Chief Keef's Almighty So 2: Drill's Future Is Now
23 Aug
Summary
- Almighty So 2 reinvents the Chicago drill sound for a new era.
- Keef produced most of the 16 tracks himself, diverging from the original.
- The sequel builds on the legacy of the 2013 cult classic mixtape.
Chief Keef's "Almighty So 2" marks a significant evolution for the influential Chicago rapper, delivering a future-forward take on the drill sound he helped popularize. The mixtape, a sequel to the 2013 cult classic "Almighty So," stands out for its bold reinvention.
While the original "Almighty So" was characterized by its airy, cloud-rap-adjacent aesthetic, "Almighty So 2" is described as crashing in with a more immediate and impactful sound. Keef took creative control, producing all but one of the 16 tracks himself, a departure from the collaboration-heavy approach of its predecessor.
The sequel intricately weaves in elements from Keef's past projects, such as nods to "Dirty Nachos" and interludes featuring comedian Michael Blackson, reminiscent of "Bang Part 2." These nostalgic touches are enveloped by Keef and his co-producers' immersive beats, creating a fuller and more ambitious update on an established formula.
