One of Hip-Hop’s biggest superstars Offset turns 31 today. Born on December 14th 1991, Offset – real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus – is one of the most influential figures in modern rap and is known all over the world for his distinct flow, pensive lyricism and wide-ranging discography. Offset rose to prominence with his massively popular career run with the Atlanta-based Hip-Hop act Migos which included Quavo and the late emcee and lyricist Take-off.
After the release of ‘Versace’, there was no looking back for Migos as they headed towards becoming one of the top-selling entertainers in Hip-Hop. “Rain Drop, Drop Top” raps Offset on Migos’ worldwide hit ‘Bad n Boujee’ with Lil Uzi Vert. The phrase has almost become eponymous with Offset’s everlasting legacy and elevated Migos to a stature that only a handful of Hip-Hop acts manage to achieve.
As part of Migos, Offset is behind massive rap records including ‘Bad n Boujee’ featuring Philadelphia’s Lil Uzi Vert, ‘Walk It Like I Talk It’ featuring Hip-Hop superstar Drake, ‘Kelly Price’ featuring Houston’s iconic Travis Scott, ‘Motorsport’ featuring Nicki Minaj & Cardi B and more.
