Lil Keed was a fixture in the Atlanta rap scene and gained mainstream success through a catalog that included Keed Talk to ‘Em, A-Team—a collaborative project with Gotit, Zaytoven, and Lil Yachty—as well as his Trapped on Cleveland series. He also played a notable role in Young Thug building up Young Stoner Life Records, with Keed appearing on both Slime Language and Slime Language 2.
In a 2020 interview with Complex, Keed talked about his bond with Thug, saying, “He’s just a great person at heart. He’s real pure-hearted. He teaches you stuff. He gives you game. He tells you some shit folks won’t tell you. I know a lot of folks, they say they’re big dogs and all that shit, but they don’t really help their people. He helps his people. That’s why I love him so much. Every time we’re with him is a great time.”
