
Drinking on codeine, don't fuck with that Henny
And it's 7% alcohol in it
Free West Side, he doing five
That's a sentence, time ticket
Want my niggas to be free so they can just see how we living
That boy Freaky, he be geekin' on them Xans, trigger itching
Look like Kim Possible from Disney, I send him on a mission
Niggas throw salt on your pimping, they can't wait to catch you slipping
Tripping, burnt out niggas ?, don't know what these niggas sipping
Trapping that contraband, never run out of narcotics
Drug dealer that is my nigga
Asian persuasion, caucasian, black, white, and Jamaican
I never discriminate races
Trendsetters, go-getters, drug dealers
Dope dealers, all my niggas
Can't leave that house without your pistol then I fucks with you
Pimp niggas, can't forget about my rich niggas
Bad bitches independent that don't need a nigga
Ain't got no flaws, pause, bitch look like a model picture
Ball, we gon' buy it all, hit the mall with you
This for them niggas and them bitches been through pain with you
Get the picture?
Got a bitch up in the kitchen whipping up Diana
Got a banana, black bandana hang off the handle
Trapping the Porsche, hit the panel
Stuffing the dope in the camel
My niggas is too hot to handle
This is a real nigga anthem
Bad bitches, independent, on her business
I pull up in the phantom and I got ten models with me
Plus ten choppers with me
Sipping on drink, my doctor with me
Fuck that ho in a drop top Bentley
Too many shooters so you cannot get me
Hop in the foreign, and jump out the Bentley
These bitches sucking on dick so don't kiss me
Ain't talking money so dismiss me
Your bitch keep telling me she miss me
She eat up the molly like Nestlé
Call me sir when you address me
Don't let the money get the best of me
Can't let these niggas get the recipe
Trendsetters, go-getters, drug dealers
Dope dealers, all my niggas
Can't leave that house without your pistol then I fucks with you
Pimp niggas, can't forget about my rich niggas
Bad bitches independent that don't need a nigga
Ain't got no flaws, pause, bitch look like a model picture
Ball, we gon' buy it all, hit the mall with you
This for them niggas and them bitches been through pain with you
Get the picture?
Ball players, trap niggas, trendsetters
Gang members, we the same niggas
Thick women, little bitty women
Big mama, little mama, y'all the same sister
I been on my grind, I beat the odds
I know that I tried at least a thousand times
My grandmama died, she stay on my mind
At least I let her see me at the top and I made her smile
I keep it real for my niggas, got love for my niggas
Remember them days, we kicking in doors, came up off of pistols
And it's so sad niggas in your hood hating on you
But it's all good, you got niggas cocked and aimed on 'em
Trendsetters, go-getters, drug dealers
Dope dealers, all my niggas
Can't leave that house without your pistol then I fucks with you
Pimp niggas, can't forget about my rich niggas
Bad bitches independent that don't need a nigga
Ain't got no flaws, pause, bitch look like a model picture

The lyrics of Migos's song "Chapter 1" portray a gritty and street-oriented lifestyle. The opening lines highlight different types of individuals in their community who they associate with, including trendsetters, go-getters, drug dealers, and dope dealers. They emphasize the importance of carrying a pistol for protection, showing loyalty to those who adhere to this lifestyle. They also mention pimp niggas and rich niggas, acknowledging the different roles and statuses within their community.
The next verse reflects on the hardships faced by trap niggas, who are stuck in their environments, often dealing with the criminal justice system. They pay tribute to Sandra Bland and Michael Brown, victims of police brutality, expressing their fear of becoming victims themselves. They also mention missing someone named Pistol Pete and their affinity for smoking potent marijuana. The lyrics further touch on the desire for freedom and the contradictions of substance abuse, discussing their friend Freaky's addiction to Xanax. The song also denounces those who betray or undermine their pimping, and the difficulties in identifying their opponents' motives.
The chorus repeats the initial lines, emphasizing their respect for individuals who conform to their lifestyle and highlighting their solidarity with those who have shared their pains and struggles.
