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.

I mean like, icy gold goddamn
′Round my bitch type-shit, you know what I'm sayin?.
Like, straight depressed boy shit, you know what I′m sayin?
Niggas is '02, nigga
Ridin' round town, bitch in the whip
Stripper hoe bitch, stripper hoe witch
So many diamonds she fallin′ in love
Not fuckin′ with me cause she fuckin' with trust
Young Gucci cream with them yellow gold slugs
Blowin′ on tree, gray Swisher Sweets
Suckin' on dick with the pills in her cheeks
Skinny ass hoes, diamond on toes
Diamonds on titties, I′m countin' these 50s
Hella jewels on, young Nino Brown
Wavy ass nigga, gon′ make the hoe drown
Slidin' on pole, rubbin' me down
Coke on her lips
While she suckin′ me down
Ghetto witch queen, young Charlie Sheen
Sad as a bitch when depressed boys around
Droppin′ the top, pussy gon' pop
Pills in my socks lookin′ for who got rocks
Runnin' the shit, crystal on tits
Lookin′ and feelin' like I wanna pimp
Steak and the shrimp, chillin′ by ocean
Bitch, she deepthroatin', I'm sippin′ the ocean
Ghetto mermaid, icy hoe bitch
Lookin′ at paintings while rubbin' her clit (Clit)
Man, like, I′m talkin' about, like, nigga—nigga still icy
You know what I′m sayin'? Like, nigga still icy with no ice on,
You know what I′m sayin'?
Nigga, I'm froze up
Tell a bitch, "Hol′ up," you know what I′m sayin'?
Young nigga came up, lookin′ like muhfuckin' all-white Lexus
Gucci Lexus, know what I′m sayin'? Droptop flexin′ on my exes
You know what I'm sayin', nigga? Like, young nigga, you already know
Gold mouth princess on these hoes, nigga,
Finer than my bitch, yeah, nigga
Came through, cell phones on my nuts, nigga,
I′m a mufuckin′ walkin' cellular device
You already know, nigga,
Young nigga Lookin′ like Boost Mobile out here, yeahhh
