Just a young boul from the southside of Virginia where the sun always shines and the bitches is fine. But I wanted more so I moved up north to get ahead in life and make something out of nothing...you know progress. We are all afraid to fail sometimes, but once you learn that success and failure go hand in hand you become free.

I been making music since I was like 16 or 17. My first track was to Kanye West's song "Amazing". My homie Naz was big into rap and we used to skateboard together so I tried rapping and that shit was ass but I loved it. Eventually, I just started writing in my spiral notebook and then rapping the songs in the XBOX 360 parties with my home skillets. They told me I could spit so I started going to the studio and put my first mixtape "24 Karatz" out my senior year of high school. Been at it ever since...

I draw my influence from a lot of artists. I have my favorites, but music is so diverse and dynamic that "favorite artist" is a fluid concept to me. I love artists like A$AP Rocky, J.Cole, Big Sean, Drizzy, Weezy, Kid Cudi, Kanye, Meek, Kendrick, Mac Miller, Biggie, and Eminem just to name a few. They're the artist I really grew up on and drew inspiration from earlier in my life. Since then I've branched out so much and begun to genuinely love a plethora like Contemporary Latin hits (Ozuna, Bad Bunny, Wisin Yandel), French rap (Maitre Gims and Ash Kidd), Pop, Salsa, Dancehall, EDM, Contemporary R&B, Trap Music, Alternative rap, and UK rap.
