Wasting no time in 2018, Migos markedly eclipsed their sweeping success by gracing the cover of Rolling Stone and delivering an unforgettable performance of the Pharrell Williams-produced single "Stir Fry" on The Late Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The group also sat down for an in-depth interview for CRWN with Elliott Wilson on Tidal and were featured as emoji's in an Apple Music commercial also featuring "Stir Fry." The first single from CULTURE II 'MotorSport' featuring reigning first ladies of hip-hop Nicki Minaj and Cardi B showcases the two female sensations making their first official appearance on a song together and currently holds the #1 spot at Urban Radio.
