Migos & YoungBoy Never Broke Again
“Avalanche,” the introduction to Culture III, sees the trio flaunting their success while reminiscing on their upbringings. The nostalgic beat, which is produced by DJ Durel and Quavo, samples The Temptations’ September 1972 single, “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone.”
On June 10, one day prior to Culture I...

My neck is a fridge
The rings and wrists, I retro the kicks
Ain't givin' no kiss, I'm givin' her dick
You starin' too long like you seen a ghost
So whip out your camera, take you a pic'
So when you get home, get back on your phone
Zoom in on the flick and look at the drip
She ask me to pay for the ass to get lift
I told her, "I'm better off gettin' you a Lyft"
Think I'ma put all my trust in a ho with no benefits?
Tell her, "Go jump off a cliff"
I go two-thirty, a cup of that purple
Put ice in my drink just to keep it on chill (Lean)
Fuck all that talk, you ain't been in the field (Nah)
Open my bank account, it give me chills (Chills)
Takeoff
Avalanche was written by Quavo & Offset & Takeoff & DJ Durel & Barrett Strong & Norman Whitfield.
Yes, Migos performed the song live on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on the evening of May 9, 2021. The trio wore matching black suits and was complemented by a live band.
The performance was inspired by the song’s music video, which premiered about twelve hours later.
We were feeling very cultural, we feel like we should grab something from back in the day that was hot and that was the culture back then, and see if we could put our twist on it, you know Migos always get that we can rap on anything vibe, we can make a song out of anything, so me and Durel, we cook...
