2014–2016: Early work
Pineiro started to pursue music due to boredom while in high school, beginning as a producer. As many others at the time, he published his instrumentals on SoundCloud. Due to the lack of people buying his produced instrumentals, Pineiro began to rap and influenced his friend and collaborator Lil Pump to begin rapping as well.[14][15] Pineiro's first song was released on SoundCloud in 2015, but he quickly deleted it due to its lack of quality, soon uploading his second song, "Live Off a Lick", featuring Florida native rapper XXXTentacion.[16] Pineiro eventually dropped out of high school due to his budding music career.[14]
