Hailing from the drill music scene, he is best known for his guest appearance on Chief Keef’s 2012 single “I Don’t Like”, which peaked at number 73 on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut mixtape, Don’t Like (2012), was followed by three extended plays, including the collaborative project with Lil Durk, Supa Vultures (2017).
Taylor was convicted of aggravated assault after he was found guilty of strangling his girlfriend in March 2022. In October 2024, he was sentenced to five years in prison. He is currently incarcerated at Garza West Unit in Texas; he is set for release in February 2029 and will be eligible for parole in 2026.

Taylor was raised in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago to a large family. During his formative years growing up in a notorious 16-story high-rise housing project called the “Calumet Buildings”, he became affiliated with the Black Disciples gang as early as age five, becoming a member by his preteens after relocating to “64th and Normal” in Englewood, where he became close friends with gang member Lil Durk.
