Offset, formally of the group Migos, just dropped his latest single, “Bodies,” featuring the lyrical wizardry of JID, and it’s a heavyweight contender for summer anthem status. The joint was released on June 20th, and this track is a testament to both artists’ undeniable skill and their ability to craft a truly dope record.
Offset kicks things off with his signature flow, delving into themes of his rough upbringing, the loyalty of the streets, and his unyielding ambition. He paints vivid pictures of his journey from the mud to mansions, unapologetically flexing his wealth and status while acknowledging the struggles that shaped him. Then, JID steps in and absolutely detonates his verse. Known for his intricate wordplay and agile delivery, JID elevates the track with a whirlwind of flows. He weaves in personal reflections on grief, the constant threat of chaos, and the weight of his past, proving once again why he’s considered one of the most exciting lyricists in the game right now. His verse is a masterclass in controlled chaos, a rapid-fire assault of internal rhymes and compelling narratives that demand repeated listens.
“Bodies” isn’t just about the sonic impact; it’s a lyrical exploration of survival, overcoming adversity, and the scars that remain. Both Offset and JID ” are choosing to tell their truths with raw honesty over Cashmere Brown and Vinylz production.
This single serves as the fourth official single (actually the only one that I have liked so far) from Offset’s upcoming third studio album, “Kiari“, and if “Bodies” is any indication, we’re in for a treat. It’s a powerful collaboration that showcases the best of both artists, leaving you with that visceral feeling of raw power and undeniable talent.
