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.

Me and my niggas we ballin'
We don't do no talking
I see it, I want it, I bought it
In my closet 'bout 40
Pulling up in our foreigns, (ignorance)
I'm ballin', I'm ballin'
Me and my niggas we ballin'
We don't do no talking
I see it, I want it, I bought it
In my closet 'bout 40
Pulling up in our foreigns
Full of ignorance
You niggas is boring
I'm ballin' like I'm Jordan
Bitches love Kay Kay, she ballin'
Everyday I spend like 40
On my side a .40
So don't run up on me shawty
My money so gorgeous
And my niggas clap guns no orders
Bitches see me they on it
Pulling up in all foreigns
Tats all on my body
Don't make me catch a body
This street shit is my hobby
Wack a fuck nigga like hockey
These hoes love Chief Keef
They say they like my steeze
They say I got everything that a nigga dream
I say that his bitch wanna fuck me
He sneak diss, it's ugly
I ordered the bitch some bubbly
And I got some Henny for me
I say that his bitch wanna fuck me
He sneak diss, it's ugly
I ordered the bitch some bubbly
And I got some Henny for me
Me and my niggas we ballin'

In my closet 'bout 40
Pulling up in our foreigns
Full of ignorance
You niggas is boring
I'm ballin' like I'm Jordan
Give Tadoe the joint he on it
Give Fredo the joint he on it
He could lose his life if he wanna
But we'll take his life if we wanna
300 enormous

Blowing on this good chronic
Boy, I'm feeling like super sonic
Broke niggas make me vomit
Can't do what I do stop trying it
Bitch won't get none of my money
But in her mouth I'm cummin'
Money call, I'm coming
Can't miss that shit for nothing
I say that his bitch wanna cuff me
But she can only suck me
I ain't with the lovey-dovey
That's why all these bitches love me
I say that his bitch wanna fuck me
But she can only suck me
See, I ain't with the lovey-dovey

I put that on my daughter (Kay Kay)
The lyrics of Chief Keef's song Kay Kay are about the rapper's lavish lifestyle and the admiration he receives from women. The song opens with the line "Me and my n*ggas we ballin', we don't do no talking," which establishes the tone for the rest of the song. The chorus repeats the line "I'm ballin' like I'm Jordan," referencing the legendary basketball player Michael Jordan, who was known for his skill on the court and his expensive taste off of it.
In the second verse, Chief Keef talks about women loving him and being willing to spend money on them, but he doesn't want to commit to any of them. He says, "Bitch won't get none of my money, but in her mouth I'm cummin'," emphasizing his desire for physical relationships without any emotional attachment. The song ends with the line "I put that on my daughter (Kay Kay)," which may be a reference to Chief Keef's daughter or a friend's daughter.
The lyrics of Kay Kay suggest that Chief Keef is living a carefree life of excess and indulgence, but it's also clear that he doesn't take it too seriously. He's not overly concerned with his own safety, as evidenced by the lines "He could lose his life if he wanna/ But we'll take his life if we wanna." The overall vibe of the song is one of confidence and swagger, painting a picture of a rapper who is at the top of his game and enjoying every moment of it.
