Chicago producer/rapper iLL Brown of TeamBackPack notoriety is working towards the release of a new EP called Don't Forget The Dope in the fall of 2017. Today, he released "Friends," a bittersweet tribute to friendship that features appearances from Freddie Gibbs, BJ the Chicago Kid, and G-Wiz. Brown's delicate, spare production imbues the track with nostalgia; Gibbs and G-Wiz remember old friends they lost to street violence.

Listen to "Friends" and follow Brown on SoundCloud.

Quotable Lyrics

Yeah you know niggas get, popping silly shit
12th grade, drinking that Blue Beast, we was getting bent
I look around and wonder where all my real niggas went
A victim of violence, moment of silence, let me reminisce

-Gibbs
