Rx Papi began rapping when he was 9 years old. In May 2018, Papi was arrested for 21 months on counts of drug charges. After finishing his jail sentence and releasing his free-from-prison ode “First Day Out”, he began to pursue music as a full-time career.

Rx Papi used to go under the name Lil Fleechy as that was his name “in the streets,” he explained in an interview with Passion of the Weiss.

"So I was really still doing street shit while rapping under that name, and due to all the street shit I was doing, I didn’t really get all the support I was supposed to be getting. Because, niggas know I did such and such, or something happened to someone, so I ain’t going to bump his shit. So when I changed my name, nobody’s going to know me, they’re going to say “who’s this Rx Papi!? I never heard of him, I’m going to keep bumping him”. And the whole time, you may have a real problem with me but he’s still bumping my music the whole time because he doesn’t know it’s me."

Rx Papi began to receive major recognition in early 2022 after his song “12 Stout Street” saw massive success on the video-sharing platform TikTok, despite it’s dark lyrics and undertone.

Rx Papi makes cloud rap, trap, and plugg music with lyrics consisting of topics such as controversial and political views, hardships faced in his childhood, and emotional trauma.
