You can't deny Chief Keef's legendary status. At this point, he's remained a fixture in hip-hop for the past decade. In fact, he celebrated the 10-year anniversary of his project Bang back in October. However, he hasn't dropped a new project since 2020. Mind you, he's remained active with plenty of loose singles that he dropped on YouTube.
Thankfully, Chief Keef wasn't leaving 2021 without giving his fans some new music. On Friday, he blessed us with the release of 4NEM. The project keeps the features to a minimum with the exception of Ballout and Tadoe. The latter joins Keef on the high-energy banger, "Tuxedo." Young Malcolm holds down the production as Ballout and Chief Keef bring us back to Chicago with vivid imagery of the volatile streets.
Check out the single below.
Quotable Lyrics
ZL1s and Z06s, you know I go fast
Cut us off in traffic, you got foenem on your ass
I get bread, yeah, I get bread, this shit can not go bad
Pussy ran up playin' games, it got his ass toe tagged
