Migos and Lil Yatchy are two of the biggest names in hip-hop right now but the journey to their success is one that many have wanted to see documented.

Speaking with Complex for a cover story on Quality Control following last month’s GRAMMY Awards ceremony in New York, Migos and their label’s founders, COO Kevin “Coach K” Lee and CEO Pierre “Pee” Thomas, discussed Migos’ greatest roadblock to sustained success: 300 Entertainment.

“300 was the biggest hurdle,” Offset told Complex writer Brandon “Jinx” Jenkins. “They tried to hold us against our will. It wasn’t never no in-house hurdles we ever had, like where it had been a problem. With 300, that was the biggest thing, going through times and situations with them. And we still did them right. Left them a nice piece of work.”

Pee also added that the label would not let them sell records for 18 months. Brining up ‘Look At My Dab’ “they created the whole dabbing movement. It was one of the biggest songs of that year…but you aint’ see it on iTunes,” he added “we couldn’t sell it. We couldn’t stream it. We was in a battle where it was like we were being shacked down.”

“As soon as we got out that deal, five days later we leaked ‘Bad and Boujee.”
