Bang 3 is the second studio album by American rapper Chief Keef.[1] The LP is a double album, serving as the third installment of Chief Keef's Bang trilogy. It was leaked online on August 1, 2015. Soon after the album was released officially on iTunes on August 3, 2015, through the label FilmOn Music. The second part of the album was released on September 18, 2015, as well as the double disc being available for purchase in stores. The album features guest appearances from ASAP Rocky, Mac Miller, Lil B and Jenn Em.
Since the album was originally slated for a December 2013 release, it was delayed several times, with numerous release dates falling through or never materializing. After Keef was dropped from Interscope, who owns the album name and its songs, it was unknown whether or not the album would ever be released.
In June 2015, Keef announced that the album would be released July 3, by FilmOnTV and Greek billionaire Alki David. The album was then pushed back to July 14, with "Ain't Missing You," the first post-Interscope single, released on the July 3, instead. However, the album was once again pushed back to August 18, until being released 2 weeks early on August 1. This was followed by Chief Keef announcing the second part of the album being released on August 18, only to be delayed again to September 18, while instead only releasing the single "Bouncin".
