Life and career

Biddle was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama.[3] He started making music in 2013, releasing a string of mixtapes that had his name circulate throughout the Southern scene, and eventually sign a deal with Columbia Records through Boosie Badazz's label Bad Azz Music Syndicate.[4]

In 2017, he came back on the scene with the singles "Miss It" and "Ice on My Baby" from the mixtape Investments 4, which featured a guest appearance from YoungBoy Never Broke Again.[5] In 2018, he released a remix for "Miss It" featuring Kid Ink and for "Ice on My Baby" featuring Kevin Gates.

In 2020, he released the mixtape Inv 5 and the EP Bleu Vandross, which were his last releases under Columbia Records and Bad Azz Music. Later that year, he signed a deal with Empire Distribution and a management deal with Meek Mill's label Dream Chasers Records.[6] The same year, he released the EP Love Scars: The 5 Stages of Emotions, which included the single "You're Mines Still". A remix for "You're Mines Still" featuring Canadian rapper Drake was released through OVO Sound on October 16, 2020, after the two artists were connected by basketball player DeMarcus Cousins.[7] The remix peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped Love Scars: The 5 Stages of Emotions to enter the Billboard 200 chart.[8][9]

In 2021, Biddle released the singles "Thieves in Atlanta" featuring Coi Leray,[10] "Baddest" featuring Chris Brown and 2 Chainz,[11] and "Way More Close (Stuck in a Box)" featuring Big Sean.[12] All of the three songs appeared on Biddle's debut album Moon Boy, released on July 23 of the same year.[13][14] The album features guest appearances from Drake, Gunna, Big Sean, Kehlani, Chris Brown, 2 Chainz, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Moneybagg Yo, H.E.R., and Kodak Black.[15]
