"T-Shirt" is a song by American hip hop group Migos. It impacted radio on February 14, 2017 as the second single from their second studio album Culture (2017).[2] The song was produced by Nard & B alongside their TrenchWerk cohort XL Eagle.[3] The song peaked in the top 20 of the US Billboard Hot 100, and has acquired 336 million YouTube views and 415 million Spotify plays as of February 2022.
Music critic Simon Reynolds praised "T-Shirt" as "vocal alchemy via Auto-Tune, turning profane tales of fast lane life into a holy trance, a choral weave of glistening rap, ecstatic ad libs, and a wordless backing ripple of Gregorian gurgles and droning moans."[4]
