Lil Keed shocked the music industry and his fans last year with his sudden death, but his friends and family made a big move to honor his legacy as they recently released his first-ever posthumous album; check out below how they made it possible.
In a conversation with Complex, his closest friends and family members reveal that the musician would often make contact with them and they feel that "he's still here."
The rapper's mother, Tonnie Woods-Reed, revealed her granddaughter would tell her that her father wanted to say that he loves and misses her.
On the other hand, his manager Zoe Dupree said they came home one day with all the obituary, records, and everything he owned on the floor.
The team decided to release Lil Keed's new album on March 17, the day of his supposed 25th birthday. Aside from the recent "Keed Talk to 'Em 2" project, they're planning to drop a documentary and posthumous mixtape.
The manager revealed the new album is a result of the rapper's "blood sweat and tears" and even though he already passed away, this would be a big deal for his closest pals as it could comfort them.

Lil Keed Left Specific Instructions for his Album
Elsewhere in the interview, the outlet noted that the musician, who died of a rare white blood cell complication called eosinophilia, had already planned the album before his passing as his mother found a note in the pocket of his jeans.
On the sticky note, there were instructions about what the album would look like, its tracklist, and more information.
"He left us specific instructions. All the stuff that you're seeing is stuff that he already had set for it," she said.
The hip-hop star also left the music on mobile devices and hard drives that were labeled from the years 2018 to 2022, hinting that the music was recorded in that timeframe.
Lil Keed's New Album Was a Group Effort
Right after he passed away, his team members gathered together and sort all the music he had left, leading them to spend over six hours a day just listening to the songs and forwarding them to his record label, 300 Records.
Then finally, they were able to produce an album made possible by the people who loved him dearly.
"Everybody played a part-from the label, family, friends, producers, DJs," Zoe Dupree added.
Lil Keem's posthumous project, "Keed Talk to 'Em 2" is now available for streaming on major music platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer Music, and many more.
