Armed with palpable melodies fueled by raw emotion, 4PF signee Lil Kee channels his grief into art with the nuanced precision of a Delta blues veteran. Continuing his mission of immortalizing lost loved ones through his music, Lil Kee shares “Feelings Everywhere,” the latest video from his Letter 2 My Brother project, released last month. The Juvy Catcher-produced track finds Kee taking inventory of his anguish as he struggles to progress past mourning: “Time move slow when you want everything to end/I don’t know why I was just so ready to grow up/Staring at your picture shedding tears, phone in my hand.”

The Diesel Films-directed video for “Feelings Everywhere” finds Kee at the intersection of his complicated past and the countless potential outcomes that only he can determine. One moment he’s pacing in a kitchen filled with empty bottles and cigarette smoke, the next he’s sitting on the porch with his daughter. Yet, as he strives to move forward to a brighter future, his grief’s appetite for vengeance still haunts him as the camera flashes and his daughter is replaced by a shooter beside him. 

Home to recent video singles like “Automatic” and “Letter 2 My Brother,” which have combined for over 4 million views on Youtube, Letter 2 My Brother serves as more than just Lil Kee’s introduction to the music world. Spanning 20 tracks of heavy confessionalism, L2MB is an intimate gaze into the mind and heart of an artist grappling with loss. Featuring guest appearances from stars like LilBaby, Lil Durk, 42 Dugg, and BIG30, the project showcases the young artist’s range. He hones in on his distrust and paranoia on tracks like “What You Saying” and “Bop Him,” while he delivers explosive, albeit bittersweet flexes on tracks like “Outta Pocket” and “Cold.”

Along with the project, Lil Kee shares the video for “What You Sayin,” his new single with Lil Baby. The two 4PF emcees make a brilliant melodic tag team, each pouring their heart into each clever flex. Kee demonstrates his facility for hooks and delivers an earworm in his drawly croon, Lil Baby gifts his young protege with one of his best verses of the year: “Lamborghini green, Boston Celtics/Tryna quit this lean, but I can’t help it/I’ll be rich as f*ck until I’m breathless/Made a million bucks today for breakfast.”

Picking up music as a creative outlet after the loss of his cousin inspired him to keep his memory alive, Lil Baby hand-picked Lil Kee for his 4PF label roster for his ability to deliver raw street narratives and vulnerable pleas for respite with a naturally potent vocal gravitas. “I can definitely see him up next,” said Lil Baby to XXL. “Only thing he gotta do is keep his formula and just keep putting out music and he got it.”
