They officially returned with a triple album in 2022 and have a new album, Hi Top Fade, coming up on October 10.
Appreciate it
Millennial hipster-era darlings that became casualties to Gen-Z’s shift in taste preferences alongside Vice Media, Desus & Mero, New Girl, Charles Hamilton, American Apparel, Tumblr, Forums, Blogs, etc.
I love a lot of their work, but once Keef and Durk took over the sound of the Chicago, their retro production style didn’t hit the same. Highkey, I like Sir Michael Rocks solo work a lot more.
But I think their reunion album could do well if marketed similarly to the Clipse with the legacy media interviews. Would be a good signee for a label like Mass Appeal who could market their style / influence properly. They really started a lot of the retro streetwear / sneaker culture we saw the resurgence of.

of all the rappers that are starting podcast, these two would probably have the one I’d actually want to listen to the most.
Thanks I'll check this out.

They actually had a comeback album in 2017 called Special Edition Grand Master Deluxe. After that they dropped regular singles for a couple years that culminated into a compilation tape called Volumes in 2020. Then the triple album Before shyt Got Weird (Disc 1 group album, disc 2 Sir Michael Rocks album Baby Oil Staricase, disc 3 Chuck Inglish album Chillout). Also leading up to Volumes they dropped EPs with The Alchemist (Layups, 2019) and Cardo (Got Wings, 2020) but those songs ultimately ended up on Volumes.
I never got the whole thing only bits and pieces of a few songs.
