He is best known for his guest appearance on NLE Choppa's 2022 single "Do It Again", which received gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and entered the Billboard Hot 100.

Early life
He was born on August 12, 2000.[7][8] Young was a football player during his high school years. He believed the sports would be "his lane". Originally from Philadelphia, he temporarily moved to Los Angeles due to academic issues and altercations. Later, he returned to Philadelphia where he discovered that his prolonged absence had barred him from returning to class. This led to his separation from football.[4]
Career
In 2019, he became known for his single "Big Bag", which landed him a joint venture recording contract signing with record labels
