Almighty So 2 is both a reiteration of Chief Keef’s ethos from the original Almighty So (2012), as well as an update on his current beliefs as he continues to experiment with different ideas and mature as a 28-year-old pioneer of Drill. It’s extremely captivating to listen to Chief Keef pair a vulnerable and peculiar insight with his signature, imaginative braggadocios, on this album. And, it’s rewarding for long-term fans to see Chief Keef make music that is not only a testament to who he currently is, a trailblazer for drill, but also who he was, a kid growing up in the city of Chicago.
Sosa takes an unfamiliar angle on this album, assessing his relationships with the women in his life, while also feeling robbed of a childhood living in Chicago and going viral at a young age.
“Tryna learn how to treat these women, man/Sad to say I turned out just like my damn daddy, man/I’m that kid, I ain’t get to be a kid/Early age I started selling dope like my people did” ("Believe" - Chief Keef).
Almighty So 2 is a confession and an internal discussion, but it is also the refined sound of vintage Chief Keef.
This is such a powerful release because it feels like Sosa packaged the accumulation of countless hours experimenting with different characteristics of Hip-Hop, Trap, and Drill as a rapper, producer, and writer over the last decade. Having produced 15 of the 16 tracks, including standout tracks "Jesus", "1,2,3", "Believe", and "Treat Myself", Sosa expands the world he created on 4NEM , transforms the iconic Trap-A-Holics tags used in Dirty Nachos into “4 Nem Radio”, and continues what he started on the first Almighty So .
Chief Keef enters new grounds, looks back at his footsteps, and makes plans to continue growing on Almighty So 2 . This album puts in perspective how far Drill music has come since "Don't Like", and is the perfect example of how much Chief Keef’s artistry has evolved over the past 12 years.
