They’re presumably the hottest American hip hop trio in the game right now.. Ok, let me break it down for you real quick. The current chart-toppers, known by their individual stage names Quavo, Offset and Takeoff have been around the industry since early 2009, however last year was notably their highest career peak. In September last year, these guys were signed to G.O.O.D Music record label – the label founded by Kanye West. Although earlier this year, the trio revealed that they’re no longer affiliated with Kanye’s label. Around that time though, the trio released their second LP Culture and what can they say, it debuted at #1 on the US Billboard 200 chart. The LP features their breakthrough worldwide hit single ‘Bad and Boujee’with Lil Uzi Vert.
Furthermore, if you didn’t know already the Atlanta trio have become the most chosen rap feature in the pop music world for this year, with their remarkable appearances on Calvin Harris’s ‘Slide’alongside Frank Ocean and Katy Perry’s ‘Bon Appetit’. 6LACK will also be joining the tour to support his fellow Atlanta boys.
