“Avalanche,” the introduction to Culture III, sees the trio flaunting their success while reminiscing on their upbringings. The nostalgic beat, which is produced by DJ Durel and Quavo, samples The Temptations’ September 1972 single, “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone.”

On June 10, one day prior to Culture III’s release, the trio debuted this song with a thematic performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, which coincided with the single’s premiere on streaming services. Twelve hours after its international release, Migos dropped the song’s music video.
