22Gz began gaining a following back in 2016 after he released the singles βBlixkyβ and βSuburbanβ. The latter, which was produced by London based drill/UK grime producer AXL Beats, is regarded as one of the first major Brookyln drill songs to become popular.
He was later signed to Kodak Blackβs Florida based label, Sniper Gang, in 2018.
His first major mixtape, The Blixky Tape, was released through Atlantic Records in the summer of 2019.

The lyrics in 22Gz's song LLNB are intense and reflect the reality of life for 22Gz and his associates. The opening line, "22, your father's dead, but this is life" is a direct reference to 22Gz's father who was murdered when he was just 13 years old. The next line, "R.I.P. Nick Blixky" pays homage to the late rapper and 22Gz's close friend who was killed in May 2020. This sets the tone for the rest of the song which is essentially a warning to anyone who might pose a threat to 22Gz and his crew.
Throughout the song, 22Gz talks about the need to protect himself at all times, with lines like "whole lotta drip on me, gotta walk with a blick on me" which means that he has a lot of valuables on him and needs a gun to protect himself. He also mentions that he's heard that people are trying to kill him and that he needs to be careful not to let anyone "switch on him" or betray him. This is especially important because he is the "General of the Blixk army," which means that he is responsible for keeping everyone around him safe.
One of the most interesting things about the song LLNB is that it was released just days after the death of 22Gz's friend and collaborator, Nick Blixky. The song became an instant hit with fans, who saw it as a tribute to Nick's life and legacy. Another interesting fact is that the song title, LLNB, stands for "Long Live Nick Blixky," which is a message that 22Gz repeats throughout the song.
