Bio
Keith Farrelle Cozart, who also goes by the name “Sosa”, was born in 1995. His mother was just 15 years old when she had him. He was about four years old when his mom gave birth to his half-sister Kierra Cozart. Many years later his half-brother DJ was born.
He started rapping at five years old. At the age of 13, he began to record his self-written songs. He became locally famous in his teens, and in 2011 his mixtapes “The Glory Road” and “Bang” became known all over the world. In 2012 he released the track, which made him popular – “I Don’t Like”. The single of the Chicago-based rapper reached the 73rd position in Billboard chart. Chief Keef’s talent was noticed and valued by the cult modern rapper Kanye West. That success opened lots of new opportunities in front of Chief Keef. Lots of record labels started chasing him. In early 2013 he signed the multi-million deal with Interscope Records. Through the label he released the debut album “Finally Rich”, but then Interscope canceled their deal, using their right to stop any collaboration with the rapper if he won’t sell 250, 000 copies of his disk within the first week after release (as it was defined in their deal). “Finally Rich” was bought just 50,000 times during the first week.

Each lover of hip hop culture knows that the conflict between 6ix9ine, the representative of the New York rapping community, and Chief Keef, the rapper from Chicago, was very hot. Their feud started from the girl, named Cuban Doll, the female rapper. She posted the emotional post on Instagram, where she told that her boyfriend Tadoe (Chief Keef’s cousin) beat her. Tekashi 6ix9ine, who was Cuban Doll’s boyfriend previously, stood up for her. That caused the altercation on FaceTime between Tekashi and Tadoe. Later Chief Keef and Trippie Redd joined the beef.
In his teens Chief Keef formed his hip hop style (the rapper performs in the rap subgenre “drill”), being influenced by such legendary artists as Playboi Carti, Lil Pump and Lil Uzi Vert.
