What they’re saying

“'Set It Off' was a freedom,' he told AP last year, proof that he could shine as a solo artist outside of Migos. 'Kiari,' instead, is 'me, for what I am. And recognizing who I am, because I feel like sometimes you could get lost in trying to please other people and trying to do what they want you to do. So, this is like my rebellion. My rebellion album.'”
