22 AUGUST 2025 (TORONTO, ON) — Today, GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum superstar Offset releases his highly anticipated third solo album, KIARI, out now on Motown Records. With his birth name as its title, the 18-song set finds the Atlanta icon at the top of his game, as open and vulnerable as ever, flexing and reflecting on his journey thus far over immersive production fit for an arena. Befitting his status as a culture-moving force, Offset is joined by an incredible array of guest artists bringing their A-game, including JID, Gunna, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, John Legend, Ty Dolla $ign, Key Glock, YFN Lucci, and Teezo Touchdown. Listen to KIARI HERE. KIARI explores the different sides of Offset and shows his diversity as an artist that’s able to seamlessly weave between records for the club and thought-provoking introspective cuts from his life.

“KIARI is me. I challenged myself as an artist and really put it all into the music. I took my time putting this project together,” said Offset, “I know who I am, and I hope the world gets to understand who KIARI is through this album.”

Alongside the album, Offset dropped visualizers for each track with John Legend and Tezzo Touchdown on their respective collaboration records. Offset also released the music video for the track “Different Species” with Gunna. This continues the Atlanta duo’s celebrated history of collaboration — see Offset’s “Style Rare” and Gunna’s “prada dem.” “Different Species” is a lush cut about sharing the good life with someone special. With aqueous tones, finger-picked guitar, and skittering drums, “Different Species” feels like a fantasy unfolding as Offset describes the object of his affection. The “Different Species” video, filmed in his hometown of Atlanta, is directed by SheShe Pendleton, Offset, and Gunna.

Ahead of KIARI, Offset unveiled a mind-bending cinematic trailer of a therapy session alluding to the different sides of KIARI that make the artist Offset. The trailer and the visualizers released for each track are directed by SheShe Pendleton and Mikey Rare. Earlier this week, Offset hosted an intimate yet wild Boiler Room party previewing KIARI tracks at New York hotspot Jean’s for his fans and had Key Glock and Fanum in attendance.

KIARI sounds as luxe as Offset’s lifestyle thanks to majestic production from the Honorable C.N.O.T.E., London on da Track, London Jae, Fridayy, FNZ, Oz, and BoogzDaBeast, among others. With orchestral flourishes, mood-setting melodies, unexpected instrumentation, and distinctive samples ranging from Nina Simone to INOJ to Drowning Pool, the beats are big enough to support his dynamic bars — the vision of a man, father, and son, who came from nothing, walked through fire, and isn’t wasting another moment of the life he’s made for himself.

Offset announced KIARI earlier this month with a raucous Times Square takeover where doppelgangers dressed in suits re-created one of the album’s artwork variants. The new era was kicked off with the scorching lead single “Bodies” featuring JID, which debuted on the Billboard Hot 100, became the #1 added song at Urban Radio, and racked up universal praise — including from The Source (“a bold summer return”), BET (“smash single”), UPROXX (“Offset and J.I.D. go hard”), HotNewHipHop (“urgent, reflective, and necessary”), and Complex, who ranked J.I.D.’s verse the sixth best of the year. Vibe called the cut — which samples Drowning Pool’s “Bodies” — an “earth-shattering lyrical clinic [where Offset] brought his hard-nosed, aggressive flow, which matches the 808s and drums, and fellow ATLien J.I.D. dropped one of his best guest verses ever.” Offset and JID have since sat down with Variety, Genius, and AP News to explain the record’s origin stemming from recording it in China.

Along with dropping KIARI’s second single “Professional” — a celebratory post-trap anthem that came with a high-class video filmed at the exclusive celebrity-filled New York eatery Lucien — Offset’s been making waves elsewhere too. He’s discussed the new album and more in recent appearances on Apple Music 1’s The Ebro Show, 7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony, and The Shop among other platforms. He also made a triumphant return to Hot Ones, featured on the premiere episode of Complex's “Interview with a Magician,” and stole the show at Milwaukee’s Summerfest in late June when he brought a fan onstage for an unforgettable performance of Migos hit “Walk It Talk It” — watch HERE.

With KIARI now out in the world, watch closely as Offset continues to build his larger-than-life legacy.

ABOUT OFFSET:
It should be hard for an artist to transcend legend status, but Offset makes it look easy. After helping define 2010s trap music with somersaulting triplet flows, addictive lingo, and indelible anthems, the GRAMMY®-nominated, multi-platinum superstar born Kiari Cephus has continued penetrating the worlds of music, fashion, and pop culture with an innate showmanship that encompasses remarkable choreography, impeccable taste, verbal confidence, and raw sincerity. With the mighty Migos catalog — which includes over 40 platinum plaques — under his belt, he began his steadfast solo journey with the deeply personal, Gold-certified FATHER OF 4 (2019). He leveled up again with 2023’s SET IT OFF, which included the hits “SAY MY GRACE” featuring Travis Scott and “WORTH IT” featuring Don Toliver. He is evolving even more with KIARI — an album that thrillingly walks the crossroads of block-boy instinct and fatherly wisdom over production fit for arenas. He forecasted the masterpiece with “Bodies,” a JID-assisted scorcher that returned Offset to the Billboard Hot 100 and won universal praise from fans and critics alike. But Offset became an icon years ago. With 3x Platinum singles like “Clout” and collabs like his Diamond-certified Tyga team-up “Taste,” he’s amassed nearly 5 billion streams globally. He’s also left his mark on award shows (BET, MTV, GRAMMYS) couture runways (Balenciaga, Off-White, LUAR) and film/TV (Atlanta, NCIS, Baby Shark's Big Movie, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon). But it’s less a career than a lavish lifestyle, and KIARI, which fittingly sports Offset’s birth name, is the perfect balance of business, pleasure, and candidness.
