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.

Chief Keef Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep a big bankroll and some designer clothes on
Last year I didn't have shit well now it's over
Keep me some hoes, a lot of hoes here
Last year I cuffed that bitch, well now its over
Now its over, now its over
Last year I didn't have shit, well now its over
Last year I cuffed that bitch, well now its over
Learned how to record myself, well now its over
I'ma kill these beats like a fucking soldier
She gone give me top then I'mma slump her over
And we ain't with the talk boy, we'll slump you over
I be riding Rarris, Rovers
I got lots of guap, you know it
And we ain't with the talk, we blowing
I got guap, just watch me throw it
They say I'm handsome cause my bands up
And I dont hold no ho for ransom
And if we see a opp, we blam him
If he ain't one of ours, then damn him
I keep a big bankroll and some designer clothes on
Last year I didn't have shit well now it's over
Keep me some hoes, a lot of hoes here
Last year I cuffed that bitch, well now its over
Now its over, now its over
Last year I didn't have shit, well now its over
Now its over, now its over
Last year I cuffed that bitch, well now its over
