Although some may have scoffed at Lupe Fiasco declaring in a radio interview last week that rising rap star Chief Keef “scared him” as a result of the Chicago teen’s violent depiction of their shared hometown, a quick look at the staggering rise in the murder rate of Black and Hispanic teens due to gun […]
Gun violence in Chicago has claimed the life of yet another youngster. Rapper Lil Jojo was one of two people gunned down in overnight shootings on the city’s South Side Tuesday (Sept. 4). Police found Jojo—born Joseph Coleman—unresponsive on the street. He was riding a bicycle when a gunman driving a tan or gray vehicle […]
Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco has been getting a lot of media of late for his outspoken stances, including railing against negative song and video reviews and expressing weighty emotion when talking about the violence in his hometown. The latest buzz moment for the Lasers rapper was sparked by some pointed criticism for one of his […]
Kids these days, I tell you. The young and controversial Soulja Boy along with the younger and even more controversial Chief Keef knocked out a studio session last night and not even 24 hours after it is finished, the song has hit the net. At first glance, you would think that a song with these […]
Chief Keef seems to never take a day off. Whether he is making news for ruffling Lil Wayne and Kanye West’s feathers, or dropping new music, Chief Keef seems to never not be busy. Today, Keef flips from things he “Don’t Like,” to things he has an “Appreciation” for. This song was premiered by DJ […]
After Chief Keef threw gasoline and lit a match on the G.O.O.D. Music bridge that was built for him last week, Keef might have scorched another potential bridge with Young Money. Birdman had expressed a lot of interest in signing Chief Keef before he settled at Interscope Records, but it looks like he won’t be […]
Trey Songz isn’t slowing down for a day with Chapter V about to hit the stores in two weeks on August 21st. In this free record, Trigga tries to tackle the Young Chop-produced “I Don’t Like” record by Chief Keef and Lil Reese. This record probably won’t help Chief Keef’s popularity more than he’s already done himself, […]
Chief Keef was already bubbling on the Chicago streets thanks to some local hits but in particularly the Young Chop-produced anthem “I Don’t Like.” Of all places, a Gawker story raised his profile on the Internets but it was surely Kanye West remixing the song with a bunch of his G.O.O.D. Music cronies, and Jadakiss, that raised […]

Chicago’s new favorite son, Chief Keef, snags his first solo magazine cover courtesy of The FADER. For better or worse, the “I Don’t Like” rapper has been on the lips of everybody in Hip-Hop since he broke out this past spring after dropping his Back From The Dead mixtape and having Kanye West, Big Sean, Pusha T and […]
This is more awkward than the last season of Martin. In what was a polar opposite of A$AP Rocky and Danny Brown‘s classic set of interviews with each other while poolside and seemingly drunk, Chief Keef and Childish Gambino talk with each other and you can cut the awkward tension with a knife. After pressuring Keef to […]
King L continues to put the blogosphere in the camel clutch with his latest visuals for “Money Team.” The track featuring BigHomie Doe definitely falls under the “I can take your girl” rap category. “Money Team” appears on the recent Epic Records signee’s Showtime mixtape, which contains features and production from Chief Keef, Lex Luger, Young Chop, Million $ Mano, Lil’ Durk, and […]
