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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It is
Later than
You think
Ooga fucking booga, bitch
Hiding in your fucking trunk
Steppin all up in that So-Flo shit
Ooga fucking booga, bitch
Riding in that fucking donk
Scheming my way to the back of your brain
And I'm coming up with that future phonk
Ooga fucking booga, bitch
Hiding in your fucking trunk
Steppin all up in that So-Flo shit
I'm dirty right down to the bone
Ooga fucking booga, bitch
Riding in that fucking donk
Scheming my way to the back of your brain
And I'm coming up with that future phonk
Sliding to get an OT
Sitting up high like I'm on blue dream
Got the 12's in the trunk
And they shake the street
Ghoste up in black and my soul don't freeze
Putting motherfuckers underwater
Ever since I dropped my
Verse to LeaveMeInTheSky
Too broke to live so I called up the reaper
And asked him why I'm still alive
Never give a fuck about a motherfucker
Trying to bring a motherfucker
Down to they level
Settle for the shit you never show
And when it's never enough for me to
Make it to the next level
So I see you wanna act like
You speak to the devil
He's kicking it in my back seat
And if I wake up in the
Morning with no scratch on me
I'ma remain closed and deceased
When you see me better jump
Ooga fucking booga, bitch
Hiding in your fucking trunk
Steppin all up in that So-Flo shit
I'm dirty right down to the bone
Ooga fucking booga, bitch
Riding in that fucking donk
Scheming my way to the back of your brain
And I'm coming up with that future phonk
Ooga fucking booga, bitch
Hiding in your fucking trunk
Steppin all up in that So-Flo shit
I'm dirty right down to the bone
Ooga fucking booga, bitch
Riding in that fucking donk
Scheming my way to the back of your brain
And I'm coming up with that future phonk
Ghostemane's song OOGABOOGA is a dark and eerie track filled with haunting chants and heavy bass. The first verse starts with a warning - "Lights out everybody/It is/Later than/You think". This seems to set the tone for the rest of the song, which is full of menacing lyrics about hiding in trunks, scheming, and making it to the next level. The titular phrase "Ooga fucking booga, bitch" is repeated throughout the song, almost like a chant or a battle cry. It suggests that Ghostemane is embracing his dark side and embracing his fears rather than running from them.
The second verse starts with Ghostemane describing himself as "Sitting up high like I'm on blue dream" and having "the 12's in the trunk/And they shake the street". He also talks about putting motherfuckers underwater and calling up the reaper because he's too broke to live. These lyrics paint a picture of someone who is on the edge and not afraid to embrace their darker side in order to survive. The chorus repeats, with Ghostemane talking about hiding in trunks, riding in donks, and scheming his way to the back of people's brains.
