Rapper Offset has officially announced his third solo album, KIARI, set to release later today via Motown Records. Named after his birth name, Kiari Kendrell Cephus, the album is described in a press release as his “most personal body of work yet,” signaling an introspective turn for the 33-year-old artist.
The announcement was made in a high-energy spectacle in Times Square, where Offset was joined by hundreds of doppelgangers holding up the album cover and dancing throughout the iconic NYC landmark. Footage also showed him filming scenes for a potential visual to accompany the album.
KIARI features 18 tracks, including the Billboard Hot 100 hit “Bodies” featuring JID and the single “Professional.”
Offset has recruited a diverse lineup of collaborators, including YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Gunna, YFN Lucci, Ty Dolla $ign, John Legend, Key Glock, and Teezo Touchdown. Fans had speculated about a possible collaboration with his previously revealed celebrity crush, Sabrina Carpenter, though this does not appear on the tracklist.
The tracklist for KIARI is as follows:
- “Enemies”
- “Pills” (feat. YoungBoy Never Broke Again)
- “Professional”
- “Back in That Mode” (feat. YFN Lucci)
- “Different Species” (feat. Gunna)
- “Bodies” (feat. J.I.D.)
- “Love You Down”
- “Run It Up” (feat. Key Glock)
- “Set It Off”
- “Folgers”
- “All of My Shoes”
- “Calories”
- “Checkmate”
- “Backends Fasho”
- “Prada Myself” (feat. Teezo Touchdown)
- “Never Let Go” (feat. John Legend)
- “Favorite Girl” (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)
- “Move On”
Offset had teased new music throughout 2024 but faced delays amid personal challenges, including his estranged wife Cardi B filing for divorce and the couple welcoming their third child together.
KIARI follows his 2023 album Set It Off and is his first solo release since Father of Four, both of which debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200.
With this project, Offset continues to blend introspection with high-energy hip-hop, showcasing collaborations that span the spectrum of contemporary rap and R&B.
