He’s collaborated with artists such as Jin Gates, Sur Fresh, Iceberg Slim, and Multi Platinum, Grammy nominated producer Jimi Kendrix. He’s often known for his lyrics, delivery and catchy hooks. At the age of 22 he won a talent show in Queens, NY where the winner took home two thousand dollars in cash. This is when he knew he had what it takes to make it. He came to prominence in 2015 with his first single “Bad And You Know It”, which led to getting him lots of recognition in the music industry. He continued gaining traction as he then released songs such as “More Than Friends” in 2017, another big push for his career as it got him noticed by Rich Dollaz. The young artist appeared on Love & Hip Hop season 8 and on the cover of Elegant Hoodness Magazine. As things were coming together it seems like they actually took a turn when his grandfather passed away in 2018. He would come in and out of the music scene for the next few years, mainly staying in the shadows as he continued to build his network from New York to Los Angeles. He made sure to stay tapped in with Nipsey Hussle’s All Money In crew on the west coast, and with Jin Gates on the east. Finally in 2021 he released “Shes A Baddie” coming back on the scene revamped with a new image, sound and name. He then landed a placement on MLB The Show 23 with his single “This My Lifestyle”, which he released in 2021
