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.

Nothing but hunneds (wassup Rel?)
That's the sound of them mocking birds and they humming
Bow bow prow, that's them hollow tips as they comin'
Up with yo skirt!
Woo woo, fuck Gwinnette county
Fuck!
Aye throw that shit, throw that shit 12 outside
Hurry up man, hurry up man
Let's go nigga, let's go come on
It's a knock at my front door
12 kickin' in my front door
Now we runnin' out the back door
Droppin' pistols it's the life of that bando
It's a knock at my front door
12 kickin' in my front door
Now we runnin' out the back door
Droppin' pistols it's the life of that bando
It's a knock on my front door
They lookin' for Takeoff they heard on the streets
I be sellin' that blow (who?)
It's a pot on a stove, up in a bowl
A hundred blunts rolled
I hit the back door
Me and Quavo meet offset at the store
Call real money, talkin' bout money
Nothing but hunneds (wassup Rel?)
That's the sound of them mocking birds and they humming
Bow bow prow, that's them hollow tips as they comin'
Up with yo skirt!
Woo woo, fuck Gwinnette county
Fuck!
Pull up I skurt in that Audi
Hit 200 on the highway
Skip going crazy in the Mazzie
Driving like a nigga caught a body
Next day pull up in the 'rari

My white boy he told me I'm gnarly
It's a knock at my front door

Now we runnin' out the back door
Droppin' pistols it's the life of that bando
It's a knock at my front door

Droppin' pistols it's the life of that bando
Man fuck, my mama hit my phone

Droppin' pistols it's the life of that bando
It's a knock at my front door
12 kickin' in my front door
Now we runnin' out the back door
Droppin' pistols it's the life of that bando
The lyrics of "F" by Migos depict the harsh realities of living in the streets and being involved in the drug game. The song narrates the story of Takeoff, who is a drug dealer and constantly faces the risk of getting caught by the police. He mentions selling cocaine, cooking it on a stove, and rolling a hundred blunts. Takeoff faces police raids on his home, which forces him to flee and drop his weapons. The use of the term 'bando' is used to describe the trap house. The song also highlights the importance of money in Takeoff's life and how he is willing to risk everything to make more money.
The chorus of the song has a dark and eerie tone, with the sound of mockingbirds and the 'bow bow prow' of hollow-tipped bullets as they are shot. The phrase 'up with yo skirt!' is a warning to those not to get caught by the police, typically meaning to run and hide. The lyrics also reference various locations such as Guwinnette County, a place in Georgia where the Migos grew up. The song ends with a reference to their success and being able to leave the country on a private plane.
Overall, the song shows the harsh realities of living a life of crime, the urgency to make money, and the constant fear of being caught by the authorities.
