The Migos were on fire last year and they clearly tend to
keep their title as kings of the southern rap scene because they have made
headlines yet again by rapping from a children’s book named “Llama Llama Red
Pajama”. The book was written by Anna Dewdney and was released in 2005.
Although I have never read the book, Migos’ freestyle tells me that it’s about
a Llama in red pajamas that lost his mama. The clip that you can watch below is
iconic, hilarious and part of the reason that the group has stayed relevant
since years ago when they blew up with Hannah
Montana and Fight Night.
Migos (which consists of Offset, Takeoff, and Quavo) have a
track record of creating catchy hooks over hard beats that makes girls want to
dance and guys want to know all the words. This isn’t the first time that the
group has did something out of the box. In 2015 the group gifted fans with an
EP called Trap Symphony in which
Migos teamed up with Audiomack Live to create orchestral versions of their
most popular tracks. Hearing Hannah
Montana Handsome and Wealthy and One
Time performed with an orchestra backing it was funny and creative so of
course the videos went viral in no time.
Some would say last year the group was also credited with
popularizing dabbing with their song Look
At My Dab. Last year the group also recorded a catchy jingle for their new
deal with Rap Snacks. The jingle that trended on Twitter with the hash tag and
video #withadabofranch was a promotion for their sour cream and ranch flavored
chips with Rap Snacks.
Now the rap group is gearing up to host a culture class at
NYU this coming Saturday. The class, which is already full, will discuss their
impact on music, fashion, dance and more. The groups upcoming album is named Culture and will be performed in a
concert this Friday when it is released according to XXL Magazine. Migos has been referenced as “The Beatles of this
generation” by many and have been at the top of the charts with their single Bad and Boujee since Danny Glover
shouted them out at the Golden Globes earlier this month. You can view the
freestyle, “dab of ranch” video, and Trap
Symphony below. The group never seems to rest and with a new album dropping
soon it makes you wonder what will Migos do next?
