Early life

In 2017, Williams began to rap after being influenced by his father playing hip-hop music around him. During this time, Christian chose to record his music via iPhone earbuds.[4]

In October 2020, Williams first came to light with the popularity of his song "Kyrie Irving!" on TikTok.[7] In January 2022, he appeared on late rapper PnB Rock's mixtape SoundCloud Daze.[8] In January 2022, he also released his most popular song "Off the Leash" with tana and Luiss.
