Avalanche (Migos song)

Migos premiered the song on June 10, 2021 with a performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, in which they were dressed in matching black suits, sunglasses and fedoras and backed by a faux live band.

[5] The song has no chorus; each member of the Migos raps a long verse,[4] centering on their success and extravagant lifestyles.

Mitch Findlay of HotNewHipHop called it "a smooth drop that once again finds all three members spitting solid verses with little time for catchy hooks", also writing, "It's especially welcome to see Quavo leading by example, coming through with another strong performance after 'Straightenin.'

[4] Bobby Carter of NPR regarded the song to be "the perfect statement piece to open part three of the Culture trilogy".

[10] GQ's Caleb Catlin wrote, "It's meant to create dramatic tension for the rest of the album, and the sample of 'Papa Was a Rollin' Stone' is a little on the nose, especially when Quavo name drops it at the start of his verse.
