## Early life

Darrian Jimenez was born on March 8, 2008, in Harlem, New York City. He grew up living with his paternal grandmother. "I was more grown," he recalled. "I was primarily raised by my grandma. I always lived in her houses; whenever I moved, the property belonged to her. I shared meals with her, and if I had lived with my parents, it wouldn't have lasted." Growing up as a rapper, he drew inspirations from Canadian rapper Drake and American rapper Lil Durk.
