Background
In October 2018, Quavo stated in an interview with the Associated Press that following his own recently released solo album Quavo Huncho, first Takeoff and then Offset will release solo efforts.[7] Along with suggesting that a collaborative project between Migos and Drake would be released due to their touring together, after a question on when new Migos music would arrive, he replied: "We'll be at the top of 2019. We're going to hit them with Culture III."[8][7]
In March 2019, Takeoff stated that the album was on the way.[9] In December, Offset revealed the album would be the last chapter in the "Culture" trilogy and that he has a song with late rapper Juice Wrld titled "What's Brackin".[10]
The album was delayed and rescheduled for release in early 2020. However, the album was pushed back again, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Quavo spoke to Billboard in March 2020, and announced the group's decision to hold off on releasing Culture III, explaining it was largely due to their inability to properly roll out the album once social distancing rules went into effect in most states in the US. Instead, the group will first release a different project, Quarantine Mixtape, in the lead-up to Culture III.[11]
On May 22, 2020, while on Lil Wayne's Young Money Radio show on Apple Music, Migos announced they would change the title from Culture III to another title. No release date has been announced yet.[1]
