Milwaukee rap star Chicken P has just dropped his new mixtape Lit 4 Ever out now via Really Rich Empire/10K Projects. A 10-track outing with no features, Lit 4 Ever is a punchy exhibition of the Midwest heavyweight’s boundless range, pairing the vivid lyricism he’s become known for with colossal, bounce-heavy production. Bolstered by emotive offerings like “I Need You”, as well as the Pi’erre Bourne-produced “My YN” and “5 of Em”, the tape finds Chicken P expanding on the melodic sound showcased on November project Chick James, Vol. 1, a soul-inspired ode to pop icon Rick James that featured smash hit “Look Like” (11M+ Streams), and also follows recent YTB Fatt collab “1:45 In Milwaukee”.
With candid portraits of his come-up within Milwaukee street life, Chicken P has set himself apart from the rest of his state’s artists by refusing to adhere to the Midwest’s regional “lowend” sound on every release. Following tracks like “Venting” (15M+ Streams) and the “People’s Favorite” Remix (feat. 42 Dugg), Chicken P’s aforementioned Chick James, Vol. 1 tape stamped his fifth release of 2024, capping off a breakthrough year that also saw him put out BussaBrick Vol. 3, Hardest N****a Livin’ (#10 on Apple Music’s Hip-Hop Chart), 4EvaLit, and Still Bussin. Having racked up co-signs from rap staples like Sexyy Red, who brought him out as a surprise guest at her Milwaukee show, as well as Peezy, Veeze, Rylo Rodriguez, Skilla Baby, and Babyface Ray, plus NBA star Jalen Green, Chicken P has also recently made waves performing alongside 42 Dugg on his nationwide 4eva Us Neva Them Tour.
