His debut single "Live Sheck Wes", released in 2016, found some moderate success on the streaming app SoundCloud.
He was later signed to a joint deal in 2018 with Kanye West's "G.O.O.D. Music" and Travis Scott's "Cactus Jack" label, and his debut project, "MUDBOY" was released on October 5th of that same year.
Despite not being a single, Travis Scott's "ASTROWORLD" album track alongside Juice WRLD and Sheck Wes titled "No Bystanders" charted in some countries, including the USA, where at #31 it was Wes' first entry in the country.
Following the track's mild success, the song "Mo Bamba", off his aforementioned debut album and inspired by his friendship with the basketball player of the same name, became a smash hit over a year after its release, reaching the top positions of charts all around the world, including a #5 in Canada and a #6 in the USA.
Part of the single's popularity was due to an Internet meme were Know-it-all, a character from the animated 2004 film "Polar Express", was supposedly asking a group of people if they wanted to hear the above-mentioned hit single by Sheck Wes or label mate Travis Scott's track "SICKO MODE".
His following singles "Do That", "Chippi Chippi" and "Enzo (with DJ Snake featuring Offset, Gucci Mane and 21 Savage)" failed to enter any important charts.

The lyrics to Sheck Wes's song "Mindfucker" offer a glimpse into the rapper's inner thoughts, as he explores themes of power, success, and the importance of mental strength. In the opening lines, he acknowledges that many people may not fully comprehend his message, but insists that only "real mothafuckas" will understand what he is saying. He goes on to describe his late-night escapades, moving with a small group of trusted friends and keeping his weapon close to hand. He boasts of his success as a rapper, claiming that he is the "M.V.P" and "hotter than AZ." He signals his disregard for authority and convention, wearing N-I-K-Es on his feet and demanding to be paid. The refrain of the song, "You're a mothafuckin' mindfucker," emphasizes the importance of mental strength and the ability to overcome obstacles.
Throughout the song, Sheck Wes emphasizes the need to stay focused and true to oneself in the face of adversity. He acknowledges that his success has not come easily, and that he has had to stay disciplined and work hard to achieve his goals. He also references his struggles with substance abuse, suggesting that he has turned to smoking to cope with the stresses of his life as a rapper. Ultimately, however, he asserts that his "mind [is his] greatest weapon," and encourages others to prioritize their own mental strength.
