Update 2: The Chicago Tribune have offered more details about the show’s cancellation. It took place at Craze Fest in Hammond, Indiana. The mayor and police chief in Hammond reportedly warned promoters that the show would be shut down if Keef performed. The show, originally scheduled to take place in Chicago, was canceled when City Hall reportedly argued that it “posed a significant public safety risk”. Right before the show was shut down, Keef urged the crowd to “stop the violence.”


Earlier this month, Chief Keef announced a tribute concert for Dillan Harris, the 1-year-old who was killed by a car fleeing the scene of rapper Capo’s fatal shooting in Chicago on July 11. Keef planned to attend the show via hologram from a soundstage in Beverly Hills, California. He currently lives in the Los Angeles area, and he reportedly cannot be in Chicago due to outstanding warrants. The concert was originally scheduled for July 17, but got postponed due to alleged opposition to the event from Rev. Michael Pfleger, a pastor at Chicago’s St. Sabina Catholic Church.

Earlier this week, Keef announced via Instagram that the concert was rescheduled for July 25, as the FADER points out. The Instagram video also alleges that the original performance was “banned by the Mayor of Chicago.”

The concert will stream live tonight at 11 p.m. EST on FilmOn from a secret Chicago location. Watch it here.

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

“Wake Up” With Young Franco & Master Peace

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
