Early life
According to Alexander, he started his entertainment career on the New York City Subway performing "Showtime" dance routines.

After releasing the singles "Blixky" and "Suburban" in 2016, Alexander received the attention from mainstream Hip Hop, eventually joining Kodak Black's Florida-based label, and Atlantic subsidiary, Sniper Gang in 2018.
