Early life

Mario Diamond-Judah Douglas was born on December 6, 1999, in Flint, Michigan, but grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. [7]

Career

Judah uploaded his debut single "Crush" to SoundCloud on June 19, 2020. [8] This was followed by the release of "Die Very Rough", which went viral on many different social media platforms in September. [9] After the corresponding music video was released, it went viral on Twitter and several memes of the song were created comparing Judah's vocal style and lyrics similar to a Disney villain. [10] [11] In October, Judah performed at Rolling Loud in 2020, which helped increase his audience. That same month, he released a cover of DaBaby's "Rockstar". [12] On November 30, Judah flippantly announced on Instagram that he would be releasing American rapper Playboi Carti's second studio album Whole Lotta Red "himself" due to frustrations with the rapper not releasing it. [1] He also announced the date of December 6, giving Carti one week to release it himself. [13] Judah ended up making an EP with the title Whole Lotta Red, where he parodies the mumble rap sound and on December 6, Judah released "Bih Yah", the lead single from the project, to a positive reception from fans. [14] The first half of Whole Lotta Red was released as an EP on December 11. [15] [16] Billboard and Google ranked the song "Die Very Rough" at number 75 on their list of the Top 100 Hummed Songs of 2020 in the United States. [17] The song also reached the top of Spotify's Global Viral 50 chart dated October 15, 2020. [18] His next single in collaboration with the rapper Tes X, called "It's Time To Rock" was released on 28th January of 2021. After 6 months of absence, his single "Remember Your Name" was released on 10th September, 2021, with the music video on his YouTube channel same day. After that, his only release was few months later, on January 28th, 2022, which was a single called "Afraid of Love". All of three singles later became a part of an unknown project. On May 13th, 2022, the project's 13-song track list was leaked in its entirety, including the aforementioned singles. As of March 2024, it is still unknown when the album is expected to release [19]

In February 2024, after a series of snippets were posted on his Instagram account through 2023, two years after his previous release, Judah released his second EP called Endure. It was also revealed that Judah signed to Universal Music Group, after a complicated deal with Atlantic Records. [20]

Artistry

Judah's music style has been described as a rap rock [21] and horrorcore [5] blend with unique vibrato [1] [21] [22] vocals. According to Judah, he only recently discovered that he can sing, which led him to pursue rap for himself rather than producing for other artists. [21] [23] [24] He has cited rock bands like Breaking Benjamin, Five Finger Death Punch, and Pantera as his musical influences. [25] Notable fans of Judah are fellow rappers Trippie Redd and Lil Uzi Vert. [26]
