It's the kind of giddy thing which would normally accompany a song about a new crush, giving Keef's icy denials an ironic frame. DP's more recent work is represented in cuts like "Don't Love Her" (originally intended for Keef's unreleased Thot Breaker project), which piles on layers of keyboard melodies to suggest a sugary rush. Though neither made an official Chief Keef project, both are included here in pristine quality, capturing drill music's recent drift into the disorienting. Though the producer is based in North Carolina, his sound has shaped the popular music of the Midwest: the enigmatic melancholy of "Tec" and its sour brother "Fool Ya" were both major regional records last summer, with "Fool Ya" receiving regular spins on Power 92 and cresting 8 million views on YouTube. Where Young Chop built upon more maximal tendencies, DP Beats is detail-oriented, conveying more subtle shifts of mood. It's essential not just because the music is uniformly great-by any standard, this is one of the most consistent tapes in Keef's catalog-but because it captures a period of time in which each individual piece is in danger of being lost, released only as a low-quality YouTube snippet, or perhaps never seeing the light of day at all. Almighty DP is a DJ-free CD-quality compilation put together by DP Beats himself, the first in a series of tapes culling the duo's work together, songs released primarily over the course of the past year. ![]()
