He attended Prairie View A&M University as a nursing student with intentions of DJing more. His grades suffered due to his frequent partying and he dropped out by his freshman year.

His album, Wasteland, containing his single "The Mop", was released on December 4, 2020 through Ultra Records via Sony Music and signed by A&R Leigha Healy.
