Drill. Orchestra. Some genre combinations we never see coming but make perfect sense afterwards. This is the case with Chief Keef joining forces with a 6-piece orchestra for a crazy rendition of “Faneto” as part of Audiomack’s Trap Symphony series. Keef once again proves his versatility and natural instinct as an artist as he seamlessly makes a…
Just over a week after announcing, Smino has let loose NØIR, the follow up to last year’s blkswn.
