== Career ==
As a kid, Carry never had any motivation or wanted anything to do with music. He was enrolled at The Science and Medicine Middle School where everything looked bright for this kid’s future. Carry had an assignment from his art class, which states that everyone must write a song to bring in to school the next day. He brought his assignment to school as instructed for his teacher to grade. That day was a school trip for him and his classmates. His teacher took his assignment and told him that he has to perform his song at a theater in Manhattan, New York which had at least 1,000 to 2,000 people in attendance.
Even after that, Carry still never had any aspirations for music, not until he got to high school where he attended C. Leon King High School in Tampa, Florida. He used to hang around people he knew in the morning all the time but stayed distant from everyone, except a couple of his close friends. One day at school, there were students that he used to hang around at his table that started rap battling each other in the morning. His friend and close friend doubted him and even told him that he wasn’t capable of doing what the other students did or anything that’s music related. Carry would then make it a mission to do just that.
He went home that exact day, watched YouTube tutorials, and made his first song which was a diss track to everybody at his table in school. The diss track was a remix to Tay-K's "The Race" but has been taken down ever since then. Meanwhile of Carry’s diss track, he used to make YouTube videos from the NBA 2K community. He used to make mixtape videos, tutorials videos, etc. He got noticed for his creative videos and consistency on the platform around 2016 to 2017. One of his videos was an honorable mention in a huge editing tournament which was noticed from a guy who would then ask Carry to join his editing community with a lot of other editors.
Carry would then meet his friend, MMG Waveyy, as they released multiple tracks together. Carry starting getting a little bit of recognition from social media which would lead him into making his first official single “Trap house” in early January of 2017 that would set it off for the young superstar.
After high school, Carry would move to Raleigh, North Carolina in early August of 2019 with his mother hoping for a better opportunity. He would then reunite with his brother and rapper, Jaywin. He used his studio to record “Fairytale Heart” which would be his first ever recorded song in his new city.
As time passes being in a new state, he has been introduced to a lot of great talent in his area. On January 13, 2021, Carry would release his single “You down?” with his brother and rapper, Jaywin, which would gain some attraction and radio play from K97.5 and would land on urban charts at #203.

== Musical Style ==
MOB Carry is mostly known for his unique sound and delivery, which can be shown on singles, “Poppin” and “The City”. His sound can also be well known as “melodic” above all. As a child, he started listening to a lot of underground music which involved artists 1030 Tuwop and Duwap Kaine. His favorite mainstream musicians were Lil Uzi Vert and Kanye West but kind of backed off for the underground scene a bit more. His favorite artist to date is more professionally known as Lil Tecca as he became more in tune with music around the era of Lil Tjay, Lil Mosey, NLE Choppa, and much more. Definitely, most being inspirations to Carry more than anything.
