Atlanta rap trio Migos are the latest to use their music as the backdrop for a mini movie. According to Complex, Migos have created a trap musical titled Bando, inspired by Jay Z's 1998 musical film Streets Is Watching.
The site reports songs from their YRN and No Label 2 mixtapes, including "Contraband," "Birds" and of course, "Bando," are featured throughout the film.
Bando, the film, portrays the lives of the three young rappers and their ultimate rise to fame. The film will highlight all of the trials and tribulations they had to go through to make it to the top of the game. The mini movie was directed by Rik Cordero and produced by Quality Control Music.
"We had a different ambition, we had a different way and we always got money," Quavo said of the short film. "We always trend set. And we had some people down. I was down. But we came back up all together and all together we winning. This is how it all started."
