Migos’ legendary emcee and ‘Father of 4’ Offset has returned after a brief hiatus amidst Takeoff’s ill-fated death. Collaborating with California-based emcee and record producer Hit-Boy on ‘2 Live’, Offset – real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus – drops hard-hitting bars on a lethal G-Funk-inspired production.
Notably, apart from leading the classic production, Hit-Boy tests out his smooth vocal gestation on the mic and raps the chorus and the first verse on the latest rap record. The single serves as the follow-up to Hit-Boy’s recent effort with South London’s Avelino.
“She get crazy (She get crazy), I blew eighty (Eighty racks)
We got faded, I woke up, bought her Mercedes (Hey)
Racks on top of the table, she got Birkins, alligators (Birkins)
She was a waiter, but she left you for my paper (Hey)
Ring around the rosey, I bought her Chanel, now she takin’ pictures posin’ (Flash)
You know I’m a player, once I hit her, then I’m ghostin’ (Ghost)
Knew she was a freak, she had a tongue and a nose ring (Grra)
Once I like her vibe, I knock her down like I went bowlin’ (Knock her)
Pourin’ up Patrón on the ice, she like cold tings
All black, Maybach in the night, movin’ lowkey (Hey)
Go to Atlanta and hop in the Phantom
Them n***** know they ain’t as cold as me (Cold)
One of one, it’s only me (One of one),” Offset raps in his element with the world awaiting his sophomore LP.
