Life and career

Devante McCreary was born on August 31, 1998 [1] in Port Salerno, Florida, where he was also raised. [2] His father works as a truck driver and he has one brother named Tory, whom McCreary has stated inspired him to pursue music. [3] He began rapping in 2019 as BossMan Dlow before briefly serving time in county jail on charges of selling and possessing cocaine. [4] His music first gained popularity in Tallahassee before spreading to other parts of Florida. [5]

BossMan Dlow released his debut mixtape Too Slippery in January 2023, which gained traction on TikTok. He signed a record deal with Alamo Records in the summer of 2023, who re-released Too Slippery as 2 Slippery in December 2023. [6] [2] [5]

His single "Get in with Me", originally performed as a freestyle on the Jacksonville–based series Kreepin Through the Streetz, was released through Alamo Records in January 2024. It soon became popular on Instagram and TikTok—particularly due to a feud between Rick Ross's ex-partner, Tia Kemp, and his daughter, Toie Roberts, during which Kemp posted a video using the song—and subsequently debuted on Billboard 's Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts the following month. [7] [8] It peaked at number 49 on the Hot 100 after spending five weeks on the chart. [5] His single "Mr Pot Scraper" was released in February of that year and also became popular. [9] BossMan Dlow's third mixtape, Mr Beat the Road , was released on March 15, 2024, with "Get in with Me", "Mr Pot Scraper", and "Piss Me Off" as its singles. [10] [11] [12] A remix of his song "Finesse", from his mixtape 2 Slippery, with rapper GloRilla was released later that month. [13] In August 2024, Dlow featured on Ciara's single "Run It Up". [14] [15]

Musical style

BossMan Dlow has listed Wiz Khalifa, Babyface Ray, Yo Gotti, Jeezy, Lil Wayne, Plies, and Future as his musical influences. [4] He has described his songs as "motivation music". [16] Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork wrote that his "dope-dealing motivation rap" was backed by "Michigan-meets-the-South party beats". [11] For Uproxx, Aaron Williams wrote that BossMan Dlow had a "choppy, unconventional delivery and [a] Florida twang" in his raps. [6] Joey Ech of XXL wrote that BossMan Dlow had "impeccable swagger, [a] conversational cadence and [a] booming baritone voice". [4]
