Offshore appreciation thread bc some of y'all need to appreciate them istg (and hopefully start listening to them) + other krnb/khiphop artists. drop some more I'd love suggestions. note: I'll abbreviate their names bc I'm lazy and I'll be saying def. bc jaebeom is def here.

also note - pls check out everyone in the thread (in the offshore crew/team + other artists), they're all amazing producers/composers/artists. I'll link em once they come up.

disclaimer: I don't know shit about music but imma try my best lmao (aka I barely know music terms)

SURFIN - Jaebeom's smooth ass vocals just lulls you in and I can't stress this enough: jomalxne's flow/rhythm gets you every time. his deep tone/voice serves the song so well and the beat ?? IMMACULATE (can you tell I'm a surfin enthusiast) https://twitter.com/off_def_/status/1213847564639969291?s=20

SURFIN pt. 2 - MirrorBOY, Def. (Jaebeom), & Jomalxne are on the track and they all shine through it. I'm pretty sure jomalxne and def. sing/rap primarily on the track while mirrorBOY composed the song along with them. He is on several other amazing songs off/on scene no.1)

THESE DAYS - mirrorBOY rides the beat rlly well and his voice just sounds amazing. it's very chill but has a motivating/hype sound to it. personally one of my favorites bc of the vibe

THESE DAYS pt.2 - written by iHwak and arranged by mirrorBOY. both composed it, honestly understandable with how much it slaps

LAZE - Def.'s vocals rolls right across the smooth beat and serves it so well (as he always does) and RoseInPeace arranged/composed it so well. He also sung on the track and he has a gorgeous voice. jomalxne, def, & roseinpeace's voices blend so well

LAZE pt.2 - Def and jomalxne actually wrote the song + MirrorBOY arranged it w/roseinpeace. it's personally another favorite of mine because it fits this lazy narrative of just chilling, which feels so damn relaxed

NIGHT SKY - Rose & HNMR perform night sky in this smooth as hell and they constantly develop the beat with their vocals. idk how to describe it but it's just so ?? fucking ?? cool ?? you just vibe to it and their flow is amazing

NIGHT SKY pt. 2 - jomalxne wrote this masterpiece while mirrorBOY & rose arranged it. jomalxne, rose, & HNMR composed it, which worked out so damn well holy shit. it's a personal favorite of mine

PLAY - Royal dive, def, HNMR, & jomalxne perform this absolute bop. it's this chill constantly rising song that feels like it never stops. it's honestly the most in your face song in terms of things happening but it's worth it. the vocals work so well GOD

PLAY pt. 2 - Jomalxne wrote this bop and Royal Dive arranged it. just like a majority of royal dive's stuff, it's full of vibes that makes it so cool ?? I sound like an idiot sorry. HNMR, Jomalxne, & Royal Dive composed the song as well

OFFSHORE - it kind of feels like an introduction to offshore itself ?? scene no. 1 was their first official album so it obviously brings you in, not full force yet and it's such a dancing song in the sense you feel confident as fuck (if that makes sense)

OFFSHORE pt. 2 - it was written by iHwak, mirrorBOY, & jomalxne and arranged by Royal dive. they're all on the track, serving god tier vocals + verses. I feel like it serves as such a good intro to offshore themselves. definitely would be great to listen to the album in order

SCENE No. 2 DOWN BELOW

SIMPLE - when I tell you I simp for this song. def's gorgeous vocals grace our ears with these lyrics which just feel warm and so sweet. it fits with the thought of being in a cabin near the fire. mirrorBOY joins him to add a lil sumn

SIMPLE pt. 2 - written by royal dive, mirrorBOY, and def. mirror boy & def feature on the track, making it sound so fucking heavenly. I'm probably biased bc it is jaebeom but there's something so vocally amazing about this song

SMOKE - the beat is so naturally catchy and works so well with their voices. def's voice glides across the verses while jomalxne's kind of add this bit of spice to it that kind of grounds it? their tones vary and it definitely only helps the track

SMOKE pt. 2 - Rose, jomalxne, and def wrote this absolute banger. it definitely has jomalxne & rose's flavor in it, if y'all know what I mean. it's has so much style you can just immediately hook onto

GUCCI - Jomalxne & HNMR's voices blend very well together. from what I can get from the song its like 'no matter Gucci or Walmart, you're gorgeous', which is why it's so beautiful sounding? it's such a chill song and it falls with the theme too

GUCCI pt. 2 - royal dive, mirrorBOY, jomalxne, & HNMR wrote this beautiful track while jomalxne and HNMR lend their amazing vocals. jomalxne's slightly rougher voice blends in with HNMR's angel like voice so much it hurts. they bounce off each other in the background. I love it

FIREPLACE - OH MY GOD MY FUCKING BABY. it's the only English song on the album and it's just so perfect. ihwak's soft ass vocals and the almost crackling fire like beat +the snapping fit the theme / it soothes you so much. I love him and the song so much.

royal dive & mirror boy produced this masterpiece + rose, royal dive, and ihwak wrote it. honestly even the lyrics are so fucking gorgeous. “Loving you is like diving in a pool full of starlight”

TAKE A WALK - using the word comforting to describe this song would be an understatement. def, HNMR, & ihwak’s voices blend so well together. they’re such a soft sounding symphony and can serve as it’s own lullaby. pls pls pls its my baby i love it sm

TAKE A WALK pt. 2 - royal dive and mirrorBOY produced this masterpiece & def, royal dive, mirrorBOY, HNMR, and ihwak wrote it. its such a soothing song and i can bet yall would love it if u don’t know offshore

SORRY I FORGOT TO LINK https://open.spotify.com/track/35PtNrnrtgm5dP8MyyzPIJ?si=rzdD6sRQTKaGnaHwTuoaLg

ITS OK - lyrically and musically its ok is this bitter goodbye kind of. its not exactly sad like the song vibes with you but its the constant “its okay, alright” keeps reminding you to not feel bad. jomalxne’s flow & rough voice is such a grounded pleasure + ihwak’s voice...

ITS OK pt. 2 ...just smoothes out jomalxne (complimenting him) and they turn into this amazing flow & sweet rhythm of a song. its just so beautiful holy fuck. royal dive & mirrorBOY produced it and they wrote it w/jomalxne. honestly it has a special place in my heart

CUT #1 DOWN BELOW

JUST STAY - sung by def. & junny, it embodies a visual idea that we're chilling by the pool during the summer. just like many other songs, their sweet vocals grace it. it's soft but glides cooly across the beat. it just makes you happy & wanna dance lowkey

JUST STAY PT. 2 - royal, junny, & def wrote this masterpiece. all 3 are masters at a happy but soft rnb songs. the title ‘just stay’ in itself is asking you to just stay in this fun, chill, nice place (in my opinion)

SWEET DREAM - oh my bby. i’m biased but def’s vocals just lift this song to godhood. it’s perfect for this kind of song which feels like a sweet dream. the ever changing beat go along with his voice or vice versa. he peaks with this hopeful feeling

SWEET DREAM pt. 2 - royal & def wrote this god tier song. it honestly feels as though you’re in this sweet dream as he guides you with his voice. it’s sweeter than any sugar or honey.
