Chief keef finally rich album zip zip#
They can be difficult to read and sometimes even harder to understand on a functional level, but they’re quite exhilarating.Finally Rich Chief Keef Zip Rating: 8,2/10 3044 reviews These songs on Two Zero One Seven are microcosms of the artist who made them. “Knock It Off” and “Dope Smokes” utilize keyboards with different intentions-the former as a pulse, the latter as an accent-and both have bite, cacophonous but never discordant. On “Trying Not to Swear,” the beat bottoms out and the sample gets muffled and distant, lined by the sound residue from the hum of a vibrating 808 kick. One minute he’s tinkering with piano chords, the next he’s making minimalist 8-bit trap, the next he’s channelling late ’00s Shawty Redd. He isn’t afraid to induce sensory overload with busy arrangements, but he’ll also strip sounds bare and leave them exposed. Keef seems to have little use for traditional “bangers” and he’s no audiophile (the quality of his sounds can vary dramatically), but he is willing to try just about anything and he has remarkable instincts. Earlier beats were unhinged, but these do more than just move in unorthodox ways they pop and glow. But it’s Keef himself who produces the majority of the project, and it’s this aspect of his creative repertoire that’s grown the most. Luger produces a handful of tracks on Two Zero One Seven, and the best, “Control,” is like the audio version of a miniature Tron light cycle race. With every passing song, he moves onward. He seems uninterested in honing the skills he already has, opting instead to try and figure out new ones. He’s a much better writer than his heirs, dropping gems like “My watch tried to take your bitch from me” (“Empty”), “Bitch, I’m still with the street shit/Clip longer than a selfie stick” (“Falling on the Floor”), and “the diamonds in my ear giving me a brain freeze” (“Trying Not to Swear”). His flows sputter, stagger, or just flat out drill. No matter how they’re delivered or what their purposes, his raps are packed with refreshingly bizarre non sequiturs and stream-of-consciousness one-liners. He often uses his voice as another instrument in his productions-it can be percussive or melodic or even amelodic in service of structure or flow. Sometimes he mumbles, sometimes he chants. “Running Late” presents a rousing rendition of the creepy lullaby from Nightmare on Elm Street. His sing-songs can scan as theatrical: near the start of “Fix That,” he warps his vocals into something resembling a cartoon voiceover, but by the end he’s unleashing a creaky falsetto. On some songs, he’s almost deadpan on others, he’s excitable. The 17-song tape is weird and expansive, and it reintroduces many of Keef’s most compelling quirks. And instead of attempting to reclaim lost territory, he dares to venture even deeper into open space. This is the case on his latest mixtape, Two Zero One Seven, where Keef proves he can produce more dynamic songs than any of his progeny while sleepwalking. They’re likely to happen when no one is looking. It churns out new models fast.īut with someone as mercurial and talented as Keef, moments of brilliance can materialize in an instant. Rap is one of few genres where artists can be deemed obsolete before turning 23. Chief Keef is now just 21 years old, at least a year younger than current it-rappers Lil Uzi Vert and 21 Savage-contemporaries Keef inspired when he was still in high school, who have already been tapped to succeed him. Both Keef and Luger are hugely influential, with elements of their sounds and aesthetics still impacting radio today, yet demand is down for both, just for different reasons. Keef’s refusal to produce a proper sequel to what may forever be hailed as his masterwork has caused interest in him to wane. Keef, meanwhile, should be considered nothing short of a prodigy. In 2012, at 17, he released the drill opus Finally Rich, and in the years since he’s continued to grow bolder and more daring, experimenting without concern for who likes what and distancing himself further and further from the sounds that made him so popular in the first place, losing two deals in the process.
