A rapper whose music and advocacy grew from the streets and the system.
For a quick sense of his sound, check out 'Froze' or the earlier 'Dreamchasers' mixtape. They frame the mix of collaboration and grit he's carried from the start.
His 2011 mixtape 'Dreamchasers' put him on the map, and tracks like 'Froze' with Nicki Minaj and Lil Uzi Vert show how he works with big names without losing his own voice. The probation violation that sent him to prison in 2015 sharpened his focus on criminal justice reform, which threads through his later music. He's kept a steady hand on themes of resilience and real-life stakes since his debut album 'Dreams & Nightmares' in 2012.
He came up in Philadelphia's rap scene in the late 2000s, got signed to Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group after 'Dreamchasers', and has released albums like 'Wins & Losses' in 2017. The prison stint in 2015 shifted some of his energy toward advocacy, but he's never stopped putting out music.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
