Chicago rap is it right now. That's what I've been saying for about 2 weeks, ever since I first heard "Bang!", the breakout hit by Chief Keef. "Bang!" as well as every other song on Keef's mixtape was produced by one DJ Kenn aka All Or Nothing. He deserves just as much credit as Keef does for putting Chicago on the map lately; his futuristic production takes all the best parts of Lex Luger-esque trap music, boils them down to their essential ingredients and then abstracts them. The final effect is as brutal and crushing as any great 808 Mafia hit, but with an element of pent-up aggression that never lets up, making it even more threatening.
40 Boi is one of a handful of Keef's associates who has enlisted DJ Kenn's skills. This song is culled from a mixtape of incredible DJ Kenn-produced joints called More Than Music which is available for free download here. It features hits by all the big Chicago names including Chief Keef, Fredo Santana, Lil Durk, Lil Reese and others. On the intro, 40 Boi establishes himself as the highly-capable underdog of the crew. When 40 drops a solo tape I hope it generates just as much hype as Keef did with "Bang!" because he possesses a lyrical edge that really makes him stand out in the scene.
