REVIEW: Chief Keef's "24" Feat. ManeMane Is Sluggish And Monotonous

Chicago rapper Chief Keef has shared a new song through his Soundcloud page called "24," featuring ManeMane4CGG, which you can check out below.

The Dirty Vans-produced track features an admirably creepy electric piano sample, but that's pretty much where the compliments end. The track takes an unnecessarily long 48 seconds for the rapping to finally being, and once it starts, we get Keef doing something that falls short of both rapping and singing, making it painful to hear in two different ways. He's consistently behind the beat (which is tinny and overly fussy), and can't seem to be bothered to rhyme with any word other than "twenty-four."

ManeMane brightens things up a little bit with his verse, though he's unimpressive in a different way than Keef was. In contrast to Keef's sluggish, sing-songy delivery, ManeMane works with a tighter flow, though "flow" might be the wrong word to describe his rigid, staccato-like delivery. His rhymes aren't much better than Keef's either, since he seems to be sticking with the same monotonous repetition of "24." These two are trying so hard to make "24" happen, but it's not going to happen.

Chief Keef's debut album Finally Rich was released back in Dec. 2012, and he has yet to release another album. More recently, Keef has been teasing his upcoming collaboration with fellow Chicago rapper Kanye West for the single "Nobody."
