After Interscope released Finally Rich, the Chicago rapper underwent serious, uh, glowing pains, during which his already-dark music took a surreal, infernal turn. He uploaded songs to his SoundCloud, like 'Wait', that felt too weird to include on any official releases. On Back From the Dead 2 and Nobody, he drowned his voice in processing like someone bent on murdering their personality through technology.

It was a fascinating reinvention, forged away from the glare of major labels, in the soup of YouTube and Audiomack plays. It was occasionally indistinguishable from flailing.

On Sorry 4 the Weight, he emerges as something new: A calm, poised, self-sufficient auteur, a production machine of Keef Music. The tracks on Sorry 4 the Weight are credited to simply GGP, or Glo Gang Productions. Individual names are subsumed into the collective, but members include Hurtboy AG, 12 Hunna, DP Beats, and Keef himself. The vagueness of authorship may be intentional, a way of retaining ownership over a house sound. And that sound has settled into something that feels both formally fixed and malleable, a sort of sonic Silly Putty that can be stretched and stamped in any direction. The basic stuff of the sound comes from tinny MIDI patches arguing with each other in squiggly bursts, while drums boom and rattle.

The sounds all line up along the same plane, so it all reaches your ear in a trebly tangle of mid-frequencies. It’s both busy and dinky, a hard chunk of sound that separates into a writhing pile of earworms when poked.Ĭongas and bongos, clattering busily around the edges of the music, are the most noticeable new addition on Sorry 4 the Weight.
