Early life and career

As a child, Carter, was interested in R&B and old school rap. He started to take music more seriously after he graduated from West-side High school and went to college at The Art Institute. Carter's roommate was into making beats as well. At first, Carter wanted to engineer and record for artists, but after seeing his roommate's work, it inspired him to start record producing. In 2011, Carter dropped out of college and started to engineer and record for people, but he wasn't making the kind of money that he wanted to. With no other job, he started to sell his beats. His cousin Yung Jonez, used to criticize his music. Just to impress his cousin, Carter kept trying to make his beats sounds better.

In May 2012, Carter sent rapper Rich Homie Quan eight beats to listen to. Rich Homie later told Carter via
