Chiraq:
A nickname for Chicago, the third largest city in America. Derived from the sheer volume of crime and murder, so likened to walking through the streets of Iraq.
Noisey have just released the first part of their eight-part documentary series regarding Chitown’s biggest export at the moment: Drill. They headed to Englewood, one of the most dangerous neighbours in the Windy City to catch up with Chief Keef (as famous for his social media presence, as he is for Finally Rich) who was unfortunately going through the latest in his long line of legal battles.

Instead they caught up with fellow 3hunna members Young Chop (on da beat!), Lil Reese and Lil Durk who expounded on the explosion of the scene and learnt about the struggles and socio-economic realities of surviving in Chiraq.
