I was born Dieuson Octave on June 11, 1997, in Pompano Beach. My mother, Marcelene Octave, is a Haitian immigrant, and I grew up in the Golden Acres housing project there. In 2021 I named a mixtape for those roots: Haitian Boy Kodak.

Southern hip-hop, trap and gangsta rap. I've been making music since 2009. My mixtape Project Baby came out in December 2013, and "No Flockin" and "Skrt" followed in 2014.

What came after?

Mixtapes like Heart of the Projects, Institution and Lil B.I.G. Pac, then my albums: Painting Pictures in 2017, Dying to Live in 2018, which went to number one on the Billboard 200, Bill Israel, Back for Everything and more since. Sniper Gang is my label and my crew.
