He first gained attention with the Gold-certified single “NOSTYLIST,” (2022) which introduced his sound to a wider audience. He then cemented his status with the critically acclaimed project If Looks Could Kill (2023), which hit No. 1 on Apple Music within 24 hours, amassed nearly 10 million Spotify streams, and earned him recognition as one of hip-hop’s “Artists to Watch” (Rolling Stone, Complex, Billboard, People, and more). He expanded his discography with LOVE LAST FOREVER (2024), which debuted on Spotify’s Top Album charts in the U.S. and globally, earned him his first No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts, and landed a Top 10 spot on the Billboard 200. Now, he continues to grow and is entering his strongest chapter yet, poised to reach new heights with the creative vision that has earned him widespread acclaim.
