Coinciding with the release of their new mixtape Rich N*gga Timeline today, The FADER announced that the Migos trio will cover their December/January issue, on newsstands December 9. With photos released online along with a preview of the interview, I came across quite the interesting tidbit said by Pierre “Pee” Thomas, co-founder of Quality Control Music (which I guess is their crew/label?)

“It was a gift and a curse,” Pee said of Drake jumping on and consequently blowing up their breakout single, ‘Versace.’ “Sometimes I really wish he had never jumped on it…it was gonna blow without him.”

Interesting…and most certainly overly-confident…but I do get it. They had to constantly stand in Drake’s shadow for quite some time following the record, and a lot of their success was attributed to him “discovering” their song, rather than simply their talent. Still, I probably wouldn’t have said that. What do you guys think?
