Chief Keef has been promising a follow-up to his beloved 2013 mixtape Almighty Sofor years, and now he’s finally delivered.
On Friday (May 10), the rapper released Almighty So 2, a 16-track project that features guest appearances from, among others, G Herbo, Lil Gnar, Tierra Whack, Quavo, and Sexyy Red.
In addition, comedian Michael Blackson, who appeared on the original Almighty So, shows up on the new one as well.
Sexyy Red’s verse, on the song “Grape Trees,” should come as no surprise, as she and Keef have been frequent collaborators of late.
They first joined forces in late 2023 for Sexyy’s “Ghetto Princess” and a remix of her track “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad).” That was followed by “Damn Shorty,” a song from Keef’s Dirty Nachos mixtape with Mike WiLL Made-It.
In a March interview with Billboard News, the Chicago legend spoke about the rising Midwest MC from backstage at Rolling Loud LA.
Asked by interviewer Tetris Kelly what he believed was the reason, “people go so crazy for Sexyy Red,” Keef’s response was simple: “She just … you could tell she really just come from where we come from.”
Elsewhere in the interview, the “Love Sosa” rapper reflected on why he works so well with the “SkeeYee” rapper.
He explained: “Shit. I just know she fuck with me real heavy. I fuck with her too. Saying she wants to come through and I said “hell fucking yeah.”

Keef is set to commemorate the moment with his first performance in his hometown of Chicago in over a decade.
Keef was announced as one of the headliners of this year’s Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash festival alongside Playboi Carti and Travis Scott and his Cactus Jack labelmates such as Sheck Wes and Don Toliver.
Berto Solorio, co-founder of the festival, celebrated the return of Keef to his hometown, telling the Chicago Sun-Times: “It’s going to be a historic moment in Chicago music history when Sosa returns home to perform at Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash.”
Also scheduled to perform are the likes of Big Sean, Kodak Black, Denzel Curry, Lil Yachty, JID, Mick Jenkins, Ski Mask the Slump God and Waka Flocka Flame.
The festival takes place on June 14-16 at SeatGeek Stadium.
