Fool me once...

We're not uploading an old article on accident, nor should you be concerned by the deja vu you're feeling: this has just been an unfortunately regular occurrence. It was recently announced on social media that Chief Keef's long-awaited project Almighty So 2 is dropping this Friday (May 10), which has fans feeling skeptical. Outlets backed up this new claim with what seems to be an Apple Music pre-save tracklist featuring Ballout, G Herbo, Lil Gnar, Tierra Whack, Sexyy Red, and Quavo. The DIRTY NACHOS rapper already dropped that mixtape earlier this year, but there's even more material on the way.

Or is there? A lot of hardcore Chief Keef fans and rap listeners alike pointed out that Almighty So 2 has been marred with delay after delay, so much so that many won't believe it until they see it. Somebody hold our liquor, because he really turned into a different version of Kanye West, Playboi Carti, and other notorious non-droppers in the hip-hop game. We don't know for sure what caused these pushbacks, but regardless, this Friday represents a big chance for everyone to rejoice and finally get this albatross off our necks. Or for massive disappointment... Who knows?

Chief Keef's Alleged Almighty So 2 Tracklist & Release Date

Elsewhere, Chief Keef is looking to return to a Chicago stage for the first time in a decade to perform at Lyrical Lemonade's Summer Smash this year. We're sure that with a whole lot of new material (assuming that Almighty So 2 actually comes out), fans will have a lot of fresh cuts and classics to enjoy if nothing happens with the performance. Tickets are still available on their website if you want to attend. Otherwise, we're sure the Internet will keep us updated with some FOMO clips.

Chief Keef is also firmly on the Sexyy Red train, as the two seem to have developed a strong artistic bond as of late. With some collaborations under their belt, public appearances, and on-stream phone calls, it seems like a great dynamic duo for some grimy bangers. They'll apparently collaborate once more if Almighty So 2 drops this week, which is pretty exciting. But history shows us that all we can do is wait until we actually see it for ourselves.
