Migos
“One Time”
YRN The Album (out in 2015, self-released)
The Migos boys are back with another irresistible banger. Y.R.N. The Album may be billed as their proper debut, but the ATL crew is one of the most consistent outfits in recent hip-hop, consistently delivering varied, impressive mixtapes. The trio goes in over a skeletal, bass-driven beat with each of their hyperactive verses complimenting the adhesive hook. Offset’s middle verse hits especially hard, as his melodic, dynamic flow effortlessly tiptoes between the producer Deko’s percussive slaps. Most artists would have folded under the hype that the Internet-breaking “Versace” created 18 months ago, but it looks like the Migos are just getting warmed up.
