Fredo Santana

Fredo Santana may be the alias of Derrick Coleman, a rapper who surfaced through the early 2010s as an elder statesman — yet barely out of his teenagers — of Chicago’s drill picture. Like a lot of his counterparts, Coleman hardly ever raises his tone of voice with self-assured and grim depictions of violent road life over sluggish beats that growth and rattle. He released his 1st mixtape in 2012, the same yr more youthful cousin, fellow South Part dweller, and Glory Boyz Entertainment co-founder Main Keef broke from the Midwest. After some supplemental tapes as well as the establishment of his personal label, Savage Squad, Coleman released his debut recording, Trappin’ Ain’t Deceased, in 2013. Keef and Lil Plant made looks, as do Kendrick Lamar, who was simply presented on “Jealous,” the album’s biggest monitor. Savage Squad mixtapes (offering regular looks from Keef) continuing to flow for quite some time. Among the produces were Walking Story (2014), Fredo Mafia (2016), and Connected In (2017).
