Milwaukee’s rap scene has been steadily gaining recognition for its unique sound and talented artists, and Chicken P has emerged as one of the city’s most prominent figures. It’s led to him being co-signed by fellow rappers like Sexyy Red, Babyface Ray, Skilla Baby, Rylo Rodriguez, and Veeze, plus basketball players including Jalen Green and Rob Dillingham.With his latest single, “Ain’t Runnin’ Out,” the Really Rich Empire CEO showcases his versatile flow and commanding presence, further cementing his position as a driving force in Milwaukee’s hip-hop community.
The track, produced by ProdbyKaio and OnlyOneG, expertly blends the signature Milwaukee sound of chaotic handclaps with the hard-hitting, distorted drums reminiscent of the Midwest. Over this dynamic instrumental, Chicken P effortlessly transitions between melodic verses and assertive, rapid-fire delivery. His lyrics testify to his success and the hardships he’s overcome, as he confidently declares, “I done run this pape up, ain’t runnin’ out.”
The accompanying music video, directed by TeeGlazedIt, captures Chicken P in his element, flaunting his wealth and success from the comfort of his Rolls Royce convertible. The visual reminds the rapper of his journey from the trenches to the top, a narrative that resonates with his devoted fanbase.
“Ain’t Runnin’ Out” is a precursor to Chicken P’s upcoming mixtape, The Hardest N**** Living, set to release via Really Rich Empire and 10K Projects in the coming weeks. The mixtape aims to solidify the rapper’s status as one of the most respected artists in the Midwest and beyond, building upon the success of his previous releases, BussaBrick Vol. 3: ReallyRich4Eva and its accompanying deluxe edition.
Chicken P’s rise to prominence began in the late 2010s when he first made waves in Milwaukee with his raw, bass-heavy sound under the moniker Lil Chicken. Collaborating with respected tastemaker and video director TeeGlazedIt, Chicken P played a significant role in establishing Milwaukee as a hip-hop hotbed, with tracks like “Money Counter” garnering millions of views.
