"Stir Fry" is a song by American hip hop group Migos. It was released on December 20, 2017, as the second single from Migos' third studio album Culture II (2018). Written alongside producer Pharrell Williams, it peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100.[1]

Background and composition

"Stir Fry" differs from Migos' traditional Atlanta-style trap sound. In an interview with Beats 1's Ebro Darden, the group revealed the instrumental for the song was originally intended for an unreleased T.I. song in 2008. Quavo stated that "Pharrell said that he was waiting for this moment."[2]

The song was used for the 2018 NBA All-Star Weekend.[3]

Critical reception

Pitchfork gave the song a positive review saying that, "The song's interlocking polyrhythms—bongos, cricket-like whistles, clicking trap hi-hats, and slowed-down snares sampled from the Mohawks' "Champ"—are a beauty to behold. It's a disorienting maze of sounds, a beat that's difficult to wrap your head around, let alone rap over."[4]

Music video

The music video was released on January 28, 2018. Directed by Sing Lee and Quavo, the video features the trio dressed in silk brocade suits gambling in a Chinese restaurant with Pharrell Williams and Nigo. At the end of the video, the trio clash with an opposing gang.[5]

Migos also created a cooking themed music video with BuzzFeed Tasty depicting the trio making a stir fry dish.[6]
