Cozart attended Dulles Elementary School and later Banner High School on Chicago's South Side, which is where he got his career start. In December 2011, he was arrested on a weapons charge (aggravated unlawful use of a weapon) and put under house arrest at his grandmother's home. While under house arrest, Cozart posted several videos to his YouTube account. The attention he received grew in the short time between the release of several mixtapes and several music videos, including "Bang," "3Hunna," and "I Don't Like." After two locally successful mixtapes, "I Don't Like" became a local hit in Chicago. It also caught fellow Chicago rapper Kanye West's attention, and West organized a remix of the song along with rappers Pusha T, Jadakiss, and Big Sean. On July 7, 2012, it was announced that Chief Keef would be performing at the 2012 Lollapalooza music festival.
In the following years, Keef has served up a continuous stream of releases, such as Back From the Dead 2 (2014), Bang 3 (2015), and Thot Breaker (2017). Critics have cited Chief Keef as a major influence on contemporary hip hop through his impact on artists such as Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, Tupac and various collaborations.

In Chief Keef's song Intro, the lyrics speak about a woman who enjoys sex and smoking marijuana to the point of excess. The chorus of the song starts with the repetition of "yeah yeah" and features the line "bang bang" twice, which could be interpreted as a reference to guns or sexual acts. The song then transitions into a verse, where Chief Keef encourages the woman to go and live her life without him attempting to control her actions or decisions. He acknowledges that she may have trust issues, likely stemming from being hurt in the past by someone she thought she had "in her palm," possibly Chief Keef himself.
