==History==
Makonnen Kamali Sheran was born on April 12, 1989, in South Los Angeles, California, and was named after Makonnen, father of Ras Teferi who was later crowned as Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I. http://www.xxlmag.com/rap-music/2014/08/the-come-up-ilovemakonnen/2/ In an interview, he described himself as mixed with African American, Indian, Irish, Belgian, German and Chinese heritage. http://noisey.vice.com/en_au/blog/makonnen-interview-2014
He later moved to the Atlanta area when he was 13 years old, due to his parents' divorce. There, he witnessed the death of a close friend in his senior year in high school. https://noisey.vice.com/en_au/article/ywb7vv/makonnen-still-loves-you
Makonnen started making songs on his computer and uploading them to MySpace. On this website, he met rising musicians, such as Adele. Makonnen also created a blog, where he would post interviews with musicians such as Lil B and Soulja Boy. https://www.buzzfeed.com/naomizeichner/who-is-ilovemakonnen#436q2cz
After a period under house arrest following the fatal accidental shooting of a friend, he enrolled in a cosmetology school and became a part of a group called Phantom Posse. In January 2012, Makonnen met Mike Will Made It and formed a brief professional relationship with him. https://www.gq.com/entertainment/music/201502/ilovemakonnen
In March 2014, Mike Will Made It replied to Makonnen and brought him to the DTP studios, where he played some of his songs towards Metro Boomin. Metro instantly liked Makonnen and stayed in touch with him. Later, after recording six songs together, Metro brought Sonny Digital and 808 Mafia, who were all unusually impressed with him. Two days later, Makonnen recorded the song, titled "Don't Sell Molly No More" with Sonny Digital, which would later launch his music career. http://www.xxlmag.com/rap-music/2014/08/the-come-up-ilovemakonnen/3/
