Hate him or love him, you have to respect this dude's hustle. He made his own beats, made his own songs, booked his own shows, made his own money, and got his ass out of Mississippi. King of the Internet lol 

@bcomes1550

Isn't he from Georgia ?

@tdupe4348

Bcomes He lived in Atlanta at an early age. He moved to Batesville, Mississippi at age 14 (not because of music though). It was there where he became the King of the Internet and made all his music and videos. 

I sound like VH1 True Hollywood Stories lol

@wnbafanaticforlife1

Bcomes He really from Chicago,IL
