Chief Keef's "Faneto," which originally appeared on 2014's Back from the Dead 2, was the sleeper hit of 2015, the song of the summer for anyone who wanted to yell out "cheese in my pockets, Velveeta" instead of Taylor Swift lyrics. There was an all-star Chicago remix and everything. But, without a video, it never quite had its crossover moment. Keef must have been too busy playing paintball.
Now, at long last, the video is here, with Keef atop a throne, Keef performing shows, and, naturally, lots of zoo animals ("I'm a gorilla in the fucking coupe / finna pull up in the zoo"). It's awesome, and maybe it's ready to be the hit that it always wanted to be. Or maybe it's just a reminder that Keef still has the throne and to be on the lookout for more from him soon. Either way, check it out below, and tune in to Noisey on VICELAND to see our recent documentary on Keef's life in LA and everything going on in Chicago without him.
