Keef's album, Finally Rich, reached No 2 in the US rap charts and has sold almost 100,000 copies. Since March, Chief Keef’s new video, I Don’t Like has had over 7.3 million YouTube views. Besides, Berkson argued, by firing a rifle on private property, for a promotional video clip, he was not violating the spirit of the probation order. When news of his 2011 arrest hit the streets his then unknown anthems Bang 3HUNNA and I Don’t Like became the soundtrack of the city where the murder rate has increased 38 percent in the past six months. Dennis Berkson, Keef's attorney, conceded the video was "stupid" but claimed his client was just obeying the adults around him. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that prosecutors cited the Pitchfork video as the main reason for his arrest. CHICAGO Before Chief Keef got a shot at hitting it big in the rap game, the Englewood teen star was the target of shots bullets fired at him by police that missed, Chicago. "This concept was rushed and never should have happened," said editor-in-chief Mark Richardson. I’d do the collab only after I get that Keef feature.

In August, Kanye defended Keef and the rise of drill music, claiming the young rapper changed the course of modern rap.
He also filmed a Selector video for the music website Pitchfork, answering their questions at a gun range in New York. Instead of earning his diploma Keef spent time in California and released his debut album. After being hailed by underground hip-hop fans and even Kanye West, the rapper became one of the year's most talked-about MCs. Unfortunately, Keef's 2012 did not consist of a quiet return to school. Under the terms of the probation, he was ordered to stay away from guns, drugs and gang members, as well as to complete a GED diploma – a high-school equivalency qualification. He was subsequently charged and sentenced to 18 months' probation. Chief Keef, whose real name is Keith Cozart, came close to being shot in December 2011, after he brandished a handgun at Chicago police officers.
