What is Chief Keef career?
Keef rose to prominence as a 16-year-old with mixtapes like “The Glory Road” and “Bang.” He began uploading tunes to his YouTube account after being thrown under house arrest for a variety of legal difficulties. “I Don’t Like,” one of these tracks, became a massive smash and helped to launch the new rap style known as “Drill.” Kanye West remixed the song alongside Jadakiss, Big Sean, and Pusha T, propelling Chief Keef to even greater popularity.
Following this triumph, Chief Keef became a sought-after artist, with numerous record labels vying for his signature. He chose to negotiate a lucrative contract with Interscope Records and later released his debut studio album, “Finally Rich.” His song “Love Sosa” was a big smash in 2012. In 2013, he worked with Kanye West on the song “Hold My Liquor,” and produced two mixtapes that received mostly unfavorable reviews, albeit “Almighty So” featured the odd success like “Nice.”
Chief Keef admitted to a lack of quality in his recent releases and blamed it on drug addiction problems. Many people criticized Interscope’s choice to dismiss Sosa in 2014. Keef, on the other hand, continued to release mixtapes like “Back From The Dead 2” on his own, and he produced the majority of the tracks on this album.
Following the death of Sosa’s associate Marvin Carr and a 13-month-old baby in a shooting, Chief Keef took a stand against gang violence and organized a free charity concert in his honor. Due to outstanding arrest warrants for Keef, he appeared at the concert via hologram. However, officials shut down the generator that powered the hologram, fearing that the concert would incite further violence.
Keef released fewer and fewer mixtapes and recordings during the next few years. He even announced his retirement in 2016. He would, however, continue to cooperate with a number of high-profile musicians, and in 2019, he announced plans to release “Almighty So 2.” In 2019, he also worked on the Lil Uzi Vert song “Chrome Heart Tags.”
