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.
Goin' Threw It
Migos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
My nigga ain't even loyal
He snitchin' on the kid
I heard it from my lawyer
I'm goin' through it
My bitch ain't even my bitch
She let the whole team hit
This bitch ain't worth shit
My grandma in the grave
The Lord told me be patient
I'm goin' through it, I gotta get this money
I'ma always ride in foreign
The codeine what I'm pourin'
I'm goin' through it
I'm goin' through it, man this shit so crazy
'07, lost my brother, 15 years in them cages
Now my grandma rest in peace
That was my first lady
Thousand dollar specs on my face
To block the haters
Goin' through it right now but
Still chasin' the paper
My bitch fucked the whole team
I never should have saved her
And now I'm goin' crazy
Cause I'm just goin' through it
I still walk around with Rugers cause
I like to shoot 'em
I thought I loved that bitch
To the mothafuckin' core
I bought her Jimmy Choos
I bought her Juicy Couture
I treated her like a queen
But she was the neighborhood whore
And now she tryna ride with me
Cause now I'm on tour money, money, money
Money got me in a Porsche
Money, money, money
Money got my fingers sore
I'm rollin' up a 3-5 blunt look like a core
Feds watchin' me, still servin' J's
I'm paranoid
I'm goin' through it
My nigga ain't even loyal
He snitchin' on the kid
I heard it from my lawyer
I'm goin' through it
My bitch ain't even my bitch
She let the whole team hit
This bitch ain't worth shit
I'm goin' through it, my brother in the cage
My grandma in the grave
The Lord told me be patient
I'm goin' through it, I gotta get this money
I'ma always ride in foreign
The codeine what I'm pourin'
I'm goin' through it
I'm goin' through it
My niggas in the slammer
I had to go to Wal-Mart and
Collect some Arm & Hammer
And go hard in the kitchen
Finessin' nothing but tickets
Do numbers water whippin', Young Quavo
Yeah I did it
My bitch, she smashed the whole team
Damn that ho too friendly
So you know when I sign that deal
Got to know I ain't buyin' that ho no Bentley
Ain't seen him in two years
Now he wanna come around
Gotta know somethin' fishy
And I told my momma if
Somethin' happen to me
She can have my riches young Quavo
Ain't leavin' my wealth to
None of these bitches
Cause once you dead and gone
She'll have another nigga in your kitchen
Water whippin', show her how you did it
If I get her the Bentley
She'll have another nigga in that Bentley
I'm goin' through it
My nigga ain't even loyal
He snitchin' on the kid
I heard it from my lawyer
I'm goin' through it
My bitch ain't even my bitch
She let the whole team hit
This bitch ain't worth shit
I'm goin' through it, my brother in the cage
My grandma in the grave
The Lord told me be patient
I'm goin' through it, I gotta get this money
I'ma always ride in foreign
The codeine what I'm pourin'
I'm goin' through it
I've been goin' through it, shit been crazy
2000, lost my cousin, cried like a baby
My ancestors been goin' through it
Back then in slavery
Now the time faster, I am the master
Could've been me back then
Nigga woulda been like "Fuck your master"
My name Takeoff, I am NASA
Every move I make, is spectacular
Northside is my nation, and I'm an ambassador
I pray to the man above, palm to palm
Remember back in '07, almost lost my mom
That woulda hurt my heart
Prolly wouldn't have no heart
Prolly would've been stopped right then
Prolly wouldn't been no start
Back to kickin' them doors
Back to juugin' them cars
But I pray to God, cause he healed my mom
If you talkin' 'bout that bread
Then I want every crumb
Runnin' to the money like I'm in a marathon
Foreign bitch, pop a zan like she pop a gun
Smokin' on that kush
It smell just like an underarm
And the check say it wanna
Get married to my thumb
Goin' through it like a nigga
Locked up with no bond i'm goin' through it
2000, lost my cousin RiRi, rest in peace
'07 lost my big bruh to the feds
Free Player Made just lost my grandmomma
Rest in peace Sally Smith, I love you
Done took so many losses
It's only right that we win
