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.

The above lyrics are from the song 'Texico Trappin' by Black Kray that talks about his experience of trappin' (selling drugs) in Texas and Mexico, both of which he refers to as 'Texico.' The lyrics are primarily about the lifestyle surrounding trapping, with dirty gold (meaning illegal money) being the common thread throughout. Kray also references his ride of choice, the Honda, which he uses to swerve through the streets while engaging in illegal activities. He also references various other aspects of the trapping life such as trap phones, dirty Vans, and witch cuffs. Kray talks about the women in his life who he refers to as 'dirty hoes' while he flexes his wealth and success, referring to counting fifties and carrying a money clip. He also mentions 'Money Mitch,' a reference to the drug dealer-turned informant who inspired the movie 'Paid in Full.' Kray ends the song with a medley of different Honda references, emphasizing his loyalty to the brand and the ideal getaway car it provides.
Overall, the lyrics to 'Texico Trappin' are an expression of the trapper lifestyle. Through language littered with trap lingo and street slang, the song describes the thrill and danger of dealing drugs. Despite the explicit references to drugs and illegal activities, it is a song that talks about the hustle and the drive to succeed in a harsh environment.
