stayc main image

Chief Keef, the enigmatic figure of the rap industry, has once again disrupted the scene with the release of his much-anticipated mixtape, Almighty So 2. Dropping over a decade after its predecessor, this project reaffirms Keef's influence and showcases his evolution as an artist.

Almighty So emerged in 2013, a pivotal moment in Keef's career. At just 18, he was already labelled a washed-up rapper by some, yet this mixtape catapulted him to cult status. Fast forward to 2024, and Keef, now an elusive figure, delivers a sequel that defies expectations.

The Chicago drill style, which Keef helped pioneer, has since transcended borders, becoming a global phenomenon. Keef's self-produced beats are unapologetically hard-hitting, staying true to the genre's roots while incorporating artfully flipped samples that add depth and complexity.

The guest features on the album, including the likes of Sexyy Red, Quavo, and Tierra Whack, complement Keef's ferocious delivery, adding layers to the sonic landscape. Tierra Whack's explosive performance on "Banded Up" is a standout moment, highlighting the tape's diversity and Keef's ability to collaborate across genres.

Moreover, Almighty So 2 arrives amidst a flurry of activity for Keef. His recent collaboration with super-producer Mike Will Made-It on the Dirty Nachos mixtape has generated buzz, signalling a fruitful partnership. Keef's upcoming performance at the Summer Smash Festival also marks his return to the Chicago stage after a decade-long hiatus, promising a historic moment for both the artist and his hometown.

Despite numerous delays and setbacks, Almighty So 2 is a testament to Keef's resilience and enduring relevance in an ever-evolving industry. With its raw authenticity and unapologetic swagger, this project solidifies Chief Keef's status as a true icon of hip-hop. As fans eagerly immerse themselves in the sonic landscape of Almighty So 2, one thing is certain: Chief Keef's influence continues reverberating through the halls of rap, ensuring his place in the pantheon of legends for years to come.
