Career
Musical beginnings
Akers grew up in Roanoke, Virginia, but moved with his mother to North Carolina when he was nine and began constructing his own beats and samples on computer software and drum machines during middle school.[3] His break came when he was playing Call of Duty with a group of players he didn't know during COVID-19 while his music played in the background: one of the other players was producer Cardo Got Wings, who sent a comment that he loved the beats playing in the background.[3] Several months later, Cardo Got Wings sent some ideas for Baby Keem, and wanted Akers to create some productions, which were accepted, resulting in inclusion on Baby Keem debut album The Melodic Blue.[3]
GNX
In 2024, Akers contributed to Kendrick Lamar's studio album GNX, writing and/or producing "Luther", "Squabble Up", and "Peekaboo". For the week of May 17, 2025, Akers peaked in the Top 10 of the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Producers, R&B/Hip-Hop Songwriters, Rap Songwriters, and Rap Producers charts, while reaching the Top 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 Producers list.[4]
