His career wasn’t secret for long after his first song became a hit, landing him a deal with Interscope records in 2016.
In November, he had told fans he was working on a new album, a follow-up to 2019’s Hi-Hats & Heartaches.
He revealed in the summer that the record was delayed due to him catching coronavirus, as he tweeted: ‘Just took a covid test and my results came back positive.
‘I’m str8 just a pretty bad headache. I’m a healthy dood tho so I should b fine. Unfortunately this will put a delay on the album thx for rockin w me y’all.’
