Culture II is an album by the Migos that dropped after much waiting. The album had an announcement a long time ago and people had to wait a long time until it was released. It came out on 1/26/18 and is 24 tracks long and full of interesting beats and verses and stands out among the waves of trap coming out recently in it’s uniqueness when it comes to beats. Usually the new albums are boring and unoriginal. The Migos compliment each other extremely well with Takeoff’s dark and raspy style going well with Offsets fast flows and catchy hooks.

The tape starts of with the song Higher We Go The song’s beat is dark and “metallic” which goes very well with Takeoff’s voice and Quavo’s general style. In my opinion it is the second best song on the tape and gets you super hyped for the rest of the tape. Then the 3rd song, my favorite, “BBO” is a song featuring 21 Savage and keeps the hype going. Other standout songs are “White Sand”, “Notice Me” and the lead single “Stir Fry”. You can tell that the album was meant to be a story of success and makes you feel good. The mood it brings and the quality of the features and beats make it super enjoyable. Fellow student Alika Meyer says “Walk it like I talk but times 87” to express his dislike for some of the more repetitive songs on the album.

Overall I can’t really find much to complain about while listening to this album. I guess one complaint is that it isn’t very long, but nowadays this isn’t really much of a complaint as many albums are too long and bloated for their own good. There is a lot to offer here and the artists definitely brought their personalities to the tape. The uniqueness would probably be its biggest strength given the current state of the industry and how much new music there is on any given day. I’d highly recommend this album and give it an 6.5/10.
