Last night, Quality Control published the official cover art and tracklisting for its next compilation album: Quality Control: Control The Streets Volume 2, which is set to land August 16. That’s just three days away, everyone. Will the label be able to score another two-time platinum album as they did with Volume 1?
We’ll find out together. If you’re a fan of the Migos, and everyone else on the label roster, get in tune to pre-order. And now, here are some words from the official press release emailed me to me this morning by the label.

Billboard recently honoured Quality Control Music’s CEO Pierre “P” Thomas and COO Kevin “Coach K” Lee as Co-Executives of the Year in 2018’s R&B/Hip-Hop Power Issue, citing the company’s undeniable influences on the music industry. The Source named them #1 on the cover of their Power 30, Variety awarded them as the year’s top innovators, and Culture Creators honoured them for contributions to music.
Within six years, the Atlanta-based management company and record label has seen stratospheric success and has literally changed the culture. Still, the word most commonly used by Quality Control artists is definitely “family”. Operating as an independent, African-American owned label (partnered with Motown and Caroline distribution), Coach and P and a surprisingly small and dedicated staff have created a new blueprint for success at a time when the fans have the biggest voice in the industry.
