Off the rip on the intro track “See The Pain,” Dexter shows off his melodic side, crooning about the pain of missing his mother who’s no longer by his side.
The 17-track project serves as the follow-up to his critically-acclaimed debut effort Dex Meets Dexter, with the name dedicated to his late mother who passed away from breast cancer. "Faneto" has been described as explosive, fiery and rhythmic, and odd, atypical-sounding, and unexpected.Famous Dex returns with his most personal project to date: Diana. The song contains heavy ad-libbing and an echoing drum bassline. The song is violent at times, with lyrics such as "Talkin' out his neck, pistol to his throat (To his throat, bang) / Blow this motherfucker, he gon' choke." Other versions Chief Keef makes threats like blowing up the state of New Jersey in response to someone stealing jewelry. In 2015, a ten minute remix of Faneto was made with Chicago rappers Lil Bibby, Lil Herb, King Louie, and Lil Durk, produced by DJ Pharris.
The song saw sustained viral success, around 60 million cumulative YouTube views, and was covered by Drake. One review points out that Back from the Dead 2 was one Chief Keef's best mixtapes, and that "Faneto" was the centerpiece of it, helping to cement Keef in the rap game, as the "internet was flooded with infinite remixes of the track, raising the profile nearly every rapper that graced the beat (see: Young Pappy and Famous Dex). XXL magazine said that the song has "undoubtedly become one of the biggest hip-hop party anthems in recent years". Ĭomplex reported on the continuity of the songs success: "In April 2015, the Chicago Reader published a story that called attention to the unexpected, 'slow' rise of the song, which had been out for well under a year.
Now, here we are, in 2019, and 'Faneto' is just as hot as ever." When asked why he thinks people are still reacting so passionately to the music five years later, Chief Keef explains that it all stems from the day he initially created the rhythm.
