Since 2007, he has released five independent mixtapes under LA clothing and management company Peas & Carrots Intl. His debut studio album, Live & Grow, was released on September 25, 2015. Aside from his solo career, Casey was a founding member of the Los Angeles-based hip hop collective Odd Future.

With his first mixtape project, 2007’s Customized Greatly Vol. 1, the 16 year-old lyricist proved that he had the potential to be more than just another Myspace artist. He followed up that project a year later with Customized Greatly Vol. 2 which produced “I’m Right Here” and “It’s All Good,” two songs that picked up around the city. By junior year, he realized that this was something that he not only wanted, but needed to do. So he traded in the hard wood for the stage, dusted off his rhyme book and started getting even more serious about his music. He was making a name for himself amongst the younger crowd in Los Angeles, but now he has his sights set on greater gains. Vol. 1 was somewhat of an experiment, Vol. 2 a test, but now the teen-aged spitter is ready for graduation.

Sleeping in Class, his third solo project, and arguably his most evolved yet, promises to be a culmination of the lessons he’s learned over the last couple of years. The tape intends to prove that while the young artist is not quite seasoned, his potential is definitely ripe.

Me and my niggas was in the cut like rubbin' alcohol
Shaded up with a girl or two, not a worry at all
I'm with them niggas in LA, that you know about, know about, from your girl
From the word of mouth, I'm the only name that come out her mouth
To the South, Texas state, yeah that's where my family at
Deep up in the country homie where people be burnin' trash
Rollin' by, feelin' hella good, I been up in Inglewood
Since Paul Pierce went to Inglewood went from hood to hood

Love it there, taught me how to be a man
Hear them dudes rappin' 'bout it, but really they don't understand
I come from a little somethin' called the streets, taught me how to be a man
Hear them dudes rappin' 'bout it, but really they don't understand
Understand?

Girls come around, man they been tryna get it out me
Niggas in my face, they don't know nothin' about me
Most these niggas fake, I say loud I say it proudly
We got money to make, and we don't trust anybody, anybody
Said we don't trust anybody, anybody

I said high school, 11th grade, CDs in my back pack
Who ever needed that, they got it, next day they come back, they on it
Most these chickens actin' on it, lovin' how I'm tappin' on it
Niggas hit me up, yeah they lovin' how I'm rappin' on it
Said I will attack a track, and this gone need a rappin' lawyer
Charged before assault, look at all this shit I bought
I'm always tryna floss, and when I get I'mma do it right
Straight shinin' on them lames, from the mornin' to the night
From the mornin' to the night, I take the air, takin' flight
Yeah that's that LA shit, young guys on they playlist
Jordans and the gold chain, Illmatic bumpin'
Nas did it first and now I'm 'bout to tell 'em somethin'
They all up in my face when I walk up in the function
Them girls wasn't dancin', but now they all jumpin'
I said Jordans and the gold chain, Illmatic bumpin'
Nas did it first and now I'm 'bout to tell 'em somethin', Veggies

Girls come around, man they been tryna get it out me
Niggas in my face, they don't know nothin' about me
Most these niggas fake, I say loud I say it proudly
We got money to make, and we don't trust anybody, anybody
Said we don't trust anybody, anybody

Hey girl, what's your name? Do you wanna suck a dick?
Who am I? Wolf Haley, yeah I'm known for punchin' bitches
In the fuckin' brain, do wanna give me some?
No you don't? Why you won't? Oh, you're a fuckin' nun
Didn't mean to offend, oh, you're a lesbian
So I'm guessin' you don't really like to put your trust in men?
Who do I trust? Um, heroine addicts and
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, yeah I can count on them
Who is him? Signed proof in a suit
Preme' six panel cap with the green brim
It's box logo this, box logo that
Usually a caucausian, big swallow on the cack, oh snap
I am, spittin' like I got chipped tooth, pop some Prozac
Golf Wang nigga, know that or that can
Turn into some neck, gettin' snapped up properly
Tyler Creator and Casey Veggies, fuck broccoli

Yeah, DTA in this bitch
I don't trust nobody nigga
I mean, you can trust these niggas but
At the end, they fuckin' you, no homo

Me and my niggas was in the cut like rubbin' alcohol
My friends and I were hanging out in a lowkey spot

Shaded up with a girl or two, not a worry at all
We're chilling, nothing to worry about, and there are some girls with us

I'm with them niggas in LA, that you know about, know about, from your girl
I'm with the guys in LA that your girl might have told you about

From the word of mouth, I'm the only name that come out her mouth
When my name comes up in conversation, I'm the only one she talks about

To the South, Texas state, yeah that's where my family at
My family lives in Texas, down south

Deep up in the country homie where people be burnin' trash
My family lives in a country area where people burn trash

Rollin' by, feelin' hella good, I been up in Inglewood
I'm driving around feeling great, and I spend most of my time in Inglewood

Since Paul Pierce went to Inglewood went from hood to hood
I've been around different areas in Inglewood since Paul Pierce used to play in the neighborhood

Love it there, taught me how to be a man
I really like it there, and it helped me develop into a mature person

Hear them dudes rappin' 'bout it, but really they don't understand
Other people might rap about Inglewood, but they don't really understand what it's like

I come from a little somethin' called the streets, taught me how to be a man
I grew up in the streets, and it helped me become a man

I'm focused on making money and don't trust anyone

I said high school, 11th grade, CDs in my back pack
When I was in 11th grade, I had CDs in my backpack

Who ever needed that, they got it, next day they come back, they on it
I would give my CDs to anyone who asked for them, and the next day they would come back asking for more

Most these chickens actin' on it, lovin' how I'm tappin' on it
Most of these girls just want to be with me because I'm getting famous

No you don't? Why you won't? Oh, you're a fuckin' nun
You don't want to be hit? Oh, it's because you're a religious person

Didn't mean to offend, oh, you're a lesbian
I didn't mean to offend you, you're a lesbian and don't like men
