The opening title track sees him speaking directly to each of his four children about the shortcomings and struggles he faced trying to be a better father to each of them at different phases in his life. The marriage of minimal, eerie production and uncharacteristically vulnerable lyrics offers a direct window into Offset's psyche in the album's best moments. Offset's rocky relationship with Cardi B received enough public scrutiny to inspire an album's worth of response tracks, and he addresses his notorious unfaithfulness in their marriage on the apology song "Don't Lose Me." Atmospheric production gives much of the album a darkly dreamy feel, but this song feels especially mournful, with plaintive strings underscoring remorseful lyrics. While Offset isn't necessarily more charismatic or visible than his Migos counterparts Quavo and Takeoff, the life experiences he mines for Father of 4 easily result in the most captivating of the group's solo offerings. Offset's moody and sometimes personal Father of 4 marks the rapper's first proper attempt at a solo album, coming after the excellent 2017 project Without Warning, a grizzly Halloween-themed mixtape made in collaboration with 21 Savage and producer Metro Boomin.
All three members of Atlanta trap superstars Migos released solo recordings of some kind following their collective commercial breakthrough with records like 2015's Yung Rich Nation and their critically acclaimed 2017 album Culture.
