Young Chop

Tyree Lamar Pittman (born November 14, 1993), better known by his stage name Young Chop, is an American record producer, rapper, and songwriter. He is best known for producing drill hip hop music, and for producing many of Chief Keef's early hits, including "I Don't Like", "Love Sosa", and "3Hunna".

Life and career Pittman grew up in the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. Pittman started making beats when he was 11 years old with the help of his cousin, although he was initially a rapper. He met Chief Keef on Facebook and went on to produce many of his songs. Chief Keef's Back From The Dead was officially the first mixtape he produced. Pittman started his own independent label called Chop Squad. He also started a website, SoundKitWiz.com, an online retail music production website.

Controversy In 2012, Pittman was displeased with Kanye West's remix of "I Don't Like" and threatened to sue him. The matter was resolved in the same year, though West's artist, Pusha T, would diss Pittman on a separate record.

In April 2020, Pittman uploaded a video on Instagram of him firing shots outside his house after people outside were calling his name. In 2020, Pittman entered into a feud with Atlanta-based rapper 21 Savage, eventually streaming himself on Instagram Live while in an Uber in Atlanta looking for Savage.

On April 16, 2020, Pittman was arrested in Gwinnett County, Georgia for violating his probation. He was also charged with aggravated cruelty to animals after allegedly starving his dog to death in February 2020. In 2024, while in jail, he was involved in a fight. Young Chop was recently released from incarceration.
