Chief Keef’s sixth studio production, Skeletor, maintains his loud and energetic style, but does not match his previous album.
The new album follows the massive success of Almighty So 2. He also has created over 30 mixtapes throughout his career, including Back From the Dead, Almighty So, and Bang 2.
The new album features some notable features, like Ian’s verse on “Video Shoot.” Some others include G Herbo on “Slide” and Rich the Kid on “PS5.”
Keef’s rowdy style is especially seen in tracks such as “24Hrs,” “Doja,” and “Mark of Buddha.”
But there are drawbacks to the album, including the long intro and outro during “Breaking Down” and on “Number 2.”
Also, many tracks rely heavily on repetition, like “The Real Chief Keef.” It borrows the phrase “Will the real Chief Keef please stand up” from Eminem’s classic song “The Real Slim Shady.” While it is a fun reference, it shows some laziness from Keef.
Some other tracks feel rushed, like those on “Shrek and Donkey” and “PS5.” The lyrics on the song “Slide” feel sloppy, like when Keef says, “Double R doors close when I press a button. / When I was younger, Jusglo was my favorite cousin.”
Overall, the record itself is decent, but nothing compared to Keef’s last project, Almighty So 2.
