He manages to tap ASAP Rocky and Mac Miller for some of the standout tracks (“Superheroes”, “I Just Wanna”), but he’s at his best when he’s at his weirdest and heartfelt (“Yes”, “Ain’t Missing You”).įresh off his superb mixtape run leading to Dirty Sprite 2, Future is looking to put the flag back on his Freebandz label. While Young Chop doesn’t make a full presence on the album, Chop Squad DJ carries his spirit through much of the tape (“Laurel Canyon”, “Unstoppable”) as Keef sprinkles in his ballistic adlibs between his lines of imagery ( Call me Lil’ Glo, I come through and dim your yard). It was worth the wait however, as Keef put his improvements as an artist on full display. Originally slated to be the second full-length on Interscope, a number of delays and clashes with the label kept Bang 3 in limbo for over a year and a half. His latest release keeps the trend going of his Bang series. Maybe he’s following the footsteps of his mentor Gucci, because he’s continuing to release a ton of music of staggering quality and tighter songwriting.
Keeping himself in the cut like his pal Fredo Santana, Keef tried his hand in producing to impressive results. While many ruled him out for his misfortunes, Keef persevered making himself a true boss with his own label, Glo Gang, releasing projects and expanding his musical palette. His momentum stalled throughout 2013 due to multiple legal issues however, eventually being dropped from the record label in 2014. As the de facto head of Glory Boyz Entertainment, Chief Keef had an unusual energy that propelled him to mainstream success.įollowing prolific co-signs from Kanye West and Young Jeezy, Keef earned a deal with Interscope and exceeded expectations with his debut album, Finally Rich. His breakout mixtape Back From The Dead, put the spotlight on Chicago’s inner-city youth combating the daily outings of their lives and the influences that surrounded them musically.
Firmly ahead of that movement was a then 16-year-old Keith Cozart having the streets in a chokehold with blistering singles “3Hunna” and “Don’t Like”, packed with an explosive sound from his in-house producer Young Chop. As Atlanta had a near decade-long stranglehold on the Hip-Hop scene, 2012 saw a brief yet incredible break into the streak as Drill Music made its way into national ears.
