"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]
