Control the Streets, Vol. 1 is the first compilation from Quality Control, the Atlanta-based independent label with major distribution via UMG. It closes out a breakthrough 2017 for QC -- established only four years earlier -- during which the label established and sustained mainstream success with albums from Migos and Lil' Yachty. The flagship acts appear in varying combinations on the majority of the tracks, including the charting singles "Too Hotty" and "Ice Tray." Recent signees Lil Baby (including "My Dawg"), Kollission, City Girls, Mango, and Marlo are showcased, while guest support comes from the likes of Ty Dolla $ign, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and Tee Grizzley.
