The BEAT: #Fest brings Migos as additional headliner

By John Bonus, Transcript Reporter

The Number Fest has announced the final headlining artist of the biggest college music festival in the country and it is a big one… or better yet, three.

Migos will be the performing at the music festival hosted by Ohio University in Athens. It will take place April 21-22.

Migos aren’t the only big artists on the lineup this year.

They will be joined by Young Thug, Waka Flocka Flame, 21 Savage, Lil Yachty, Jauz, Louis the Child and many more. This lineup offers a variety of genres ranging from hip-hop to electronic dance music.

The Number Fest, advertised as #Fest, has been a tradition at OU since its founding in 2003. According to the

#Fest website, the festival was started by two college juniors who just wanted to throw a huge end-of-the-year party. Now, in its 15th year, it is the largest collegiate music festival in the United States.

Dominic Petrozzi is one of the founding members of #Fest and he is still a huge part of making the party happen every year. In an article by XXL Magazine, he said Migos was a perfect pick as headliner for the festival.

“The cultural impact the group has made with recently released music aligns perfectly with the cult-like following #Fest has grown into within the collegiate space,” Petrozzi said.

The festival has gotten bigger every year, with last year’s attendance surpassing 15,000. The festival is open to everyone.

The Beat: Migos release “Culture”

By John Bonus, Transcript Reporter

“Culture” has hit the shelves explosively and could potentially see a number one spot in its first week out.

Migos have released their highly anticipated album, “Culture” and whether you like the hip-hop trio or not, you can expect to continue hearing their music in the coming months.

Migos are an American hip-hop group from Georgia formed in 2009. It consists of rappers Quavo, Takeoff and Offset.

The group have been gaining popularity since 2013 when they released “Versace”  and have since had big releases like “Fight Night” and “Look at My Dab.”

“Bad and Boujee” was the first single off the album and it is currently the number one song in the U.S. With such great success from this track and large circulation of the album on social media, the trio may see a number one album very soon.

According to projections from Hits Daily Double, the album is projected to move around 80,000 units in the first week, a huge amount of this from streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music. At that rate, “Culture” could soar to the top of the charts sooner than many would have expected.

Migos are a famous name in the world of hip-hop and the featuring artists on this album definitely show that. With big names like 2 Chainz, DJ Khaled, Travis Scott and Gucci Mane on the tracklist, the album will be pulling from a variety of fanbases.

Whether the album hits number one in its first week or not, it has solidified itself as one of the biggest album releases of 2017 less than a month into the year.
