Devante McCreary (born August 31, 1998), known professionally as BossMan Dlow, is an American rapper. He started rapping while serving time in county jail in 2019 and soon became popular in the Florida rap scene. After releasing the mixtape Too Slippery and its Alamo Records re-release 2 Slippery in 2023, his 2024 breakout single "Get in with Me" became popular on TikTok and Instagram and marked his debut on the Billboard Hot 100.
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]
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". [14] 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]
