Adams is of Jamaican descent and has rapped since his teenage years. Along with co-writing many of the Peas' hit songs, he's also had a solo career featuring multiple top 20 hit singles as well as collaborations with various artists such as Mick Jagger and Britney Spears among many others.
When William was sixteen years old, he started rapping in late 1991 under the name "Will-1X" after being discovered by Compton rapper and former N.W.A. leader Eazy-E and signed a deal to Eazy's Ruthless Records. will.i.am's first rap song was "Merry Muthafuckin' Xmas" from Eazy-E's 1992 EP 5150: Home 4 tha Sick. Shortly after Eazy-E's death in 1995, Will left Ruthless to start a group that would later be called the Black Eyed Peas with fellow rappers Taboo and apl.de.ap.
After the addition of singer-songwriter Fergie, the group shot into mainstream pop consciousness with a set of hit singles in the mid-00s, popularity that continues to this day. The Black Eyed Peas' producer is Sergio Mendes, an internationally successful Brazilian musician and jazz aficionado. In September 2007, will.i.am took a major step into a solo career identity by joining with his record label, Universal Music Group (UMG), on a pilot scheme to reward certain file-sharing with cash incentives, including will.i.am tracks from his then upcoming release Songs About Girls.
In total, he has released four solo albums: Lost Change (2001), Must B 21 (2003), Songs About Girls (2007), and #willpower (2013). Although often facing mixed critical reviews, he's experienced significant commercial success, including a set of popular singles. His solo performances, featuring collaborations with a wide group of artists including Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Phife Dawg, Snoop Dogg, and Nicole Scherzinger, are perhaps best summed up in the international top 20 mega-hit "Scream & Shout".
Will.i.am was also recently cast as John Wraith in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a prequel to the X-Men movie series. And if one enjoyed Madagascar 2's chunky hippo, Moto Moto, then one should know that the deep voice belonged will.i.am., who came in after he was ''pimped'' out to the directors by his friend and sometimes collaborator Justin Timberlake.
Before joining the Black Eyed Peas, Will.i.am attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. In 2001, he began designing his own signature clothing line, i.am, which made its official debut in 2005 at the Magic apparel trade show in Las Vegas. In 2007, Will.i.am teamed up with Blue Holdings to design a premium denim collection, i.am Antik, that had its debut on the Project Show in Las Vegas. He has also designed clothing for the Black Eyed Peas.
In January 2008, will.i.am helped write a song, "Yes We Can", in support of the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign of Barack Obama, which in turn became a music video directed by Jesse Dylan. The lyrics of the song are composed almost entirely of excerpts from Obama's speech on January 8, 2008, following the New Hampshire presidential primary election. The video features appearances from numerous celebrities like Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriguez, Kelly Hu, Hill Harper, Amber Valletta, Eric Balfour, Aisha Tyler, Nicole Scherzinger, Nick Cannon, Bryan Greenberg, Common and first appeared on the website for Dipdive, and within a week of its appearance racked up three million views, and over four million views on Youtube.
On February 29, 2008, a second video titled "We Are The Ones" was released on Dipdive and YouTube. It included cameo appearances from Jessica Alba, Ryan Phillippe, Kerry Washington, John Leguizamo, Regina King, Tyrese Gibson, Eric Mabius, Tichina Arnold, Adrienne Palicki, comedian George Lopez, and singers Macy Gray, Zoe Kravitz and Black Eyed Peas’ Taboo. The video features everyone chanting "O-BA-MA" as a portrayal as their hopes and wishes for Obama and his presidential campaign.
In 2013, will.i.am released his album "#thatpower".

Fancy
will.i.am Lyrics
You know that that's fine
You know that that's fancy
Just get into the vibe you can kick off your shoes
Cause everybody stepping in the ones and the twos
This something here they just cannot refuse
I can tell why certain man they need me to lose
I'm patient g, I'll just wait on the cues
Meanwhile here's my cup you can fill it with booze
Probably island to island I've been on a cruise
So just send all the gyal, ain't no picking or choose
Cause I bet they've never been Sicily
That's just heart eyes X and O's in Italy
I'll make these plays like Ribery Most man jittery
But success breeds most misery But when it rain that thing pours
I'm tryna tell you man I've been crossed
That's what you get when lavish life is really endorsed
Outside some man been only stuck up indoors
I'm running things they're on pause
Isnt That fine
That's fancy
As far as you can see
You know my ting, dem glance me
If you wanna go my gyal then can't we
Chilling in the places, dem can't be
Bring Thalia and Shanti
That's Hennessy and Brandy That's the finer things
That's fancy
Everything's dandy
On a beach somewhere and it's sandy
Used to call G now it's on handsfree
Changed locations upping this ante, and that's handy
Came in the game all fancy I'm still cooking like Ramsey
With bare things in pantry I'm just saying that's frankly
Man still vexed that can't be
Like G wa you telling me
Most man dem just being on jealousy
Why you think I smoke that's therapy
With this sauce and recipe Watch me leave this legacy
Done it with grind No I can't ignore signs
Most man coming in blind How can I worry bout yours
I'm worried bout mine Just know that I've done it with time
Isn't that fine
That's fancy
As far as you can see
You know my ting, dem glance me
If you wanna go my gyal then can't we
Chilling in the places, dem can't be
Bring Thalia and Shanti
That's Hennessy and Brandy That's the finer things
That's fancy
You know that that's fancy
Just get into the vibe you can kick off your shoes
Cause everybody stepping in the ones and the twos
This something here they just cannot refuse
I can tell why certain man they need me to lose
I'm patient g, I'll just wait on the cues
Meanwhile here's my cup you can fill it with booze
Probably island to island I've been on a cruise
So just send all the gyal, ain't no picking or choose
That's just heart eyes X and O's in Italy
I'll make these plays like Ribery Most man jittery
But success breeds most misery But when it rain that thing pours
I'm tryna tell you man I've been crossed
That's what you get when lavish life is really endorsed

J'ai remarqué que sur killshot il y as un détail que vraiment personne n'as remarqué alors que c'est peut-être le moment le plus intelligent du son. Il faut bien suivre mais c'est pas compliqué à comprendre en vrai.
Il y as quelques années Iggy azalea avait cartonner avec le titre Fancy. C'est sûrement son son le plus populaire encore aujourd'hui et dans ce son le refrain disait
" Rappelle toi de mon prénom je vais devenir une Star"
Il se trouve que le vrai prénom de Iggy Azalea c'est Kelly.
Du coup sur killshot quand Em parle à mgk il lui a dit
" Tu ne seras jamais dans la même liste que les Biggie ou Jay Z
Toi t'es avec les Taylor Swift et l'autre catin D'Iggy.
La tu va vraiment devenir une star KELLY"
En même temps il reprend les paroles de fancy
" Souviens toi de mon prénom je vais devenir une star"
Et il lui dit que la elle va vraiment devenir une star avec la popularité qu'aura killshot et il dit son vrai prénom
Et en même temps il dit à mgk ( Qui s'appelle Kelly aussi) la même chose
C'est brillant sérieux et parmi les nombreuses références que tout le monde a remarqué dessus personne n'as cramé ça
