I use the music to vent, and a lot of the stuff that I am writing about or was writing about contained a lot of anger and anxiety, stress and depression, so that's how the album came out so dark.
Music was my one way to vent.
It's never been seen that a street artist go as far as I've gone - keep consistent without wanting to do a bunch of ventures outside of music to keep my face out there.
I would enjoy venturing into music, as I do write songs and compose music! And, of course, dance, rhythm and performance are in my blood, so eventually I see myself doing something in that area, surely!
If you want the Migos to come to your venue, you need to have security there because of the type of music we're rappin'. We get fans excited.
I've asked to go back into theaters and smaller venues because to me, in smaller venues I can really demonstrate my commitment to quality. Theaters are great containers for music.

I am pretty well versed in the knowledge of music.
You can always hear me breathing during my verses, but that breathing becomes part of the music.
Country music especially can get very formulaic - you know, you have to have your verses and a bridge and a chorus, and a lot of the songs are written as just plain and simple poetry on the road.

From a very early age, I decided that I wanted to be able to do my music but still be able to live a normal life.
Coachella is a melting pot of cultures, vibes, style, and, of course, music. I look forward to it every year.
Music can bring about different vibes on the field, off the field, urban life, going to church, leaving church. Everything the world may bring, there's a song for it to put you in the right frame of mind.
Music is always a creative process that comes from the heart. It's a feeling, a vibration, that we ride on.
