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.

The lyrics of Chief Keef's "Finally Rich" are about his success and newfound wealth after being released from prison. He is aware that his life has changed due to the money he now has, but he wants to make it clear that his lifestyle has not affected his street origins. Keef raps about his friends and crew, making sure to cater to them first before anybody else. Keef also makes it known that he wouldn't have achieved anything in his career without the support of his fans.
In the chorus, Keef sings that he's 'finally rich', and while that has changed a lot in his life, he still retains his rough edge. He's not someone to mess with, and his life is about making money and staying true to his roots. Keef's ego is evident throughout the song as he boasts about his success and how all the women want to be with him. He also talks about his ability to do anything he wants now that he is wealthy, including buy whatever he desires.
Interestingly, Keef mentions that he is from the O, which is a reference to Englewood, a neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago. The song is packed with references to his home town, including shoutouts to Fredo Santana and Reese Money. The song's lyrics are essential to understanding the life and work of Chief Keef, one of the most important rappers to come out of Chicago in the early 2010s.
