Keith Farrelle Cozart, known professionally as Chief Keef, was born on August 15, 1995, in Chicago, Illinois. He began recording music as a teenager and gained local attention in the early 2010s through his mixtapes. Cozart is recognized for popularizing the hip-hop subgenre known as drill music for mainstream audiences. His fifth mixtape, “Back from the Dead” (2012), featured the single “I Don’t Like” (featuring Lil Reese), a local hit that also marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100.
Following the success of “I Don’t Like,” Chief Keef signed with Interscope Records. Interscope commercially re-released “I Don’t Like” and its follow-up single, “Love Sosa,” which achieved quintuple platinum certification by the RIAA. These singles led to his debut studio album, “Finally Rich” (2012). This album was met with a moderate critical and commercial response and represented his only major label release. Since then, his independent albums, including “Bang 3” (2015), “4Nem” (2021), and “Almighty So 2” (2024), have appeared on the Billboard 200.
His career also includes notable guest appearances on tracks such as “Bean (Kobe)” by Lil Uzi Vert and “All the Parties” by Drake. Both tracks reached the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2022, Chief Keef established his own label imprint, 43B (Forget Everybody), in partnership with RBC Records and BMG, and signed Lil Gnar as its first artist. He is also known for pioneering the conversational and melodic styles that influenced mumble rap and Soundcloud rap.
