Who the f**k is Cheif Keef?

A name cropping up a lot lately, and I keep on hearing it, 'Chief Keef', but who is this dude? A dude who it has just today/yesterday (17/06/12) been confirmed as the latest act to sign with Interscope records.  A man who quite, quite recently was a part of a three label tug of war, with Atlantic, CTE, & Cash Money all keen to sign him.  I thought he might have been signed to Good Music, but as i have just learned is that he (Chief Keef) made this song (I don't like) & because Kanye West liked it so much he decided to turn it into a Good Music posse cut alongside Pusha T, Big Sean & Jadakiss.

Indeed, impressive, but the question still arises, maybe one of the biggest at the moment, to all hip hop fans,
Who is Chief Keef?
-

Well, according to my research his name is John Forge, he's from Chicago, and at this time of writing (17/6/12) is 17, and about him? Biographic info on this Chief Keef character at current is scarce, but I will write what I know to help answer one of googles current most asked questions -
Who the f**k is Chief Keef?

I will start with the first thing i found out about him, last year he was according to this article, "Hip Hop's Next Big Thing on House Arrest at His Grandmothers House", on House Arrest at his Grandmothers House.  Which I won't go into too much & f**k it if you really want to know about Chief Keef click on the highlighted link above,  but if you can't be bothered, or you are just a fan of my writing I will continue.  To tell you all i know about Chief Keith Keef.

Okay so according to this article Keef made a song called 'Bang' which got at the time, something, like 400 K views on YOUTUBE.  He had a mixtape & a growing following across Chicago.  His rise to fame came though when a video was released on website www.WorldStarHipHop.com in January of a little kid rapping a long to the track 'Aimed at You'.  Comments quickly followed like the one above, Who The F**k is Chief Keef?

So not the first time this questions been asked, but alike the first time - a lot of people are again checking Keef out on Youtube.  Just like rappers Lil B & Soulja Boy who after hearing of Keith Keef recorded remixes of his tracks 'Bang' & '3 Hunna',   Just like Kanye West who surprisingly didn't try to sign Keef, alike Soulja Boy, after remixing 'I don't like' but that is now and this is then which i'm on about.  When Keef started recording with Japanese Producer DJ Kenn, & rhyme partner Fredo Santana.  Also when Keef was donned the name Keef, possibly by believe it or not his uncle Keith, and Keef was handing out his mixtapes, to any tom, dick or harry at any School, El Station, bus stop or party.  Assumingly something that only made the young rapper bigger & bigger.  So big that today he is signed to Interscope & has a publishing deal with Dr Dre, but then I don't think i can say anymore - Chief Keef has been working his ass off ever since.  So who is Chief Keef? check him out in the posted Youtube videos below & his latest mixtape ' Back from the Dead'.
