The Nawfside - The group is actually closer than many may think. These three are truly related and grew up together. Here’s the quick family rundown: Quavo (Quavious Keyate Marshall) is the uncle of Takeoff (Kirshnik Khari Ball) and Offset (Kiari Kendrell Cephus) is Quavo's cousin. The group started off as Polo Club prior to becoming Migos and they hail from Lawrenceville, Georgia, which is on the Northside — or the “Nawf” as Migos refers to it. (Photo: Theo Wargo/Getty Images)

The Rise - Before “Versace,” Migos got some equipment and downloaded software on Yahoo for free. “We didn’t know nothing. Quavo was always more advanced with recording at first, honestly," Offset said. "He taught me. And we learned how to rap. Quavo and Takeoff were always having songs in sixth and seventh grade. I’d record Quavo, Quavo would record me, we’d record Takeoff — like that. We didn’t have no money.”(Photo: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images)

Family Is Forever - Migos is a tight-knit crew. They are their own friends and they don’t have any problem with that. Quavo says, “We've all been brothers ever since middle school.” And Offset said of the group, “A lot of groups, they get put together. But we don’t even think of each other as a group. I don’t think I’m in a group with two other guys, where I don’t know their moms and their grandmas, their aunties, and I don’t know where they came from. This is my immediate family. These are the only people I know. That’s why we be around each other so much. I don’t know nobody else.”(Photo: Prince Williams/Wireimage/Getty Images)
