With the race for the week’s top debut on the Billboard 200 getting tighter (as we reported here), Offset‘s hitting the promo pavement hard in support of his debut solo album with hopes of outpacing the competition.

Boasting a number of high profile stops and features, including a recent visit to Billboard and Power 105’s ‘The Breakfast Club,’ the rapper’s (born Kiari Cephus) dished on the creation and serial delay of his inaugural solo effort, ‘Father of 4,’ the Migos next group project, and the highly publicized reconciliation process with rapstress wife, Cardi B.

Speaking on the latter with DJ Envy and co., Cephus stated:

“Love is a beautiful thing. Ni**as try to be cool and act like, ‘Bro.’ But bruh, we get hurt too, bro. And we can say it.”

Good things come to those who wait it seems.

For, after a serial delay, February 22nd brought with it the long-awaited arrival of Offset‘s debut solo album, ‘Father of 4’ (click here to stream).  Lined with high profile features from the likes of Cardi B, Travis Scott, 21 Savage, J. Cole, Quavo, and more, the set zoomed to #2 on iTunes sales charts just hours after its unveiling (blocked from the top by Lady Gaga‘s ‘A Star is Born’ soundtrack).

Yet, its saving grace – much like the solo efforts of his Migos brothers Quavo and Takeoff – has come from the streaming realm.  So much so, industry analysts predict the project will outpace the competition (including Gaga and her post-Academy Award acclaim) for next week’s top spot on the Billboard 200.

To ensure such, Offset has unveiled a cinematic video for the album’s tune, ‘Quarter Milli.’  Tapping Gucci Mane to assist, the clip – set in the 1920s – sees the duo as old school gangsters who’ve band together to pull of a bank heist before jetting off into the sunset with a quarter milli in cash.
