Culture (stylized as C U L T U R E) is the second studio album by American hip hop group Migos. It was released on January 27, 2017, by Quality Control Entertainment, 300 Entertainment and Atlantic Records. The album features guest appearances from DJ Khaled, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Travis Scott and Lil Uzi Vert, while the production was handled by Metro Boomin and Murda Beatz, among others.
The album was supported by two singles: "Bad and Boujee" featuring Lil Uzi Vert, and "T-Shirt". Culture received generally positive reviews from critics and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. It also topped the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, becoming Migos' first number one album on both charts. It also debuted at number one on the Canadian Albums Chart.
The group first initially announced that the title for their second album would be called No Label 3, however, they later changed it to Culture. As of October 2016, the release of their sophomore album was delayed due to their conflict with 300 Entertainment.
The cover artwork is made by Stole "Moab" Stojmenov, a young italian graphic designer based in Milan, and makes explicit reference on the turning point that this album represent for Migos themselves. The cover is what Migos gave to American hip hop culture and the city of Atlanta in every sphere, from music to fashion.
