It goes above and beyond music. WORL aims to lift up his community and the world at large.

Hailing from the 4 Seasons Neighborhood in Southeast Atlanta, he casually picked up a microphone during his formative years as a hobby. After the shooting of a friend, he started to take his craft seriously, drumming up buzz with his very first single “Feelings” before eventually unleashing a powerful body of work entitled Went Broke From Buying Dreams. Truly kicking it old school, he actually dropped the latter as a physical mixtape—and listeners lined up through the projects to purchase a copy from his apartment.
Simultaneously, he used his budding platform to give back at every chance possible. Launching an initiative he dubbed “No Child Left Behind,” he hosted holiday events during Easter and Halloween for at-risk and abandoned youth, going on to claim, “I was left behind, so I don’t want to leave kids in my community behind.”

“If we can get our music across to just one person, they will hopefully feel it in their hearts,” he remarks. “I’m really believing in myself and the people around me. You can hear the pain in my music. It’s real. I’d love it if audiences just want to hear more.”
