Wes Period and I met as two scraggly misfit kids, touring through the Southern summer heat like a roving band of pirates. Our maniacal, border-line hyperactive personalities fit together like a two-piece puzzle, so it was only right when we linked up in 2015 for a Los Angeles writing session. Cut to a Sawtelle Blvd. lockout studio, smelling of stale blunt smoke, with muffled, out of key 808’s leaking from underneath the doors. Upon walking into Wes' magical domain, I knew that we’d come out with a hit. Little did I know, it would be this tune, “Offline.”
I swear to god, Wes whipped up this beat in a hair over five minutes. That’s not to say he rushed greatness, it just shows how meticulously and effectively he can execute his vision. What a stud. Fast forward seven years and the 16 bars that sat empty, waiting to be filled, like a church at sunrise on a Sunday, have finally been blessed. Not by any random that $700 and a SoundCloud repost could entice, but by the producer, writer, and overall legend himself; Wes Period.
