Chief Keef aka Keith Farrelle Cozart, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Born in Chicago, his mother was only 16 at the time of his birth and he was estranged from his father so his legal guardian was his grandmother, whom he lived with on the South Side of the city. He started rapping at the age of 5 and used his grandmother’s karaoke machine to record it. He dropped out of high school when he was 15 before he dedicated his time to his rap career. It led to local popularity and success around 2011. His early song “I Don’t Like” became a hit in Chicago and caught the attention of Kanye West which led to Yeezy making a remix of the song with other rappers Pusha T, Jadakiss and Big Sean. He eventually went on to sign with Interscope Records shortly after and released his debut studio album Finally Rich in Dec. 2012. The album featured many prominent rappers such as 50 Cent, Wiz Khalifa, Young Jeezy and Rick Ross. Scroll through the gallery above to see more pics of him.
