This a Chicago drill banger for the ages.

Chief Keef might be the most reliable artist when it comes to crafting elite, truck-knocking bangers. Sure, it is hard to count on him to drop when he says, but when he does, there are not many better than him. His eagerly-awaited mixtape Almighty So 2 is chock-full of said slappers and it is safe to say we will have this LP on repeat all week long and beyond. One track we have been revisiting over the last 24 hours and change has been "Neph Nem" with fellow Chicago vets, Ballout and G Herbo.

The second record on the tape is equal parts anthemic, grand, and stank-face inducing. The instrumental may be the most hard-hitting on the project, which is saying a lot considering how many stand out beats there are. Like most of the latter, Chief Keef handles this one by himself and it is excellently put together. From the orchestral background vocals to the bells and rapid fire 808s, it sounds like a lot going on. But no element overpowers the other.

As for the performances, everyone pitches in aggressive flows, and Sosa might provide the most hilarious bars on the record. "She told him she ain't hop on my d**k (Woo), she fell on it (Woo) / Had to leave by eleven, this b**** act like 12, homie (Woo, woo)." All in all, this project and this track are so enjoyable. It might be up for one of the best trap/drill albums over the last few years.

Quotable Lyrics:

B**** brought her friends and I put the squad on it (Woo, woo)
This ain't your regular truck (Woo), it's a mod on it (Woo)
Wide-body kit look like a dad bod on it (Woo, woo)
They like, "Chief So, your cup cost a BBL, don't it?" (Woo, woo)
Jewelry in the treasure box (Woo), call me Dragon Tales, homie (Woo)
That USPS, still check (Woo), I got mail, don't it? (Woo)
