Chief Keef
Keith Farrelle Cozart (born August 15, 1995), better known by his stage name Chief Keef, is an American rapper and record producer. Born and raised in Chicago's South Side, he began his recording career as a teenager and initially garnered regional attention and praise for his mixtapes in the early 2010s. Cozart is often credited with popularizing the hip hop subgenre drill for mainstream audiences, and is considered a progenitor of the genre. ''Stereogum'' has referred to Cozart as a "modern rap folk hero".His fifth mixtape, ''Back from the Dead'' (2012) spawned the single, "I Don't Like" (featuring Lil Reese), which became a local hit and marked his first entry on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. A bidding war between several major labels resulted in Cozart signing with Interscope Records to re-release the song along with his follow-up single, "Love Sosa", which received quintuple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Both songs led up to his debut studio album, ''Finally Rich'' (2012), which was met with moderate critical and commercial response and served as his only project with Interscope. His following independent studio albums—''Bang 3'' (2015), ''Bang 3, Pt. 2'' (2015), ''4NEM'' (2021), and ''Almighty So 2'' (2024)—have each entered the ''Billboard'' 200. His guest appearances on the songs "Bean (Kobe)" by Lil Uzi Vert and "All the Parties" by Drake have both peaked within the top 40 of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Provided by Wikipedia
