About the Work
Almighty So examines the cultural impact of Chief Keef and the
generation of Chicago music that emerged during the early 2010s.
The work reflects a moment when young artists from Chicago were
using music and the internet to document an environment that was
rarely represented from their own perspective.
Chief Keef became one of the most influential figures to emerge
from that movement, helping reshape the sound, image, and
distribution of modern rap music.
The painting explores that influence while preserving the energy
of the period that introduced him to the world.
