After dropping his highly successful album Almighty So 2, Chicago rapper Chief Keef recently closed out his A Lil Tour at Echostage. With 2024 winding down, the hype for live music is at an all-time high, and this night was no different. The show sold out weeks in advance, and you could feel the excitement in the air before it even started.
At Echostage on Nov. 24, the night kicked off with Lil Gnar, who brought crazy energy to the stage. He performed his top hits like “NEW Bugatti” and “Sticky Rice,” hyping up the crowd even more. To top it off, he gave fans a sneak peek of some unreleased music, which was a cool surprise and a major highlight for the audience.
Then came the Glo Boyz, Chief Keef’s crew, ready to keep the momentum going. Members like Doowop, Ballout, and Lil Flash hit the stage, performing solo tracks as well as collaborations like “Affordable” and “Trap Life.” As the set went on, more Glo Boyz joined in, and by the end, the whole crew was on stage together, turning up. The vibe was electric, and it was clear the crowd loved every second of it.
Finally, Chief Keef hit the stage, and the place went wild. He kicked off his set with the Almighty So 2 intro, and the energy was insane from the jump. Dressed in his signature style and rocking his famous Lincoln Loud chain, Chief Keef brought the heat. He ran through hits like “Yes Sir” and “Treat Myself,” and the crowd was rapping along word for word. The mix of old and new tracks kept fans engaged, and the vibe was unmatched.

As if that wasn’t enough, Chief Keef brought out a surprise guest: DC’s very own Fat Trel. The crowd went absolutely crazy when Fat Trel hit the stage, and the two teamed up to perform their track “Russian Roulette,” creating a moment nobody in the building will forget. To close things out, Chief Keef brought everyone—including Fat Trel and the entire Glo Gang—back on stage for a finale that was nothing short of epic. They ended with classics like “Love Sosa” and “I Don’t Like,” and the crowd shouted every lyric back at them, making it the perfect way to wrap up the night.
Chief Keef’s A Lil Tour couldn’t have ended on a better note. The energy, the surprises, and the hits made it a night to remember. From the Glo Gang’s squad energy to Fat Trel’s hometown love, and Chief Keef shutting it down like only he can, it was everything fans could’ve hoped for. If you were there, you know this was one for the books!
