The Revival of Adamn Killa (Real Recap)
Say what you will about Adamn Killa but we should be talking more about his resurgence in 2024.
After publicly falling out with former collaborators Drain Gang and spending $20,000 on a Lil Uzi Vert feature that Uzi refused to clear, no one would have blamed the Chicago native for calling it quits with music and focusing on providing for his family. But after a brief hiatus, he’s stormed back into relevance this year by any means necessary, whether it’s a string of free shows at local high schools, battling to get to the top ranking on Cameo and delivering an endless stretch of social media posts with raunchy captions. Most importantly, he’s making catchy music that people are resonating with and you can tell that he truly cares about his fanbase.
On Saturday night, Adamn could see that his work paid off. While Subterranean was far from full, nearly all of the 75-100 fans who showed up were die-hards, battling to get to the front, rapping along to several of his new songs and racing to the merch line once he announced he’d be taking pictures with everyone after the show.
If Adamn keeps this up, he could be in store for an even bigger 2025. We’ll be watching closely.
