Offset's solo career continues to soar following the release of his sophomore album, SET IT OFF. To share his vision and inspirations behind the release, the three-time GRAMMY nominee is set to return to his home state of Georgia for GRAMMY U "Unwrapped" held at the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center in Atlanta on Friday, September 20.
In collaboration with the Recording Academy Atlanta Chapter and the Black Music Collective, GRAMMY U members will have the opportunity to join a panel conversation with Offset as he talks through his production techniques and concepts behind SET IT OFF. Offset will provide valuable tips highlighting how he explores creative processes in both solo and collaborative settings.
Offset gained fame as a member of the rap trio Migos, alongside Quavo and the late Takeoff. Together, the group achieved significant success with chart-topping hits like "Bad and Boujee" featuring Lil Uzi Vert, "Walk It Talk It" featuring Drake, and "Stir Fry." At the 2018 GRAMMYs, Migos received two GRAMMY nominations: Best Rap Album for Culture and Best Rap Performance for "Bad and Boujee." At the 2020 GRAMMYs, Offset earned his first solo GRAMMY nomination for Best Rap Performance for "Clout" featuring his wife Cardi B.
SET IT OFF includes collaborations with industry giants Future, Don Toliver, and Travis Scott, with the lead track "SAY MY GRACE" featuring Travis Scott amassing nearly 135 million streams on Spotify alone.
Ahead of the Unwrapped event with Offset, the Recording Academy and GRAMMY U members are hyped. On August 24, the Recording Academy Philadelphia Chapter hosted an exclusive meet and greet with Offset at a local restaurant, where Recording Academy Voting and Professional Members and fans were able to converse and ask questions about his career.
