A Cleveland rapper who found his lane with Travis Barker's guitar-driven production.
For the rap side, check out 'Wild Boy Remix' with all those features. For the newer sound, 'more than life' with glaive gives you a good sense of where he's at now.
He's one of those artists who actually pulled off the hip-hop to pop-punk pivot without it feeling like a gimmick. The 2020 album 'Tickets to My Downfall' with Barker gave him a whole new sound, and songs like 'more than life' with glaive show he's still mixing it up. That early mixtape 'Lace Up' got him noticed, but it's the later stuff that made people pay attention.
He started with underground rap battles in Cleveland before 'Lace Up' brought wider attention in 2012. The albums moved from hip-hop on 'General Admission' to the pop-rock of 'Tickets to My Downfall' and 'Mainstream Sellout', with Travis Barker's production shaping that shift.
