The young rapper specialized in the Trap style and was known for his relaxed delivery and signature eye patch -- the result of another shooting three years ago.
He was signed to Atlanta-based label Grand Hustle Records by founder T.I. and made noise on the Hustle Gang's G.D.O.D. compilation, later releasing the buzz-grabbing mixtape Baby Jesus over the summer. In recent months he has dropped videos for tracks including "Let Me Find Out" featuring T.I. and Juicy J, "Trap Muzik" and "2 Many," featuring Rich Homie Quan.
