“With the release of Culture II – nearly a year to the day after its precursor arrived – Migos are once again poised to dominate the music world for the next 12 months.” – ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

The trio has also announced they will be the esteemed musical guests on Saturday Night Live on March 3rd.

The colossal 24-track album was released on January 26th, the anniversary of CULTURE, on Quality Control Music / Capitol Records / Motown Records at the same time as their performance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and the dropping of their first Rolling Stone magazine cover.

The monumental feat gives the ATL trio their second number one album outselling its predecessor by 70,000 units. Eight songs from the album earned Top 10 positions on Spotify on the day it was released in addition to debuting at #1 in 62 countries on Apple Music achieving one of the largest debut weeks in the music platform’s history as the trio’s smashing success on streaming services continues to soar.

The group also sat down for an in-depth interview for CRWN with Elliott Wilson on Tidal and were featured as emoji’s in an Apple Musiccommercial also featuring “Stir Fry.” The first single from CULTURE II ‘MotorSport‘ featuring reigning first ladies of hip-hop Nicki Minaj and Cardi B showcases the two female sensations making their first official appearance on a song together and currently holds the #1 spot at Urban Radio.

OFFICIAL TRAILER RELEASED FOR “CALL ME MICKY,” EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY DOMINIQUE JACKSON

**New 22-minute documentary short follows Micky Angelo Petrillo after transitioning at 59, with the acclaimed POSE star helping bring his story to the screen**

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.

The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.

Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.

Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.

Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.

Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.

While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.
