Young Chop was born “Tyree Pittman” on November 14, 1993 in Chicago, Illinois. He is a rap record producer, and is currently signed to Glory Boyz Entertainment and Warner Bros. Records. Young Chop started producing beats at the early age of 11 with the help of his cousin. While in High School he met with Chicago rapper Chief Keef and started producing beats for him, he is often credited for helping launch Chief Keef’s career. Chop has a production group called ‘BandKamp’ which features beta-makers such as CTC Reaper, Paris Bueller, 12 Hunna, Smylez, C-Sick, and Poo Mack. Young Chop’s status as a prominent beat maker is the result of producing beats for some of Chief Keef’s most popular songs such as “Love Sosa”, “I Don’t Like”, and “3Hunna”.

Kanye West and Pusha T Beef

After Chief Keef released his hit song “I Don’t Like” which was produced by Young Chop, Kanye West decided to make a remix of the popular hip hop song which featured Pusha T, Jadakiss, Big Sean, and Chief Keef. Young Chop took offense to Kanye West’s remix due to the fact Kanye West remixed his beat without his approval, and claims he would have liked for Kanye West to at least credit him for his work. He would later appear in an interview admitting that Kanye West reached out to him and any problems they had, was resolved. Though the beef with Kanye West was squashed, Pusha T released a song called “Exodus 23:1” which was a diss song aimed toward multiple artists such as Lil Wayne, Drake, and Young Chop. In the song Pusha T took aim at Chop with the line “You can keep yo beats n*gga/ we much rather share your b*tch/ ni*, b*tch n*gga”. The diss from Kanye West’s artist came as a surprise to Chop because he had already squashed his beef with Kanye West, and said on an interview that if Pusha T has any problems with him he should contact him. In 2013, Young Chop was the producer for Pusha T’s ‘Blocka’ song which signaled that they have ended their beef.
