In a Twitter bombshell on December 27, Offset, the iconic Migos member, sent shockwaves through the hip-hop community by declaring his return to “studio mode.” Just a mere two months after the drop of his sophomore album, ‘SET IT OFF,’ the rapper is ready to unleash a new wave of creativity upon his eagerly awaiting fanbase.
The announcement comes with tantalizing hints of a potential single, tentatively titled “War Zone.” This revelation adds another layer of excitement to an already buzzing fanbase, still reveling in the success of ‘SET IT OFF.’ The album, featuring an impressive lineup of collaborators, debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, showcasing Offset’s continued dominance in the rap game.
In an illuminating interview with Sharp Magazine, Offset opened up about the profound impact of ‘SET IT OFF’ on his solo career, likening his journey to that of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Describing the album as a pivotal moment in his artistic evolution, Offset expressed a desire for creative growth and a shift towards self-expression.
“I feel like this is really my first album, my first really solo career album,” Offset declared. “I just feel like Michael felt, wanting more creatively, challenging myself to be a better and bigger artist, and to leave the old stuff in the past, move on to the better things, the bigger things. I’m ready to focus on self-expression and self-identification to the world.”
The catalyst for this transformative vision came from a conversation with Tyler, The Creator, as revealed in an interview with GQ. Tyler’s advice, urging Offset to embrace a unique and enduring artistic persona, left a lasting impact. “Ngas ain’t going to fk with it at first, but ngas never fk with the good st first. They always sleep on it, and then you show them throughout the process. I really took that st to head,” Offset acknowledged.
As Offset embarks on this new chapter in his musical journey, the hip-hop world awaits with bated breath, anticipating the innovative and boundary-pushing sounds that will undoubtedly cement his legacy as a trailblazer in the genre.
