    This was a really surprisingly solid project. It has soul, meaning, ear candy, great flows. A glimpse into who Offset is. Has some high points and some terrific features.

    Father of 4 is the best of the Migos solo projects but that’s not saying much. It’s safe to say the Migos are better and stronger as a group than individuals. Overall an okay album.

    'Father of 4' continuously balances between classic trap rules and bursts of bright creativity. Lyrics and instrumentals follow the same scheme. All of the featured artists were expected unless J. Cole and CeeLo Green. They are the only two trying to draw the album out of the mud of traditional rap albums as this one can be. Other singers bring fresh air and variety to the Offset's flat'Father of 4' continuously balances between classic trap rules and bursts of bright creativity.

The only motivation to pursue the listening to this album is the promise of an inspired track to come. We only go under 'On Fleek' and 'Quarter Milli' to eventually discover 'Red Room' and 'Came a Long Way'. It seems like Offset cleverly distributed the pleasant and awful tracks in a certain way to make us enough interested to not cut it short. Clever but dishonest. For an artist like him, sixteen tracks are way too much. Without this unpleasant trick from him I surely wouldn't have listen to the whole project.… Expand

    While this is the best of the solo Migos projects, that's not really saying a lot. I thought Offset was going to have the best one even before this came out. He got more personal on this than the others did on their projects. Overall though, I don't remember some of the songs at all, especially the solo ones. Best songs are Came A Long Way; North Star; How Did I Get Here?; Father Of 4; and Lick.

    While Father of 4 is still far more interesting and better constructed than most other Migos-related solo offerings, it re-enforces the notion that the group's chemistry is a stronger force than any one of its individual members' talents.

    The 27-year-old Offset digs deep into his Atlanta Hip Hop lineage, crafting an album that’s equal parts rare in this climate (seeing it follows an unfolding narrative) and refreshing, given its telling content.

    Father of 4 ultimately works as a solo outing because Offset is such a force of nature, but it’s too often cautious where it could be candid, or dull where it should be sharp. Still, the record is a progression for Offset and for Migos.
