Chief Keef and his affiliate Ballout are teaming up on this five-minute-long banger called "Talking Ish" out now.

Could Chief Keef be adding to what's shaping up to be a stacked year for hip-hop releases? Potentially. The Chicago drill rapping icon has just come by with his second single of 2026 in "Talking Ish" which features his Glory Boyz affiliate, Ballout. As the title suggests, it's a boastful cut and its loud energy is matched by an epic beat produced by Keef himself. It's grand, haunting, and intimidating in every way and helps give each of the MC's bars more validity. As we said, this Keef's second drop of the year as it follows the equally long "Harry Potter" that came out in early January.

Release Date: February 5, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

Album: N/A

Ballout gonna pull up and pop your a*s like a balloon, n****

Even though being able to give his expertise on these stories is fulfilling, being able to share his passion for releases trumps that ever so slightly. Having the chance to express his excitement indirectly about what he thinks our readers should be checking out/revisiting grows his passion for writing that much more.
