[Mixtape] Chief Keef: "Almighty So"
Chief Keef is back with his followup to 2013's Bang Pt. 2, titled Almighty So. The project, hosted by DJ Scream, is a series of 15 mostly solo tracks that Keef released on Friday at 10:17 in alleged "honor" of Gucci Mane, who is going through his own issues at the moment and could be a sort of peek into the future for the GBE frontman. Bang Pt. 2 was met with mixed reviews, a release this close to the August drop could be recognition on the part of Keef's camp of that reaction. Featured on the album artwork for the project sporting a shirt that reads "Free Keef" with hands on prison bars, the "Don't Like" star gets more personal on Almighty So, touching on his legal troubles and the influx of fame he has encountered in the past year or so. Check it out for yourself below.
[Mixtape] Been Trill Presents..."In The Field" (Vol. 1-3)
The Been Trill conglomerate compiled over 88 songs from a wide range of sounds and vibes for a refreshing new mix that will surely get any party bumping. Most of the tracks featured In The Field are previously released records that have proven themselves in clubs, events and house parties, but there are also a few exclusive gems such as Chief Keef & Wiz Khalifa's collaboration, "Rider". If you trying to get through this cold Monday, In The Field should do the trick.
[Video] Chief Keef: "Ight Doe"
Chief Keef's Bang Pt. 2 garnered some traction with standout tracks like "Ain't Done Turnin' Up" & "Morgan Tracy", but the 'tape didn't really have a true hit and lacked replay value. Nevertheless, the young Chicago rapper is not focused on Almighty So and this project has already started to gain even more hype than the previous one due to the erratic "Love No Thotties" and this new joint entitled "Ight Doe". Zae shot the latter and released it today. Check it out below and stay tuned for more joints from Keef in the near future.

Chief Keef Faces Eviction, Jail Time
UPDATE (2:18 PM CST): We just got word from Keef's manager, Idris Peeda Pan, as he exited court with Keef today that the GBE star will not be sent to jail today but will be booked October 15 for a two week stay behind bars for a parole violation after a drug test turned up positive for marijuana. The reason for the court visit today was because of a positive urine test a few weeks ago with his probation officer. More to come soon.
And the saga continues. It seems as though it is a never-ending trail of negative press for young Chief Keef. The latest issue arose after Keef's landlord of his $1 million Northbrook, Il., mansion filed eviction papers against the rapper alleging two months of unpaid rent. Payments on the home reportedly were $4,700 a month and because of non-payment his landlord is looking for up to $10,000. Keef's manager, Idris Peeda Pan, when asked for comment on the non-payment said, "the entire basement flooded a few months back, among other problems in the house. We came out of pocket to resolve things, ultimately leading to the decision that the home is unsuitable. We're currently looking for alternative locations in both the Northbrook, IL area and LA."
The latest charges come on the heels of a string of run-ins and lawsuits for the GBE artist. A London promoter won a $230,000 suit after Keef decided not to show up to a show, simply because he didn't respond to the lawsuit. He has a tendency to do this, skipping out on two shows in Tucson recently in a one-week span. All of this caused concert promotion company Scoremore to issue a press release late yesterday announcing the cancellation of Keef's shows in San Antonio and Austin, saying in the letter to customers, "Yesterday we were told that Chief Keef was summoned back to court and that he may indeed going back to jail. We are not willing to gamble with your money, and quite frankly, he has failed to report for some of his recent shows, which made us feel like the promises of change were aspirational rather than actual…. We will not allow that to happen." As for the potential of jail time, Peeda Pan had this to say: "We don't know for sure, however its highly possible he may be detained when he goes to court. We're staying optimistic."
[Video] Lorde: "Handle My Liquor"
16-year-old New Zealand native, Lorde, is definitely making a name for herself from the tiny South Pacific country. While performing in her home country for the iHeartRadio concert she took things up a notch by stealing a page out of Kanye West's book, performing he own rendition of "Hold My Liquor". The young songstress deftly maneuvers between Ye', Justin Vernon and Chief Keef's parts, without the marbles that seem to be swimming in Keef's mouth when he sang the original hook. She goes on to actually spit Kanye's verse pretty well, definitely worth checking out below.

[Video] Chief Keef: "Morgan Tracy"
Chief Keef is staying at the top of his game by changing up flows faster than everyone behind him before they can even bite his style. Keef has a bunch of projects in the works, so I'm not sure where his latest single, "Morgan Tracy", will land. Nevertheless, you can still enjoy the song with its accompanying video below.

[Video] Chief Keef: "I Ain't Done Turning Up"
