In 2017, Migos firmly pulled everyone and their mama into their orbit Culture, especially its inescapable lead single, 'Bad and Boujee,' laid the foundation for contemporary rap's reckoning.
In 2013, Migos released the breakout single 'Versace' before grinding their way up to 2015's Yung Rich Nation. Their performance showcases why we first fell in love with the Atlanta trap trio: charismatic synchronization, playful braggadocio and, of course, their exhilarating resurrection of the triplet flow.
Migos performs the remainder of their Tiny Desk (home) concert - 'Straightenin' and 'Birthday' - with Offset leaping around the trendy streetwear spot Gallery Dept., Quavo bouncing on armchairs and Takeoff working the shoulder. Juvenile delight fills the air, and it feels like a competition of who can vibe the hardest. By the time Quavo hits the second half of his opening verse on 'Avalanche,' all three members of Migos are vibrating with energy, falling out of their seats to ride the beat.
