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

Take a nigga bitch in a Volkswagen Beetle
Put some dragon breath on you, now you lookin' see through
I got problems I don't wanna fix but I need to, ayy
Folks in the jail cell, probably doin' push-ups
Cup up in my hand, liftin' up, I call it lean-ups
Consider that my bitch if I fuck with her for three-plus
Say she wanna kick it with me, I'm just like FIFA
Told her, "stay away from my ice," it might freeze her
Told her "stick around," never know, I might need her
Think I beat my wife 'cause I wear a wifebeater
Take a nigga bitch in a Volkswagen Beetle
Put some dragon breath on you, now you lookin' see through
I got problems, I don't wanna fix but I need to
When you broke who fuckin' care? When you rich they need you
Drop in my gut, I got drop in my pee too
You don't smoke or drink, oh, your fuckin' pee, see through?
My piss, need goggles and telescopes to see through
I smell some fish, I'll turn that shit to sea food
Shoes are Moncler and that's leather and see through
Chief So was bool in the wiiic like a Regal
Chief So was bool on the front like a prostitute
Chief So was bool on the six, we'll pop at you
Chief So was bool on the Lam' like a vegan
Chief So was gangbangin', slangin' and slingin'
Chief So had Beamers, Mercedes and Demons
Chief So wore granny clothes, now he the cleanest
In "See Through," Chief Keef shares some of his unique perspectives on life as a successful rapper dealing with both personal issues and the perception of others. The opening lines of the song allude to the possibility that these issues are informed by his past and possibly present dealings with individuals involved in criminal activity. The song transitions to Chief Keef's reflection on his love life. He describes how he would catch a girl's heart by taking her from a Volkswagen Beetle and the use of the term “dragon breath” represents his Rolex's diamonds. Although he has reservations about getting too close to someone, he recognizes the potential for a valuable relationship. Later in the song, Chief Keef admits that while he has problems, he is reluctant to seek out help or fix them because they are part of his identity. Despite his ambivalence, he recognizes that people depend on him, and he feels the weight of his responsibility. This seems to prompt a resolution as he concludes with a reference to his success, acknowledging that regardless of his problems, people rely on him. He even shares personal information that at a certain moment in time, he had drop in his gut and urine, which he covers with addictions.
