Early life
Quincey White was born on April 21, 1987, in Athens Park, Los Angeles. At a very early age, he became fascinated with music as he grew up listening to the likes of 2Pac, Eminem, Nas & Jadakiss. He attended Inglewood High School and it was around this time that he chose to quit playing basketball and began to seriously pursue a career in rap music after going to the studio with a childhood friend. In 2004, White joined forces with a local figure from Watts, California, named "Geno Cap". Geno Cap, impressed by White's talent, asked the young rapper to join his label, Hoodz Finezt. White was affiliated with the Athens Park Blood gang.[1]
Career
White's lyrical skills and versatility earned him a reputation as a refreshing new rapper. This was evident when he was featured on Compton rapper The Game's Black Wall Street Journal mixtape series in 2006. Following the death of Geno Cap in a car accident, White sought a fresh start, feeling that the negative publicity associated with the Hoodz Finezt name was no longer aligned with his evolving musical direction. In late 2011, after releasing the mixtapes Face of California and The Departure, White began releasing mixtape projects such as The Layover (2012) and The Black Box (2013), gaining increased recognition. Many have praised his skills and predicted his continued success. At 26 years old, White has released several mixtapes. He has collaborated with artists such as Reek da Villian, Yung Berg, Cali Swag District, Nino Brown, Nipsey Hussle, Glasses Malone, Emilio Rojas, and others.
White released his latest mixtape, Never Content, on January 14, 2014. It featured guest appearances from Iamsu!, Nipsey Hussle, Eric Bellinger, Skeme, Rayven Justice, Glasses Malone, Lamar Jay, and more.[2] White was featured on the Blood Money Entertainment compilation, Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf, released on September 16, 2014. XXL also reported that The Game had signed White to the label,[3] but White denied being signed.[4]
