Since then, the rapper has released numerous hit singles and two certified gold albums — The Bigger Artist and most recently Hoodie SZN — indefinitely making his mark as the new sound of New York. In this episode, the bronx rapper details his quiet yet prominent rise to fame and why he doesn’t relish in his success.
