2015 was a rough year for the trio of Offset, Quavo, and Takeoff. In mid-April, they were arrested at Georgia State University for possession of marijuana and firearms. Offset got the brunt of this, spending eight months in prison. He was released in early December, and when he reunited with his group, they made this. It's a risky move releasing a sequel to your most famous record, but in Migos' case, it proves to be a virtue. By all means, this is a celebration of what made them famous in the first place: catchy, hype, explosive trap with no shortage of one-liners and no shortage of charisma and attitude. The production is filled with bangers, with icy synths and imposing bass permeating the records' length. At one hour, that length may seem daunting, but the tape is such fun that it doesn't seem as long. In retrospect to last year, they've certainly made sure their 2016 starts out on the right foot.
