Yung Rich Nation is the debut studio album by American hip hop group Migos. It was released on July 31, 2015, by Quality Control Music, 300 Entertainment and Atlantic Records. The album features guest appearances from Chris Brown and Young Thug, while the production was handled by Zaytoven, Honorable C.N.O.T.E. and Murda Beatz, among others.
The members of the group were consisting by Quavo, Offset and Takeoff, collectively known as Migos. The trio are Atlanta-based Southern hip hop trio that were formed in 2011. The Southern hip hop group have been putting out releases of nine mixtapes that gained them such as a mass popularity at the time. On June 13, 2013, Migos released their first installment of the Y.R.N. series, titled Y.R.N. (Young Rich Niggas). On April 18, 2015, all three members were arrested on felony, gun, and drug charges, during their performance at Georgia Southern University. Quavo and Takeoff were released on $10,000 bond, while Offset still remained in custody, forcing Migos to cancel their promotional tour that would be assured to support the release of their debut album, titled Y.R.N.: Tha Album. The trio's first major label album would initially be released on the schedule date on June 16, 2015. However, the group announced that the official release date for their upcoming debut album would have to be on July 31, 2015. The group later changed the album's title, called Yung Rich Nation, along with the change to the album's cover artwork as well.
In July 2015, Migos announced that they will be going on the Yung Rich Nation Tour, with OG Maco.
On February 5, 2015, Migos released the album's first single, "One Time". The song was produced by Deko. On March 23, 2015, the trio released a music video for the single as a part of the cross-promotion for the YouTube Music Awards. "Pipe It Up" was released on July 7, 2015, as the album's second single.
