Onfroy's most popular song to-date is Look at Me, which was originally released in 2016 and re-released in 2017, and peaked at number 42 on US Billboard Hot 100. The single helped him gain more popularity in early 2017 due to accusations of Canadian rapper Drake using a similar rap flow in his then unreleased song, now released under the name "KMT", that he previewed at a concert in Amsterdam featuring British rapper Giggs.
In July 2016, Onfroy was arrested and charged with robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. After posting bail in early October of the same year, while awaiting trial, Onfroy was arrested again later that month on charges of false imprisonment, witness tampering, and aggravated battery of a pregnant victim. Onfroy was released from jail on bail on March 26, 2017.
Onfroy announced his debut studio album, 17 on July 30, 2017. The album released on August 25, 2017. It features 11 tracks and includes the lead single Revenge.
Onfroy was shot and killed on June 18, 2018, in Deerfield Beach, Florida.

The lyrics to XXXTENTACION/John Cunningham's song "Voice Memo 2: SAD!" seem to speak about the theme of suicide, but the message is not entirely clear. The opening lines talk about the sound of suicide, and the singer says they "like it." This can be interpreted as a dark and concerning confession that they are attracted to the idea of suicide. The repeated line "who am I, someone that's afraid to let go" can be seen as an existential question about the singer's identity, or it can be interpreted as a willingness to let go of life and end it.
The line "you decide" is a recurring phrase that encourages the listener to take responsibility for their own life and make choices about their future. The singer seems to be struggling with letting go and making decisions, which could be related to the topic of mental health and depression. The song ends with a playful reference to "rowing your boat" in a specific direction, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for taking control of your life and determining which path to follow.
Overall, the song's lyrics are emotionally intense and thought-provoking, raising questions about mental health, personal identity, and the power of choice.
