It's been confirmed that Chief Keef will be released from the Illinois Youth Center later today, March 14.

One of Keef's people took to Twitter on Wednesday night and revealed the news: "Sosa will be free in less than 24 hours So u no what's up we back on this rap sh*t Just in time 2 flex Ha ha gbe."

Sosa's grandmother recently spoke on his impending release, saying he's been hard on his grind even while behind bars. She also discussed the possibility of the Chi-Town rapper getting baptized once he's out.

"I'm so glad he's coming home because it hurts my soul that he's locked up. Oh, it wears and tears on me," she said. "Keith's got a lot of music. He wrote a lot before he went in, and he wrote a lot while he was gone. He's focusing music ... and he wants to be baptized. [He] talked to me sideways about it, That's his old neighborhood pastor. There's no telling what he told Corey, and if he'll do something different...we'll see what Sunday brings us."

Chief Keef is slated to perform this Saturday, March 16, at Ray Ban's SXSW showcase.
