Last month, the rapper, who rose to prominence as part of hip-hop trio Migos, released his second solo album, Set It Off. “I put a lot of sweat, blood, and tears into it,” he says, noting that he recorded about 400 songs for consideration. “It’s basically my solo journey as Offset,” he continues.
“We’re always going to be good.” Increasingly inspired by cinema, Offset directed the music videos for “Jealousy” and another single, “Fan.” “Taking my creative ideas and putting them into the visual is my passion,” he says.For this issue, Offset created a playlist around the theme of home. Along with “Right On,” by his cousin Mango Foo, he included Kendrick Lamar’s “Rich Spirit” and “712PM” by Future.
