Kray began making music in his teenage years, releasing his first song on Myspace in 2007 shortly after buying his first microphone. That year, he would also go on to create his YouTube-channel, which was at the time known as sk8tbrdt, where he upload skating clips, music videos, and sometimes even just regular videos of him hanging out with his friends and listening to music.
In 2011 Kray joined his first collective, The Terrorist Posse, which at the time consisted of him and some friends. In late 2012, after having released some work together and a few members leaving, the short-lived group would eventually turn into the well-known Goth Money Records that Kray's known for founding today.
He has his own extensive solo discography separate from Goth Money, however. Kray is also a frequent collaborator, creating tracks with artists & producers such as Lil Yachty, SpaceGhostPurrp, Bladee, CHXPO, Working on Dying, Big Baby, and many more.
Kray is one of the most unique artists born from the internet rap culture, drawing heavy influence from artists such as Lil B, MGMT, Pink Floyd & Santigold. His mannerisms and style made him a pioneer in the cloud rap sub-genre and has also been at the forefront of the tread sub-genre. His signature delivery is often very slurred or nearly unintelligible, sometimes reaching a sing-song tone.
Kray continuously pushes out new music, and always exemplifies his self-coined “still strugglin', still shinin'” lifestyle.

Black Kray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoes out, I got cotton mouth, I'm depressed now
Gothed out, shit is Godfather when I mob out
Sawed-off to my bitch jaw, it's a waterfall
Bimmer, bring the keys out, bring the skis out
Hoes out, I got cotton mouth, I'm depressed now
Gothed out, shit is Godfather when I mob out
Sawed-off to my bitch jaw, it's a waterfall
Triple stacks in her ass crack, make that ass clap
Smokin' blunts, tears put it out, gotta light it up
Light it up, crew sus as fuck, I'on give a fuck
Diamond nuts on her Myspace, with a diamond slut
Tops baked, yellow gold in my mouth, eatin' steak
Chef Kray, Gucci goth bitch look like Mary Kate
On a date, pills in her shake, watch her ass shake
Stripper hoe strippin' on a pole, by the water doe
Waterfalls, elegant-ass niggas, diamonds in my jaw
Hunnid goth, hunnid thou' art piece chillin' on the wall
Art rich, with the mills clique, icy goth bitch
Bimmer, bring the keys out, bring the skis out
Hoes out, I got cotton mouth, I'm depressed now
Gothed out, shit is Godfather when I mob out
Sawed-off to my bitch jaw, it's a waterfall
Bimmer, bring the keys out, bring the skis out
Hoes out, I got cotton mouth, I'm depressed now
Gothed out, shit is Godfather when I mob out
Sawed-off to my bitch jaw, it's a waterfall
Jewels on, dirty jewels on, on a pay phone
Trap goth, Gucci trap goth, nothin' trap god
Gold mouth in Atlantis, bitch, we dancin'
Silk robes, look so handsome in the castle
Anti, we so anti like Gucci
Uzi and a MAC-10 in the back den
Posi, we so posi in a Audi
Art show with a art hoe, make her diet
Pieces worth a thousand, I'm one-thousand
You one-hunnid, I'm so dirty, she's dirty
Ain't shit, jewelry on my neck make you faint, bitch
Sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm not sorry
Bimmer, bring the keys out, bring the skis out
Hoes out, I got cotton mouth, I'm depressed now
Gothed out, shit is Godfather when I mob out
Sawed-off to my bitch jaw, it's a waterfall
The lyrics to Black Kray's song "Iced Out Castles" are a stream-of-consciousness narration of the rapper's lifestyle, full of references to luxury goods, drugs, and violence. The song is heavily influenced by gothic and grunge aesthetics, as well as trap music. The chorus repeats the line "Bimmer, bring the keys out, bring the skis out", which could be a reference to skiing as a hobby or as a code for cocaine, a drug that Black Kray frequently raps about. The lyrics also mention "cotton mouth" and being "depressed now", possible side effects of drug use.
Another recurring image in the song is that of water, specifically waterfalls. The line "sawed-off to my bitch jaw, it's a waterfall" could be interpreted as Black Kray threatening his enemies with violence or as a reference to oral sex. The song also includes multiple references to Gucci, a luxury fashion brand that is often associated with hip hop culture. The line "Gucci hoe, Gucci-Gucci hoe, need a Gucci witch" suggests that Black Kray is attracted to women who are also fashionable and affluent.
Overall, "Iced Out Castles" is a dark, atmospheric track that showcases Black Kray's unique style and perspective. The lyrics are often cryptic and open to interpretation, but they paint a vivid picture of the rapper's world and the struggles that come with fame and addiction.
