A Rapper was Born

Black started rapping at a very young age. In fact, he would go to a local trap house while still in elementary school to record music. He and his cousin started their own crew, and rapped in front of older boys. When he first started rapping, Black said, “I was seeing some s**t. Even though I wasn’t doing what I was seeing. They say come up in the trap house and record up in the microphone, and stuff, one computer. But as a kid, they was scared to like, really be under that pressure like that. I was rapping, I was coming every day after school, in a trap house just rapping. I wasn’t sellin’ no drugs–I was just in elementary school – I was just coming to rap. But in my eyes, I’m like ‘damn, out of everybody else, they outchere.’ How they keep themselves up, I wanted to keep up, too. Whatever they mottos is, that became my motto. I looked up to them. Whatever I see them do, I did, too.”

Black states that his style is influenced by rappers like Boosie Badazz and Chief Keef.

In 2015, the young rapper gained more popularity thanks to Drake, who uploaded a video of himself dancing to Black’s song, “Skrt.” In October that year, Kodak Black signed with Atlantic Records, and the following May, he and Lil Uzi Vert announced their national “Parental Advisory Tour,” but Black was a no-show.
