***4Nem*** is the fourth studio album by [Chief Keef](/source/Chief_Keef), released on December 17, 2021, through [Glory Boyz Entertainment](/source/Glory_Boyz_Entertainment), [EOne Music](/source/EOne_Music), and [RBC Records](/source/RBC_Records).[1] The features on this album include Tadoe and Ballout.

## Background

The album title comes from the word "foenem", which is a [Chicago](/source/Chicago) slang term used by people to refer to their friends.

Jaffa Saba[2] Creatively directed and produced the album cover. It depicts multiple Chief Keef’s plastic army men fighting in a war, some of which are standing on a stack of money, while some of the others are standing in sand. The sand is also filled with a bunch of jacks placed around across the battlefield. A hidden figurine of Chief Keef can also been seen on the background of the cover art, in one of his signature pose. [3]

Throughout the year of 2021, Chief Keef issued a slew of standalone singles. After 1,000 days since his last mixtape or album, he announced that he would be releasing an album on December 17, alongside an NFT on December 11.

## Singles

Three singles were released from the album. The first single, "Hadouken", was released on June 17, 2021. The second single, "The Talk", was released on July 12, 2021. The final single from the album, "Like It's Yo Job", was released on October 22, 2021.
