Amid his beef with Quality Control over the release of (and rights to) his new material, it seems the 31-year-old is taking promotional matters into his own hands to feed fans.

While he's currently embroiled in beef with his label Quality Control Music over the rights to his music and being able to release it, Offset continues to tease fans with his next album. Moreover, he just shared a song snippet with accompanying visuals on his Instagram page. In the clip, he flaunts various stylish outfits as he spits bars on his success, influence, and status in the game. Even though it's been a rocky road for the Migos rapper, he seems committed to giving fans what he can to hold them over. Many eagerly anticipate his next project and expressed support for his rights as an artist.

Still, the situation with QCM is quite murky, dealing with issues of copyright and ownership of new material. Despite his struggles, it's certainly not the first time Offset gave fans a peek at what's to come. For example, he recently previewed a posthumous collaboration with his late cousin Takeoff featuring Icewear Vezzo. With that in mind, more eyes than ever are on the Georgia native's every move, whether it's for his legal battle or the next chapter in his career.

Offset Gets Fans Excited Again For New Album

However, all that is moot if fans aren't excited about the new album in question. For this new teaser in particular, it seems Offset continued to push the trap formula forward with some heat. He flows with confidence and a measured pace over a slightly ethereal but bass-heavy trap instrumental. Of course, it's by no means uncharted territory for 'Set, but the question here is (ironically) about quality control. Amid tragedy, label disputes, and a strained relationship with Quavo, he can clearly still drop engaging trap cuts that build on his already established sound and legacy.

On the note of the QCM battle, the "54321" MC recently took to Twitter to air out his frustrations. "Never thought life be this f***ed up #LLTake. I can’t drop music also” he tweeted. “Black ppl holding black ppl back," he wrote in another message. From what reports indicate, he and Quality Control disagree over what music the label owns, and whether they can profit from his new deal with Capitol. Hopefully that gets sorted out internally, rightfully, and in a way that doesn't dilute his art any further. Regardless, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Offset.
