A press release from Quality Control Music reads, “ATLANTA, GA, (May 17, 2021) – The following statement was released today by the Migos through their label Quality Control Music, located in Atlanta, GA, in response to questions about Culture III.”
Quavo, Offset and Takeoff’s statement simply says, “June 11th. We’re Back.”
The format pays homage to Michael Jordan’s famous announcement in March 1995, in which a fax machine was used to announce his return to the NBA and Chicago Bulls from his short-lived baseball career.
On Friday (May 14), Migos released their new single “Straightenin,” with the music video amassing seven million YouTube views in three days. During a conversation with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Quavo talked about the trio’s big return and plans for even more success.
“We came to remind them,” he said. “We came to take them down a modern-day stroll. They seemed to forgot. So, it’s time to bring the boys back together and come back strong. Stronger than ever. There’s more that we need to see, it’s more championships, it’s more plaques, is more cheese, it’s more souls that we got to break, it’s more grounds we got to break. That was just the first pop-up.”

He added, “In 10 more years, and this 10 more years of Migos, just 10 more years of new sound, 10 more years of the tripplin flow. This right here going put us over the top so we can sell out soccer fields.”
