When is chief keef finally rich dropping

Through a series of tweets Tuesday, the rapper intimated that he had been cut from his contract because of difficulties related to the handling and release of his upcoming album, "Back to the Dead 2.

Jimmy Iovine it was cool splitting it with U But u gave yo spot up! Keef kept up a steady stream of commentary Tuesday on his Twitter account, including the assertion that "Back from the Dead 2," a sequel to his mix tape that preceded his Interscope debut, is still on schedule to be released Oct. The heavily incentivized deal was linked to sales of Keef's full-length album "Finally Rich.

The three-album contract also included a controlling interest in his own record label, which was to be called Glory Boyz Entertainment. A series of legal troubles including drug offenses landed the rapper in and out of courtrooms and a stint in rehab, which many say contributed to the move by Interscope. To many who have been following the career of Chief Keef, being dropped by Interscope came as no surprise.

At 17 years old, Chief Keef is confident that his music is already setting trends. The Chicago native rose to prominence earlier this year with his self-released head-banging anthem "I Don't Like," parlaying online buzz into interest from labels like Cash Money and Atlantic.

Months after announcing his signing to Interscope in July, Keef credits his unique style-chants and gruff lyrics over stomping beats-to his success. I made my own style. I'm versatile and I got people that rap just like me, like I set trends. As you make music, you get better anyways. Keef recorded debut album "Finally Rich" Dec. Because of his online success, Keef feels his reach isn't limited to the United States.

I make music for everywhere. It features 50 Cent, who sounds at home for the first time on a pop-rap hit since "I Get Money".

Out of the handful of big names on Finally Rich , 50's appearance makes the most intuitive sense: Keef built his mystique, in part, on the idea that he was back from the dead , and 50 was the first rapper to overtly sell himself as an unkillable Terminator-like figure. His patented sing-song sloganeering sounds current again here, maybe because Get Rich or Die Tryin' came out when Keef was in elementary school and is part of his basic musical vocabulary. At all. His lyrics on Finally Rich are almost entirely composed of rudimentary gangsta-rap boilerplate, which he treats more like a graffiti bomber than a rapper, tagging his beats with slogans meant for maximum impact and minimal scrutiny.

French Montana, who pops up on "Diamonds", is most famous thus far for literally inventing a word he didn't even say. Some of the material filling out Finally Rich is already a year old, including the ubiquitous "I Don't Like" and another of Keef's earliest YouTube hits, "3Hunna", which now sports a Rick Ross feature. The album feels, promisingly, like a progress report on Keef's developing voice rather than a forced "arrival.

It feels specifically designed to make older rap fans massage their temples.
