Chief Keef has started a new label, 43B, which stands for Forget Everybody. Lil Gnar is the first artist to sign with the new label. Chief Keef has been in the game for over a decade now and has been independent for most of his career. He believes he has obtained the knowledge to pass down to up-and-coming artists. 43B is under RBC Records/BMG with Chief Keef’s manager being the head of the label. RBC Records have always worked with drill rappers, so this partnership won’t be anything new for them.
43B’s First Signee
Congrats to Atlanta native, Lil Gnar, on being the first artist signed to 43B! Lil Gnar is most known for his song “Death Note” and “Drop Top Benz” with Lil Skies. He just released his project, Die Bout It on May 20. On the 18-track project, he has guest features from Tory Lanez, Yak Gotti, Trippie Redd, Chief Keef, and a posthumous verse from Lil Keed. Lil Gnar had a close relationship with Lil Keed as he describes both of their paths to get into the music business on their song, “No Reason”. The video was just released a few weeks ago as well. Not only can Lil Gnar rap, but he is very versatile. He is also known to be a fashion designer as well as a skateboarder. Chief Keef has some talent on his hands!
