Growing up in Florida, Whitney was originally a guitar player for hardcore and doom metal bands.[3] Whitney moved to Los Angeles, California after starting his career as a rapper eventually finding success in the underground.
Eric Whitney was born 15 April 1991 in Lake Worth, Florida to parents from New York. Whitney grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida. As a teenager, he was in several bands and played the guitar which introduced him to music. He also played football whilst in High School, saying he was practically forced to by his father, who died when Whitney was seventeen.
Whitney was introduced to rap music when he was the guitarist in the hardcore punk band Nemesis and a bandmate introduced him to Memphis rap.
Whitney graduated from university after studying astrophysics and was eventually employed in a position earning $65,000 annually.In 2015, Whitney moved to Los Angeles, California due to his music not thriving in Southern Florida, giving up his employment at the same time. Meeting up with JGRXXN, Whitney joined his collective Schemaposse which included artists such as the now-deceased Lil Peep and Craig Xen.
In April 2016, Schemaposse disbanded leaving Whitney not associated with any group. Whitney eventually began to associate with the popular underground group $uicideboy$ and fellow Florida rapper Pouya. Pouya released the video for "1000 Rounds" with Ghostemane in April 2017.The video quickly went viral and as of May 2018, has nearly 9 million views.
In 2018 Whitney released his 10th album, "N / O / I / S / E" (No One Is Safe from Evil). The album has a very dark and aggressive style and it deals a lot with self-harm, self-mutilation, agoraphobia, and many other issues Ghostemane has dealt with personally. N / O / I / S / E was released by surprise on 10th October 2018, as it was supposed to drop on 17th October of the same year.

No rent to pay and yo granny got yo phone bill
These motherfuckers twenty-two, live like they sixteen
Ain't nothin urban bout a outfitter hype--
Beast, no identity
Sittin' 'round re-tweetin' tweets
From your favorite rapper you found out about like last week
Keep it trendy like a pussy bitch you oughta be
Planet Earth is about to be recycled
Your only chance to - survive - or evacuate, is to leave, with us
So once you hit eleven likes you a king
Pussy be beggin' for you, I see
I bet you pick up on my sarcasm so easily, easily
Bury yo head in the ground and then don't come out
Better sort your fuckin' life out
There's more to life than hittin' synthetic drugs 'til yo lights out
When I was a kid on my bus I got a bible
Was told to read it
I took it home to my pops, he threw it in the trash and yelled
Don't you even
That begun my life as a heathen
Questioning everything
Especially trends, among other shit, keepin' the population contained

That mind is in me
I know what I just said
I said, I am the return of the Son of my Father
I'll tell you something that's even more remarkable
My Father came with me - this time

Self
The lyrics of GhosteMane's song "Heavens Gate Has The Best Punch" are a criticism of the shallow and superficial values of modern society. He starts by mocking those who think they are "edgy" and "urban," but in reality, they are just living like teenagers and trying to be trendy. He also criticizes the obsession with social media and how many people measure their self-worth by the number of likes they get.
GhosteMane then goes on to talk about the need to question everything and not just blindly follow trends. He recounts a personal story about his father throwing away a Bible and how that started his journey as a "heathen" who questions everything. The lyrics also suggest that GhosteMane sees himself as the return of the Son of his Father (God) and that he has the same mind as Jesus.
The overall message of the song is that material possessions and social status do not bring true happiness or fulfillment. Instead, one should focus on personal growth and individuality rather than conforming to the shallow values of society.
