## Early life

Henry was born on September 26, 1994, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where his mother was a teacher and his father was a computer technician. He is the youngest of four siblings, three boys and one girl. He lived in West Philadelphia, Southwest Philadelphia and Delaware County, and started producing music during his high school years when he attended Upper Darby High School. Henry was a basketball player. He stopped playing basketball in 2010 after his best friend, Quadir White, lost his life playing football. White and Henry grew up down the street from one another. Because his dad was a trumpet player in a West Philly High School band, Henry was introduced to music at a young age. In grade school, he started playing the clarinet. Much of Henry's childhood was spent in Southwest Philly with his cousin Nasir and his brother B-Jones. In West Philadelphia, Henry learned musical production through B-Jones, who had taught him to use the Fruity Loops software at the age of 17. A year later, he collaborated with a street rapper named Kur on a project, which he described as his debut as a professional.

## Career

He started working with local rapper Kur who introduced him to another local artist Lil Uzi Vert. Henry had produced a song by Kur featuring Lil Uzi called "I Don't Give a Fuck", which led to constant collaborations between Henry and Lil Uzi. Both Henry and Charlie Heat co-produced Uzi's debut project The Real Uzi. His first official hit came with "Money Longer" off Uzi's project Lil Uzi vs The World, which has since gone double platinum. Henry also produced the songs "Canadian Goose", and "Hi Roller" off the project. XXL and HotNewHipHop both listed Henry as a top 30 producer of 2016. Henry then went on to produce three more tracks off Uzi's next project The Perfect LUV Tape, which includes "Do What I Want", "Ghetto Flowers", and "Original Uzi". In 2018, Henry went gold with the Playboi Carti track "Shoota" featuring Lil Uzi Vert. He also went gold with Meek Mill's Championships by producing the track "Almost Slipped". He is responsible for four tracks off Uzi's follow up tape Luv is Rage 2, which went platinum. The Fader described his production style as "hurls songs forward, their momentum deftly guided by his wickedly weird and winding melodies, and drums that at once skitter across and barrel down your insides." Henry cites Lex Luger as an influence to this musical work.
