Offset is back with his new solo album Kiari, his most personal project to date.
The Atlanta rapper’s third solo album serves as the follow up to 2023’s Set It Off, and boasts 18 tracks in total. While elements of Set’s rambunctiousness are still present, the rapper explores a lot of tough subjects on Kiari, including his relationship with his ex-wife Cardi B. In an interview with the Associated Press, Offset said the album’s closer “Move On” would explore his estranged relationship with Cardi, and said his goal with this project was to help usher him into a more peaceful era.
“It’s about moving on, like, peacefully. That’s what the message is supposed to be,” he said. “It’s all love and peace. I just ended the album with that, just to end that chapter because it’s time to move on, it’s over and done with.”
Offset continued: “It was great while it lasted. That shouldn’t be the topic for either one of us no more. It’s a book that’s closed.”
The album is also stacked with plenty of guest appearances, and features collaborations from YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Gunna, YFN Lucci, Ty Dolla $ign, John Legend and Key Glock. Set also mentioned to Ebro Darden the other day that he may soon bury the hatchet with former groupmate Quavo, and even said a joint album is possible. The point is, Offset is clearly set on turning the page with Kiari. with all that in play, let’s get into the album. Here is Billboard‘s ranking of every song on Offset’s third studio album Kiari.
