Lil Keed was a mainstay of the Atlanta rap scene, with albums like Keed Talk to ‘Em, A-Team (a collaboration with Gotit, Zaytoven, and Lil Yachty), and his Trapped on Cleveland series helping him to mainstream recognition. Keed also contributed to Young Thug’s establishment of Young Stoner Life Records, appearing on both Slime Language and Slime Language 2.

“He’s simply a lovely person at heart,” Keed said in a 2020 interview with Complex about his friendship with Thug. He’s a true humanitarian. He imparts knowledge to you.

He plays with you. He tells you things that other people won’t tell you. I know a lot of people who claim to be big dogs and all that nonsense but don’t actually aid their people. He aids his fellow citizens.

That is why I am so fond of him. It’s always a good time when we’re with him.”
