Culture III
*This album includes content in Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos.* Before they dropped *Culture III*, Atlanta’s Migos declared it the final entry in the franchise. They’d long established themselves as hip-hop trendsetters and needed only to complete the trilogy before moving on to the next phase of their near decade-long chart domination. And with this last installment, Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff made sure fans understood that they’re fully in tune with everything that’s happening in rap. *Culture III* is 19 songs of the world they oversee, packed with the most beloved voices in contemporary rap—besides their own, of course. The’ve amassed features from Drake, Cardi B, Future, Justin Bieber (less of a surprise than it once was), and two of hip-hop’s most revered fallen stars, Pop Smoke and Juice WRLD. If you’re surprised that a group of three would create space for that many guests on a project where their own voices get near equal run time, you’re clearly unfamiliar with how self-assured the group is. “Last time I checked we were running the globe,” Quavo raps on “Modern Day.” If the excitement drummed up by lead single “Straightenin” was any indication, this is unlikely to change before the next time he checks. *All Apple Music subscribers using the latest version of Apple Music on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV can listen to thousands of Dolby Atmos Music tracks using any headphones.

The rap trio’s latest, like its predecessor, can become a slog and at times seems shoddily constructed. But at its best, the album is a callback to their inspired peak.
