Last year, Migos released a shit-ton of music, mostly in the form of mixtapes. It was overwhelming and oppressive, but that’s that mixtape game, right? RIGHT. But as the year drew on, each release felt increasingly more like stopgaps before the release of the Atlanta group’s much-hyped studio debut, Y.R.N.: The Album, with a bunch of people in the meantime blabbering about the so-called “Migos flow” (which is really just a triplet rhyme scheme that has been in existence since the time of the dinosaurs).
So, it’s actually kinda refreshing that instead of a Migos mixtape proper, we get a compilation called Migo Lingo. The 18-track tape showcases the artists signed to their YRN imprint, including Rich the Kid, YRN Lingo, Johnny Cinco, and Migos themselves, with additional features by Bobby Shmurda, Skippa Da Flippa, and PeeWee Longway. Pretty much all of them do that ol’ Migos flow thing. But I guess that’s the case here and everywhere else in the rap world these days.
