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 ↴
Migos
(Goose with another one)
Talk to 'em Takeoff
Takeoff, Takeoff
You niggas be bitin' my style and I like it
But you niggas know you weren't rapping like this
Trendsetter, I'm a trend setter (trendsetter)
Knockin' them out like I'm Mayweather
Bando look like it's a homeless shelter (bando)
She poppin' that molly like Alka-Seltzer (steady)
Whippin' that dope with the terminator
Wrist is spillin' dope all on my Breitling bezel (bright, bright)
My mansion got eighty acres
Trap underground, they calling me Undertaker (damn, damn)
They wonder why I got the Bentley, the Fisker
I put in work and dedication (hard work)
Fifty pairs, Giuseppe steppers
Maison Margielas, they think I'm on Rocafella (nah)
The kids, they call me Slick Rick (why?)
I make up a script, they call me the storyteller (damn)
I got the Britney, the Whitney, the Iggy
We murdered Versace like Biggie (murdered it)
Hannah Montana, fuck nigga we been in that Coogi
It's time to kill em' with Givenchy
Red bottoms, scenes are forensic
Designer frames, limited edition
Pushin' one button, my roof and then its missing (Porsche)
Dope on my Louboutins, just left the kitchen (uh)
Now turn on the radio, you gon' hear every rapper
Tryna rap like the Migos (real shit)
Fuck nigga wanna clone?
Been rappin' like this since No Label (been did that)
Fuck the fame, rather be rich
Been gettin' money, since No Label (been getting that)
You waiting for it, now here it go, the intro to No Label 2
See, it's funny, my nigga, right?
Cause everybody wanna sound like us
But they don't wanna give us the respect, right?
You fuck niggas gon' learn we started this shit
We the first niggas to come out the A, on that real street shit
That real Northside shit, holdin' their muthafuckin' county down
Not city, nigga, county, nigga
Tell another nigga to do it like us, nigga
Qc the label, money on the table
Migos Gang, No Label (Quavo)
Way back in the da,y nigga made No Label in a basement (way-way back)
Young nigga got all that talent (huh)
On the radio didn't have a placement (no, no)
Linked up with the hood (link up)
Og Head Huncho, Migos (OG Migos)
Then we took over the North (North)
Twenty dollars to get your song played at Flamingos (whew)
Remember the days of hitting licks? (Remember?)
Every Christmas, had to be St. Nick (Christmas)
Payin' bills, tryna meet the rent (bills)
My mama she say that she sick of it (mama)
I had to go get to the Benjamin (I had to)
Sorry Your Honor, I'm innocent (I'm sorry)
Money moves the commitment (money moves)
No label, my life you witnessed it (go)
From kickin' doors (go), taking gold (go)
What did I cash out on? I don't know (no, no)
I will not tell on my soul (why?)
'Cause I don't know if the case closed (shh, ooh, what?)
I know that you hate that Versace went gold (you hate it)
Now I'm walking 'round with a blue bankroll (hundo)
Independent, never ever won't fold (QC), gone
See, I learnt the term from my nigga Biggie, right?
We went from ashy to classy
We went from having shit to fucking your bitch, my nigga
No Label, DJ Ray G
These my motherfucking brothers right here, Migos Gang
What niggas you know
Made a million in one summer without flipping bricks?
Ask your favorite rapper
I bet he say us, nigga
Qc, the label (Offset)
Ha, ha, No Label
Locked up on every mixtape (locked up)
Quavo told me, "Nigga, wait" (wait)
This is the only way we can escape (only way)
I realized it when I sat down for an 8 (realized it)
Grandma' told me and Quavo to be patient (grandma)
Grandma' was a cancer patient (damn)
Before she died, she sat us down (sat us down)
Said stay together and we're gonna make it (we made it)
For you niggas don't know (you niggas don't know)
Never really sold dope (never)
But I kicked door (boom)
Free my nigga Willy Mae gave him 3 to the dome (free him)
He didn't tell a soul (he didn't)
You making me sick to my stomach, I might go and vomit (ugh)
You niggas is cloning (cloning)
We not together 'cause you my opponent (not together)
Taking our style, nigga, we never loaned it (taking the swag)
The labels wanna sign, that ain't on my mind
The critics and blogs, you know they ain't lying (critics)
Thirty thousand just to look at the time (30k)
Twenty five hundred for my Louboutin (ha)
Mansion Elan was our stomping ground
Our money big, your money minimized (big money)
Taking shots 'cause your buzz died
Cutting the top off the Lamb' make it circumcised (skrrt, skrrt)
The world is fucked up but the strong survive
Name your favorite club in Atlanta, my nigga
We ran that shit
We turned Mansion Elan
Into Migos Elan, nigga
We turned up sessions, in the Migos Playhouse, nigga
Every strip club
Our main bitch, our side bitch
Her side bitch, her side bitch worked there, nigga
We run this motherfuckin' city
We started new Atlanta
These niggas jackin' our swag, they better stand in line
And pay, bitch
(Goose with another one)
Talk to 'em Takeoff
Takeoff, Takeoff
You niggas be bitin' my style and I like it
But you niggas know you weren't rapping like this
Trendsetter, I'm a trend setter (trendsetter)

The lyrics to Migos' song "No Label Intro" reveal their confidence and pride in their accomplishments as innovators in the music industry. The opening lines of the song assert that other rappers are copying their style, indicating that Migos' aesthetic is unique and original. The chorus emphasizes the group's success as independent artists and the title of the song emphasizes the fact that they have never needed a label to achieve that success. The verses play out like a personal history, reflecting on the early days of making music in a basement, linking up with fellow artists and industry mentors, and gradually building up a career as successful artists.
The lyrics of the song paint a sepia-toned portrait of the group's rise to fame, emphasizing the grit and determination required to make it in the music industry, as well as the loyalty and camaraderie of their fellow rappers who have started a new movement in Atlanta. It is interesting that Migos reference other artists and rappers like Biggie, Versace, and Rocafella in the lyrics of the song; this indicates that they are aware of their place in the history and cultural lineage of hip hop.
Overall, the song "No Label Intro" is a testament to the creative ingenuity and hardworking ethos of Migos as well as the wider trap rap scene in Atlanta. The lyrics suggest that their success is well-deserved and that they are proud of their unique aesthetic and cultural contributions to the world of hip hop.
