Editor's note

Chief Keef and Chicago's drill sound

The South Side rapper whose blunt tracks like 'I Don't Like' defined a generation of street rap.

For the uninitiated, start with 'I Don't Like' and 'Love Sosa', they frame everything that followed. The blunt delivery and minimalist production tell the story.

When Chief Keef was 16, 'I Don't Like' with Lil Reese broke through with its stark portrayal of street life. That aggressive, minimalist style became his calling card and helped define Chicago's drill sound. Songs like 'Love Sosa' turned into anthems, delivered with a raw, unadorned approach that connected directly with his audience.

He came up on Chicago's South Side and broke through at 16 with 'I Don't Like.' His 2012 mixtape 'Finally Rich' solidified his position, and he formed the Glo Gang collective with rappers like Fredo Santana and Lil Durk, which became central to Chicago's drill scene.
