Chief Keef Reunites With Mike Will Made-It In The Ominous ‘Status’ Video

c …

Despite being an instantly-recognizable star with collaborations with Kanye West to his name, Chicago drill firestarter Chief Keef has remained remarkably low-key over the past several years. At the height of his internet stardom, Keef’s name was all over the place — but maybe that’s why he’s adopted a strict anti-publicity campaign in the time since, only releasing under-the-radar albums marketed directly to his fans with little to no mainstream promotion and foregoing big-name collaborations almost entirely.

However, that soon changes with the impending release of his joint project with superstar producer Mike Will Made-It. The two have been teasing its existence for some time beginning in September with the video for “Bang Bang.” Today, they released the second single from the upcoming album, titled “Status,” accompanied by a twitchy, ominous video full of guns, girls, and Glo Gang shenanigans. Mike’s menacing beat makes a perfect complement for Keef’s violent lyrics sounding as much like a horror movie soundtrack as the drill soundscapes Keef first made his bones over.

The duo has yet to share the release date (or even a title) for the upcoming project but it’ll be Mike’s first since losing a hard drive with 10 years on it and Keef’s first full-length release that isn’t part of one of his mixtape series, The GloFiles or The Leek. Stay tuned.

Watch the “Status” video above.

MTS Management Group artists celebrates friendship with new release “A Song for My Friends”

MTS Management Group artists’ latest release, “A Song for My Friends,” is a happy, upbeat song that captures the magic of being together, celebrating, and remembering. The track has a contagious energy that is like the spirit of late-night jam sessions and sing-alongs that happen out of the blue. The production is clean and smooth, but also laid-back.

The tune of “A Song for My Friends” is a toast, and it’s clear what the band wants. A party for the people who have been there since the beginning, the fans who keep coming back, and the nights that artists will never forget that remind them why they fell in love with music in the first place.

“A Song for My Friends” stands out in a world full of overproduced singles because it has heart, energy, and honesty. It’s a moment we shared that I put in a bottle and sent to you with a chorus that you’ll be singing long after the music stops.

Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”

Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.

Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.

“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.
