Migos have had an incredible run over the past year and a half. The Atlanta trio dominated the game with the release of Culture in 2017 and became the hottest thing in music ever since. Both of their most recent releases, Culture & Culture II, did some incredible numbers on the charts and through streaming services. In addition, they landed numerous award nominations including two Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Album. Now, Migos will be honored with another major award in the coming weeks at the Rhythm & Soul Music Awards.

Migos will be receiving the ASCAP Vanguard Award for their highly successful year in the game. The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers confirmed that the "Stir Fry" rappers will receive the honor in Los Angeles at the 31st annual Rhythm & Blues Music Awards on June 21st. The trio are winning the award due to their massive success in the streaming world as well as on the Billboard charts. Both Culture and Culture II are certified platinum as well.

The trio have a big summer ahead of them. They're currently doing their rounds in the festival circuit but they're gearing up to embark on the biggest summer tour. Migos and Drake will be co-headlining their upcoming "Aubrey & Three Amigos" tour. You could check out the dates for the tour here.
