Influenced: Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Young Boy Never Broke Again, Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, GloRilla, Lil Yachty, Coi Leray, Key GlockKeith Cozart (born August 15, 1995), better known by his gang name Chief Keef, is an American rapper from Chicago, Illinois. He was formally signed to Interscope Records until he was dropped by the label in 2014, and is the CEO of his own record label, Glo Gang (formally Glory Boyz Entertainment). He is also affiliated with the Chicago street gang Black Disciples.He began his career as a teenager and first gained attention and praise from his community for his mixtapes in the early 2010s. His first local hit, "I Don't Like" (featuring Lil Reese), was released in 2012 and soon entered the Billboard Hot 100, leading to a remix by a high-profile Chicago native, Kanye West. A major-label bidding war then ensued, resulting in him signing with Interscope. His music from this point onward would become credited with popularizing the hip-hop subgenre drill on a mainstream level.After he parted ways with Interscope, he continued self-releasing projects through his Glo Gang label, and achieved further chart success with features on songs by artists including Lil Uzi Vert and Drake.Keef has also been involved with extensive legal troubles during his career, including weapons possession charges, house arrest sentences, and a performance ban imposed by Chicago authorities.

Small Name, Big Ego: Keef has been accused of disrespecting his rap game elders. After Kanye West and his GOOD Music crew remixed Keef's breakout single "I Don't Like," Keef claimed via Twitter that Yeezy "ain't do shit for me." He also stood up 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa for a music video for "Hate Bein' Sober," on which the two aforementioned rappers are featured.

Dissonant Serenity: Most likely what made him famous. Several critics and fans have noticed that in stark contrast to loud, energetic rappers like Waka Flocka Flame and Rick Ross, his music and line delivery have a disturbing and unsettling lack of emotion. Made even more so by the topics he raps about. Possibly Exploited by Keef, as his debut mixtape is titled "Back From The Dead".

Lighter and Softer: "CHIRAQ" is a slow piano ballad with 0 profanity where he even says his daughter told him she admires him. His later songs lack the in-your-face, violent content that his earlier projects had once he left South Side Chicago and moved to Los Angeles once he had enough money to leave that area.
