In this list, we take a look at all eighteen tracks from the album, Kiari

Boadies

The lead single from the album, Boadies, takes up the first place in this list. The track is gritty and fiery, and has an energetic verse from JID. The lyrics, music, and energy of the song are top-notch, making it a fan favourite and ranking the song top of hip-hop music.

This upbeat and energetic song is appreciated for its sleek and innovative production. It easily makes it among the standout tracks from the album. The song has stylish vibes, unique sonic flair, and memorable delivery.

4. Never Let Go (feat. John Legend)

Never Let Go is a unique song among all others on the list. This track is a deeply emotional tribute to Offset's late cousin Takeoff. The song is loved by fans for its heartfelt lyrics and gospel-infused melody.

5. Professional

It was one of the pre-released songs from the album and was loved for its polished yet vulnerable lyrics. It also shows Offset's melodic confidence, and although it's ranked mid-tier, it is regarded as a solid track.

6. Love You Down

It is a lovely romantic song that is soft yet strong, as it delves into themes of breaking away from traditional traps. Along with its smooth production, the song is loved for its memorable delivery.

7. Set It Off

Set It Off is the shortest track in the album, and despite the brief runtime, the song has a powerful delivery and a dynamic beat, which makes a strong impact.

It is an introspective track, and is centered around topics including paranoia and addiction. The track is best known for its rawness, dark theme, and intense delivery.

9. Enemies

Enemies is the first track of the album, and makes for a solid opener with its confrontational tone and vulnerable lyrics, the kind of track that reflects Offset on a personal level.

10. Different Species (feat. Gunna)

The track is loved for Gunna's signature flow. It is overall a laid-back track that is smooth and fun. Although appreciated for being light, critics believe that the track feels uninspired towards the end.

11. Back In That Mode (feat. YFN Lucci)

The track has solid energy and Lucci vibes well with Offset. The song, however, doesn’t quite rise above album filler. Fans criticize it for its lack of punchiness and delivery.

12. Prada Myself (feat. Teezo Touchdown)

The track is known for its creative flair, but is criticized for feeling uninspired and lacking energy. The production of the song, however, is standout when compared to the other tracks of the album.

13. Folgers

Offset's Folgers does not make it to the fan favorites. Although the track is creative and experimental, it does not have a memorable delivery or depth in its lyrics.

14. Calories

Described as a smooth-moving and melodic song. It is appreciated for being a mellow song, but not a standout, lacking inspiration and delivery.

15. Favorite Girl (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)

Loved by fans for the signature Ty Dolla $ign vibes. It is solid and dependable; however, it does not make it among the hits from the album.

16. Move On

A personal track for Offset, it reflects on his split with Cardi B. The track overall while simple, is gentle, introspective, and gives listeners emotional closure.

17. All Of My Hoes

A roughly three-minute song, it is criticized for its lack of depth and emotions. Fans also feel as though the song is just a filler and does not offer anything solid.

18. Backends Fasho

Backends Fasho makes it to the last track in this list. While some loved it for its rawness and emotional depth, others felt that the song lacked delivery and felt incomplete.

Other than the powerful tracks, Offset has also officially released merchandise tied to his album KIARI. Unlike his previous albums, which were focused more on lifestyle and trap anthems, Kiari's songs are about healing, family, and moving on, with a balance of vulnerability and bravery. Among all the tracks, only Boadies has a proper visual release. All the tracks are, however, available to listen on various streaming platforms.
