Offset, who rose to fame alongside Quavo and Takeoff in the superstar Atlanta rap trio Migos, was one of the artists who remade the sound of hip-hop at the dawn of streaming in the 2010s and helped cement Atlanta as a center of rap innovation and success. He sat down with Joe and Jon to chat about musicmaking – his new solo album, “GMFU,” is out Nov. 13 – as well as some of his personal foibles and setbacks that have kept him in the public eye: his marriage to and split from Cardi B, getting shot outside a Florida casino and the 2022 murder of his close friend and collaborator Takeoff. Offset also opened up about undermining his own ambitions with misbehavior, remaining steadfast in the face of personal tragedies and how he continues to rely on his mother to set him straight.
