Chicago’s own DaWeirdo, also known as “No Face McKinney,” is making waves in the music world once again—this time alongside Grammy-nominated rapper Freddie Gibbs. Their new single “Brothers” is more than a track—it’s a gripping narrative, wrapped in gritty production and fearless authenticity.
From Englewood’s streets to the national stage, DaWeirdo’s journey is all about turning pain into power. Inspired by legends like Kanye West and André 3000, his sound blends poetic honesty with experimental flair. And now, with “Brothers,” he dives even deeper.
The track captures the duality of struggle and loyalty, pain and perseverance. Freddie Gibbs brings his signature raw edge, while DaWeirdo’s voice anchors the record with personal reflections and emotional depth. The collaboration feels organic—a meeting of two lyrical minds who know what it means to fight for every inch.
DaWeirdo’s come-up started early. By nine years old, he was already building his brand and eventually launched the Stop Teen Violence Music Tour, performing across Chicago schools with a mission of hope and healing. His national spotlight moment came on BET’s 106 & Park with Lovandre, and he hasn’t slowed down since.
Now, as co-founder of DAWEIRDO, Inc., he’s pushing boundaries not just as an artist, but as a leader in independent music—focused on digital distribution, artist development, and staying true to self.
“Brothers” is more than a song. It’s a statement. It’s a soundtrack for anyone grinding through adversity, holding it down for their day ones, and daring to be different in a world that demands conformity.
