Today (Oct. 13), Offset is back with his long-awaited sophomore album Set It Off, marking his first solo LP in four years.
The 21-track effort is a star-studded affair, as the Migos MC enlists Cardi B, Future, Travis Scott, Latto, Don Toliver, and more for his highly personal offering. To warm fans up, Set released two singles in “Jealousy” featuring Cardi and his “Fan.” His debut effort, Father of 4, spawned his multi-platinum single “Clout.”
Since his first solo effort, Offset experienced the passing of TakeOff, who was shot and killed in Houston last year.
“Even on my own journey, I still feel his presence and his energy like, bro, ‘We got to go hard. We got to win. We got to win. This ain’t the end of it. We got to win,’” the “Clout” rapper told Apple Music in a new interview. “So that’s another thing that pushed me through is my boy, Take, man. He didn’t care that he didn’t care about the numbers, nothing. He like, ‘Bro, y’all’s s–t hard.’ He’s just very supportive in that. I just keep that in the back of my mind and just keep pushing.”
He also spoke about TakeOff’s temperament and what made him uplifting.
“Take had that… he just had good character. He just was like, ‘I make music with people that love my music and I love everybody.’ He’s a loving person, man,” he told Zane Lowe. “It was just a tragedy my boy had to go like that, man. But I’m pushing for him too. Legacy, the group thing is it can’t be a group because our main member is missing.”
