Our Story 

OFFRIP’s story begins in 2017, when Kip, Nick Coleman, and Nye Moody first connected in Loyola University New Orleans’s music industry program. Fueled by a shared passion for hip-hop, the trio turned Nick’s dorm (Room 401) into a creative hub, crafting music together as an unnamed group. Their talent quickly gained traction, leading them to their first live show—where OFFRIP was officially born.

The team soon relocated to 15 Cromwell Place, a storied white house behind Loyola’s library. This new HQ, once a fraternity house, transformed into OFFRIP’s cultural epicenter. By hosting regular gatherings and events, they built a vibrant community, uniting local artists and students in a thriving nightlife scene.

While initially focused on live events, OFFRIP pivoted when the pandemic disrupted their plans, shifting their energy toward music production and digital marketing. They launched the OFFRIP EP, collaborating with Louisiana artists like Wakai, JoshSimmons, and Kr3wcial. Soon after, they ventured into artist promotion and playlist curation, supporting artists through digital growth.

Following their graduation from Loyola, OFFRIP’s founders set their sights on Los Angeles, but the journey took an unexpected turn when Wakai reached out, seeking management for his music career. Recognizing the moment, OFFRIP officially entered artist management, launching Wakai’s debut project, To A Dark Boy, to critical acclaim. The project’s success solidified OFFRIP’s place in the industry, and with new momentum, the team welcomed Quadry, JoshSimmons, and Cisco Swank to their roster. Cisco’s debut, More Better, and subsequent tour underscored OFFRIP’s influence.

Expanding their impact, OFFRIP established a distribution network in partnership with TooLost and added renowned percussionist and vocalist Luke Titus to the team.

As they move forward into 2024, OFFRIP stands at the forefront of a new music era. With an unwavering commitment to authenticity and artistic integrity, OFFRIP is dedicated to reshaping the future of the music industry, one artist at a time.
