Offset’s GMFU finally lands three weeks late, and the first voice on it is Quavo’s

Offset has finally released GMFU, and he has put his old bandmate at the front of it.

The 18-track album, Offset’s fourth solo record and his latest on Motown, is out now on streaming services in Australia and around the world. Quavo opens it on “R4W” and returns on “Why Not” with Loe Shimmy. For fans who watched the Migos fracture after Takeoff’s death in 2022, that running order says more than any press release could.

Offset posted the full tracklist on his verified Instagram on Thursday, US time, a day before release.

The post lists all 18 songs and every guest, with the caption “GMFU TRACKLIST” and three fire emojis.

Who else is on it?

The guest list leans young and melodic. Don Toliver features on “Every Night”, Gunna on “Spit Propane” and Tommy Richman on “One Way Flight”. OsamaSon and ApolloRed1 share “Misfits!”, and Larissa Lambert closes the album on “Hating on Me”. The other 11 tracks are Offset alone, including the title track and “Back in That Mode II”.

Why was it late?

GMFU was first set for 23 October. Midnight passed that day with no album on streaming services and no explanation. Offset later confirmed 13 November on social media and shared the cover: him sitting on a stoop in camouflage pants, with an American flag over his head.

It has been a hard year to finish a record. In April Offset was shot in the leg outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida; his spokesperson said at the time he was stable, and federal investigators later described it as an attempted robbery by a group.

What changed between Offset and Quavo?

Takeoff, the third Migo and Quavo’s nephew, was shot dead in Houston on 1 November 2022. Offset and Quavo performed together in tribute at the 2023 BET Awards, but the two were otherwise publicly apart for years.

That began to shift in September, when Offset turned up at the Los Angeles release party for Quavo’s album QRÖMELIFE and the pair performed “Away”, their first song together since 2022. Quavo also said in September that they were preparing one last Migos album and a tour to go with it.

Offset has now explained the gap between the public split and the reunion. Speaking to DJ Whoo Kid on Shade 45 this week, he said the repair happened away from cameras. “We had to heal behind the scenes,” he said, adding: “Blessings, the rebuild is always the best build.”

Why does this matter beyond one album?

The Migos were among the most influential rap groups of the last decade, and their triplet flow shaped a generation of Atlanta rap. A final group album would be one of the biggest rap releases of 2027, and GMFU is the first full-length proof that the two remaining members can share a record again.

For Offset, it is also a test after a stop-start rollout. A missed date usually costs momentum; opening the album with Quavo is the fastest way to win it back.
