"3HunnaK" is a 2012 song by Chicago rapper Joseph J. Coleman, released under the name Lil JoJo. The song is a response to "3Hunna" by Chief Keef, which taunted Coleman's gang the Gangster Disciples.[1] The song gained attention for the repeated acronym "BDK" which stood for "Black Disciple Killer," referencing a rival gang.[2]
History
[edit]
"3HunnaK" was written in response to the growing popularity of Chief Keef and Lil Durk during heightened tensions in a Chicago gang war between the Black Disciples and the Gangster Disciples. Coleman was a member of the latter.[3] The song was in the drill music genre.[4] The song and its video earned notice in the Chicago rap scene,[5] and used some musical elements from Chief Keef's song "Everyday".[6] "3HunnaK" was widely considered to be a diss track against the Black Disciples.[7]
The song also referenced Coleman's faction of the Gangster Disciples, known as Bricksquad 069.[7] Its music video showed Coleman and members of his clique with firearms.[8] The music video and the surrounding controversy are believed to have contributed to Coleman's murder in September 2012.[9] "3HunnaK" was referenced in the 2013 response track "Dis Ain't What U Want" by Lil Durk.[10]
