The Migos may have just released an album, but nothing can stop this wave as they issue the deluxe edition of Culture III. Takeoff, Quavo and Offset have all found themselves in various degrees of scandals in the past few years, but it seems the Atlanta trio has put their heads down and focused on the music. Culture III (Deluxe) adds five brand new tracks to the tail end of the original nineteen. From the bouncy and mysterious How We Coming, produced by the illustrious Murda Beatz to the controlled chaos of Menace, the Migos are swinging for the fences. Whether they end up out-battling Polo Gs Hall of Fame for this Mondays top slot on the Billboard 200 remains in question. But one thing is clear: the Migos are back and as hungry as ever.

Fuck Your Feelings Dro Kenji Dro Kenji is a product of the world in which he was raised. His music, reminiscent of a post SoundCloud era, is flush with references to XXXTENTACION and Trippie Redd, but is dripping with originality. Backed by Internet Money and Nick Mira, Fuck Your Feelings is packed full of digitally lush instrumentals and Kenjis versatile, bouncing vocals. On Fuck Your Feelings the young Kenji flexes the duality of his craft, issuing cold, clever bars alongside passionate melodies.
