Migos continue to do it for the Culture!!

In a few short years, Atlanta has made itself the epicentre of world rap. In the seedbed of OutKast, Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane, a new generation of rappers and producers in the Georgia state capital have re-written the rules of the genre, given life to original trap music and conquered the charts. Born in the early 1990s, Quavo, Offset and Takeoff, who formed Migos in 2009, cut clownish figures when they started out. Propelled to international stardom almost by accident as a result of an ultra-viral single, Versace, they can now boast of having invented a new style of rapping, what they call their triplet flow, which has been making waves.

With this discovery and their propensity for throwing out one anthem after another (the phenomenal Bad And Boujee, with Lil Uzi Vert, which broke all previous records, and the very competent T-Shirt), Migos have made a much-hyped return with their second studio album. Thanks to a five-star cast (Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Travis Scott and DJ Khaled are all on hand) and a density that surpasses anything the trio had achieved on their previous mixtapes (or indeed on their 2015 album, Yung Rich Nation), Culture sets itself apart from the vast competition through the inventiveness of the three rappers who constantly conceive vocabularies and twist new slang, and by the audacity of the hippest beatmakers in the American South, who bend over backwards to meet their requirements. A major milestone. © DB/Qobuz
