The album had me hooked line and sinker to see where the desperately needed ambition would take me, but as soon as Offset sets off, Father of 4 falls off.As one third of the internationally known hip-hop group, Migos, Offset, launches his first solo album, FATHER OF 4. While Offset didn’t exactly bring some truly fiery passion in his volume on these couple of tracks, he makes up for it with some solid hooks, flows, and writing that passed the stale standard of Migos’ simple trap flexing. Offset’s subdued delivery and auto tune sound richer than usual on the first few tracks of Father of 4, whether it be over the exotic flutework on “Lick” or the rags to riches biography of “How Did I Get Here” (featuring a solid J. For once, I felt like a modern Migos album sounded different enough to be palpable and stand out amongst the crowd.
Unfortunately, Offset seemingly associated more introspective writing with sounding completely dead on the mic. The main crutch on which all of these songs lean on is the Main Migo himself for all the mixed bags of features and somewhat decent beats, Offset’s personal stories and usually frantic performance dexterity could turn Father of 4 into something salvageable. Although the song initially charted following the album's release, it reached the top 40 of the US Billboard Hot 100 after the release.
Offset isn’t exactly deep when he brings up his success, but usually makes a track succeed simply based off his crazy triplet flows and good rhyme schemes. “Tats on My Face” and “Made Man” are just two more fish in the ever growing school of indistinguishable Migos flexes, and even after multiple relistens I cannot remember a single moment from “Underrated”. It’s a complete slog to get through, and makes a perfect case that good lyrics about racism and rising to the top do not equate a good song.
Father Of 4 opens with some inspirational, spoken word from Big Rube before Offset. “Red Room” brings back the good beats and detail that the first few tracks had, but it’s too little, too late most of the album was spent in a haze of little errors that just added up over time.Offset takes to the confessional with his individual album, Father of 4.
