Early life

Tyler Jamal Brown was born on May 31, 1995, in Orlando, Florida. He grew up in Orlando, in a rough neighborhood, and was quoted saying, "I’ve been on my own since I was 14.

He initially supported himself by working at a local Dunkin' Donuts until he was evicted by his mother for criminal behavior. [6]

After arriving in Los Angeles, California, he was discovered by Post Malone and his manager Dre London, who went on to sign him to their record label London Entertainment, in conjunction with Epic Records. [7]

Yaweh's single "Drugs and Pain" was released on November 22, 2017, and was followed by the singles "Wildlife", "Gemini", and "Goals", the latter featuring Preme, all released throughout 2018.

Yaweh confirmed a second album is due to be released sometime in early 2021. [13] [14] [15]

On June 12, 2020, Yaweh released the lead single, "Tommy Lee", which features Post Malone, for his second album, Rager Boy. The track was released on all digital platforms and was followed soon after with an accompanying music video. [16] It became Yaweh's first career Hot 100 entry, debuting at number 65.

[18] A second remix featuring Saint Jhn was released subsequently. [19]

Yaweh was joined by DaBaby on the track "Stuntin' on You", released on July 17, 2020. They both appear in its accompanying music video.
