the Queenpin herself guests on the swaggering, ominous keys peppered "Clout," sounding not so much like a woman scorned, but instead like the biggest rapper in the world as she nimbly mocks gossipy, nosy haters trolling her in vain.Įqually admirable - not to mention compelling, because it blasts past the tabloid fodder - is the title track. Then on the murky, minimalist "After Dark," (the eighth of 16 tracks on this slightly overlong, but banger-laden album) Offset admits to having a black heart, and being ashamed of breaking his lady's heart. "Don't Lose Me" begins with a sample of Offset's social media apology to his better half, the one and only Cardi B, for being a "selfish, messed-up husband." From there a melancholy, pulsing instrumental kicks in and Offset spits a series of rapid, plaintive bars. Offset certainly has plenty of material to work with - like JAY-Z on his contrite and confessional 4:44, the junior Atlanta MC doesn't shy away from his own cheating scandal on his debut solo LP. That's right: the Migos MC, often parodied for his and his bandmates' penchant for the "skrr skrr" catchphrase and other trap rap tropes, reveals untold multitudes on his new LP, Father of 4. If you doubted Offset could pull off his own 4:44, then prepare to eat your words.
