Early life

[edit]

Isaiah Loubeau was born on September 15[1] in Carol City, Florida.[2] He played football at Miami Carol City Senior High School[3] and was classmates with Denzel Curry. They originally connected when Loubeau was working The Cheesecake Factory in 2015, and Curry, who was on a date there, encouraged Loubeau to start rapping.[4][5][6]

Career

[edit]

Loubeau began releasing music on SoundCloud in 2018 and it caught the attention of record producer Lord Lu C N, who reintroduced him to Denzel Curry. Loubeau had a guest appearance on Curry's 2019 album Zuu and was an opener for his Melt My Eyez Tour in 2022.[7] In May 2021, he nearly died in a car accident that left him with amnesia and unable to walk for nine months. In 2024, Loubeau performed alongside Curry and ASAP Rocky on the song "Hoodlumz" from the former's album King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2. This track was also included on Loubeau's second studio album, VIP, which was released on August 23.[3][8][9] The album's deluxe, Vampires Impersonating People, was released on December 13, 2024.[6]
