All it takes is one glimpse at Boosie Badazz’s career to tell you that he’s a driven man on a mission. Whether he’s battling it out in the music industry to become one of the top rappers in the game or struggling with his everyday battle with Diabetes, there ain’t no rest for this wicked rapper who’s passionate and dedicated to his craft. This American singer, songwriter, and actor have been rapping since the 1990s where he got his start as a member of the hip-hop collective but he eventually branched out onto his own to pursue a solo career in the 2000s. It hasn’t always been easy for Boosie and he once spent five years behind bars for a bunch of charges, he’s also managed to release seven solo studio albums as well as over 40 mixtapes, making him far more prolific than most people who have spent nearly half a decade locked-up.

Anyone who knows me and my story knows that Jim Carrey was the first-ever Before They Were Famous video I made back in mom's basement - so hearing that really put a smile on my face.

After Saltbae would grab the world's undivided attention in 2017 when he sprinkled salt on a steak.

After Saltbae would be immortalized in memes, become a Halloween costume, and change the way people react when one asks for a touch of salt. It's been a wild week for Salt Bae and the most internet attention he's received all at once since the world was first introduced to him back in 2017. Back in those days little was known about the chef, turned franchise owner multi-millionaire. All we knew was that this man loved meat and looked like he was having a lot of fun preparing it. We now know he's balling out control with restaurants in Dubai, Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Greece, Miami, New York, and Boston.

Before Joji would find fame on YouTube as a number of different comedic characters including Filthy Frank, Chin Chin, and Pink Guy. Before Joji would reintroduce himself to the world as himself in 2014 and end his comedy career three years later in 2017. Before Joji would drop his highly-anticipated second studio album, “Nectar” with singles like “Daylight” featuring Diplo, “Gimme Love” and "Pretty Boy" featuring Lil Yachty. The artist is formerly known as Filthy Frank and nowadays better recognized as singer/songwriter, Joji, who hasn’t exactly had a career that you’d refer to as a straight trajectory. He started his career off as a gross-out comic portraying characters that were decidedly nothing like his real-life self on YouTube channels TVFilthyFrank and DizastaMusic. But Joji quickly grew tired of his comedic content and decided to make a career change, focusing instead on making music, something that had always been a passion of his. In other words, the end of Filthy Frank’s career is a far cry away from the end of Joji’s – and now he’s finally creating the type of content that more fully articulates who he is as an artist... But hey -- that doesn’t mean that going back to take a look at his past will be any less fun.
