Over Young Chop’s absurdly maximal beat, Keef’s voice is a perpetual flatline. “3Hunna” builds on the gunshots and minimal rapping of “Bang” and “I Don’t Like,” but adds Auto-Tune.

Respectfully, though, West turned the spotlight in the other direction on his verse on the “I Don’t Like” remix, rapping Free Bump J, real nigga for life. His biggest song (and the hardest track ever featured in a national McDonald’s commercial) was “Move Around,” which opened with a typically self-aggrandizing adlib from its producer, Kanye West. Now, Bump’s career is as cautionary as it is inspirational: he’s sitting halfway through a 10-year stint for bank robbery in Texas. In 2005, Bump J was Chicago’s most beloved street rapper, bestowed with the gang nickname “Chief.” His blasted-from-parked-cars local buzz grabbed today’s drill crowd just when they were first getting into music, making Bump and his million-dollar Atlantic contract, for some, their first local legend.

But unlike couture fashion, the benefits here are mutual: Keef gets a co-sign from a rap god, and Kanye renews people’s faith in his own creation myth, even if he’s increasingly more at home on Boulevard Saint-Germain than in the boroughs of his Chicago youth. Like so many of the couture designers he adores, here Kanye acts as art director to his miscreant muses, taking cues from the street and wrapping them up in lavish production like a cultivated aesthete. The obvious irony that Kanye West has rallied the troops around something he absolutely does like should not take away from the fact that he’s co-opted Chief Keef’s adolescent fed-upedness with great aplomb.

"I Don't Know Dem," "Winning" with King Louie, and "3hunna"-an incredibly catchy earworm that you can download below-are a strong run of singles, and it's difficult to think of many artists, of any age, who've dropped tracks this replayable back-to-back-to-back in the past two months.ĭownload: Chief Keef, "3hunna" (Prod.The reigning sound of rap in Chicago-with toughly detached deliveries and muddy beats as big as the Sears Tower-bears little obvious resemblance to the sound of just a few years ago, in part because some of today’s crop didn’t even graduate middle school until after Kanye West’s Graduation dropped. He might be young and still developing as a rapper, but in the few short months since his release, he's dropped several tracks that exemplify his potential to be a major artist. Keef is apparently no longer on house arrest (punishment for an aggravated unlawful use of weapons charge from early December), but when he was, he was incredibly productive. The catch is that Keef isn't a one-hit-wonder by any stretch in fact, the young fan on WorldStar had actually been rapping lyrics from another track, "Aimed At You." When listeners on the national stage first discovered Chief Keef through his obsessed fan's unexpected WorldStar appearance, most of the attention was focused on his track "Bang." This was because, thanks in part to DGainz cinematography and a beat from DJ Kenn, "Bang" had become his most-viewed YouTube video.
