Early life

Graham was born on March 24, 2004, in South Los Angeles, California.[3] Growing up in Los Angeles, Graham stated how his childhood was informed by experiencing both the poorest and richest neighborhoods of Los Angeles.[3] He was raised in a household where his family was heavily into music. Graham's mother was sung and danced, his father rapped, his grandmother went to school in SoCal for music, and his uncle was a final four contestant for The Voice.[3] Additionally, Graham stated how his neighbor, named Uncle Ben, was the uncle of American rapper and producer Kanye West.[3] According to Graham, he began rapping as early as 7, he stated that he began rapping so that he could be "ready for Church Sunday".[3] As he got older, Graham attended middle school and high school in Hollwood.[3]

Career

Graham began making music during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he was a freshman in high school. According to himself, he stated that he began making music following a heartbreak, his earliest works were reminiscent to Young Thug, Lil Wayne, and Future.[3] His earliest collaborations were with his friend Prettifun, after he introduced him and "begged" him to make music that same year.[4] He would further continue to collaborate and connect with other artists, such as midwxst and Skaiwater, after discovering them through fansites and the online messaging app Discord.[3] Following the start of his career, Graham would go on to release a prolific amount of music onto streaming platforms; his debut album, Untalented 3, was released in 2021, and featured artists such as Prettifun, Nimstarr, and Gbk, among others.[3] In December of 2021, Graham had his first ever live performance with yvngxchris alongside others.[3][2]

In November 2025, Graham was featured on Dani Kiyoki's project #LASTYEARDYING, where me made a guest appearance on the track "TATTED UP".[5] That same month, Graham was also featured on Slayr's mixtape, Half Blood, where he made a guest appearance on the track "Wipe Yo Nose". Upon release, he began garnering attention online on social media for his performance.[6] To help maintain his popularity, Graham released his eighth project, Stunt and Die 3, in February 2025. The project contained 18 tracks and had guest appearances from Remi Zerxas, Ninexteen, slayr, and Prettifun.[3][7] On March 24, 2025, the day of his birthday, he released the deluxe edition to Stunt and Die 3, which would feature three new tracks. Writing for Pitchfork, Vivian Medithi described the project's sound as digicore and rage rap, backboned by electric guitar riffs.[2] In December 2025, Graham opened up for Snõõper, alongside Happy Death Men.[3]

Entering 2026, Graham would release his tenth project, STUNT 4 LIFE on his birthday, March 24, 2026.[3][2] It's a 16-track project, which would have a solo appearance from Happy Death Men, and the first half of the fourth installment of the Stunt and Die series.[3] While its predecessor had some influence of punk rock, it was much more prominent in STUNT 4 LIFE.[2][3] According to Graham, his goal was to be more "progressive and unorthodox" compared to his other projects. In a review by Vivian Medithi of Pitchfork, he rated the project a 7 out of 10, writing how the project sees Graham "push the synthesis of rage rap and alt rock to thunderous new extremes" while staying true to his perseverance in the face of adversity.[2] The album's instrumentals were all live-recorded under executive production by Graham and Chris Marek. The second half of the double album will be called STUNT 4 EVER and was described by Graham as taking "more liberties" and having "more collaborations" than STUNT 4 LIFE.[3]
