American hip hop group founded in Lawrenceville, Georgia, in 2008. The group was composed of rappers Quavo, his nephew Takeoff, and Offset. Quavo is from Athens, Georgia, and Offset and Takeoff were born and raised in nearby Lawrenceville. As a group, they were managed by Coach K, the former manager of Gucci Mane and Jeezy, and frequently collaborated with producers such as DJ Durel, Murda Beatz, Zaytoven, and Buddah Bless. Recognized for their contribution to trap music in the 2010s, Billboard stated that the group "influenced pop culture and the entire English language by bringing their North Atlanta roots to the mainstream".
Migos released their commercial debut single "Versace" in 2013, which emerged from their mixtape Y.R.N. (Young Rich Niggas). They released several follow up singles, including "Fight Night" (2014) and "Look at My Dab" (2015), and saw further success on the Billboard Hot 100 with their top ten entries: "Bad and Boujee" (featuring Lil Uzi Vert) in 2016 peaking atop, "MotorSport" (with Nicki Minaj and Cardi B) in 2017 reaching number six, "Stir Fry" in 2018 reaching number eight, and "Walk It Talk It" (featuring Drake) the same year reaching number ten.
Migos released their debut album Yung Rich Nation in July 2015, through Quality Control Music and 300 Entertainment. In 2016, the group portrayed fictionalized versions of themselves in the first season of the Donald Glover comedy-drama television series Atlanta. Their second album, Culture (2017) debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart. The group signed a deal with Motown and Capitol Records in February 2017 and reached their furthest commercial success with their third album Culture II (2018), which became their second number one album and sold nearly 200,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. Their fourth album, Culture III (2021) peaked at number two on the Billboard 200.
On November 1, 2022, Takeoff was fatally shot in Houston, causing the group to disband the following year.
