Bio
He was born in 1995 and feels very young as of now, but the rapper jokes that he has a middle life crisis. If you measure his life in hit music albums – he has already reached his maturity. A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is responsible for three studio song sets, and each of them enjoyed great commercial success.

He attended DeWitt Clinton High School in his native Bronx but then had to leave it because of his passion for smoking the weed. His parents decided to punish the boy, that’s why they sent him to Florida to be far from his company, which influenced him in a bad way. They locked him in the house, he didn’t even go to school. That was a time for Artist to think, to write and to make important decisions. In December 2014 he crossed his ways with the producer Myster Whyte and they recorded his first song “Temporary”.
Then during four-five years he has fulfilled the American dream and made a rapid rise from the local occasional performer to the internationally popular music artist, who competes for the leading position with Justin Bieber and Billie Eilish. His latest as of 2020 album “Artist 2.0” occupied the rightful place in US Top 10 albums chart.
