Hell To the Chief.

So, who is Chief Keef? Well, the 16-year-old Chi-Town native made headlines after the release of his single “I Don’t Like”. Keef exploded after the release of “I Don’t Like” video went viral in March after reaching 6.5 million views on YouTube. If things couldn’t get any better for the youngster, his name grew even quicker after Kanye West co-signed and remixed his “I Don’t Like”, which was originally produced by a young  Chicago native producer named Young Chop, for a G.O.O.D. Music verison which featured Pusha T, Big Sean, and Jadakiss. With Chief Keef creating such a major buzz, there was a bidding war for the young superstar. The labels fighting over the young act consisted of Young Money/Cash Money, Bad Boy Ent., Grand Hustle Records, and even Def Jam were all in the running. In a interview with MTV’s RapFix and Cash Money CEO Birdman, who spoke on Chief Keef and stated, “He’s out the streets, I think he swagged up and I’m definitely talkin’ to his people and I’d like to see if we could get it to pop, see if I can get him to be down with the team.” In disappointing the Cash Money CEO, Keef made the Executives, Presidents, VP’s at Interscope Records, very happy. In recent news, Chief Keef stated that, he was calling Interscope his home for building his career and future in music. Keef stated his reasoning in signing with Interscope was because they saw eye-to-eye in what direction they wanted to take his career. He also felt that Interscope was a label that housed music of artists like Eminem and 50 cent, and that could be a great place for him to expand as an artist.
