MAF Teeski is Taking LarryLand to the Global Stage with New Single “GWSM”

If you’ve been keeping an ear to the ground in Chicago, you already know the name MAF Teeski. He’s been a staple in the city’s street rap scene for years, but his latest move is signaling a major shift. With the release of his new single “GWSM,” Teeski is proving that he’s not just another drill artist—he’s a versatile force ready for the mainstream.

From “Dirty Cup” to Chicago Staple

Teeski didn’t ease his way into the music game; he jumped in headfirst back in 2018. He first caught everyone’s attention with “Dirty Cup” (featuring JayLilMoney), a track that led straight into his debut mixtape, Double O Family Talk.

But it was really House Arrest the Mixtape that turned him into a household name across the Southside. Representing the 99th & Princeton block of LarryLand, Teeski’s music has always felt authentic because it is authentic. He captures the grit of Chicago life in a way that resonates deeply with people who actually live it.

The Sound: Gritty, Slick, and Refined

You can hear the DNA of modern rap greats in Teeski’s flow. He pulls from the raw energy of NBA Youngboy, the icy composure of Pooh Shiesty, and the melodic storytelling of fellow Chicago legend Lil Durk.

However, what sets Teeski apart is his “Slick” persona. Following the momentum of his Slick SZN mixtape—specifically the fan-favorites “Yea Yea” and “Cater 2 Slick”—he’s developed a style that is uniquely his: a striking voice paired with a natural charm that makes even his hardest bars feel effortless.

Breaking the Mold with “GWSM”

His new single “GWSM” is a pivot. While he’s known for that hard-hitting, “off the porch” energy, this track leans into a more polished, pop-leaning sound. It’s catchy and accessible, yet it never loses that Southside edge that put him on the map. It’s the sound of an artist who knows exactly where he came from but isn’t afraid to see how far he can go.

MAF Teeski is currently one of the most exciting voices coming out of the city. He’s taking the Chicago sound, refining it, and delivering it to the world one bar at a time.

“GWSM” is out now. If you haven’t added it to your rotation yet, you’re already behind.
