Off the Grid (song)

Last updated • 1 min readFrom Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

He gave me my space, but every eight couple bars, "I'm like yo look, I got some shit" and he's like, "Yo, keep going". That’s why it is so long, he kept telling me to keep going, keep going like three times. Like how much more, "Just keep going". [...] I was playing a couple of songs, and he was like "Who produced this?", and I'm like my man AyoAA – Ozzy, and he's like "Get him on a plane, get him out here". The "Off the Grid" shit was already done, he sent me that beat before I even met him. It wasn't drill. He got my producer Ozzy to add the drill to the song on my part. [6]

The song was first officially previewed at the August 5 listening party at Mercedes Benz Stadium. [7] It was previewed again in Soldier Field on August 26, with an added verse from West at the end.[ citation needed ]
