Lil Bibby biography
The rapper was born on 18th July 1994 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He was brought up in a lower-middle-class family by a single mother. His older sister played the role of his mother since his mother spent most of her time taking drugs. He has two brothers, George and Shawn.
He grew up in the East Side of Chicago's 79th street, which was predominantly occupied by black people. As a result of being raised in a harsh and unhealthy environment, the rapper grew up to be a violent person. He was regularly involved in fights, and his grades in school continued to go down.
He attended one of his local schools, where he played basketball. He also played in the streets with friends. After a while, he stopped playing basketball as the neighbourhood became filthier.
At the age of 13, he made money by selling drugs on the streets. On several occasions, he witnessed some of his friends get shot and others were taken to prison. During those troublesome moments, he drowned himself in music.
Music career
The rapper decided to make a career out of music when he was 16 years old. He began by recording raps on his smartphone. He also joined hands with like-minded music enthusiasts in the neighbourhood. By 2011, he had started working on his debut mixtape.
Career beginning and debut mixtape
The rapper released his first official mixtape, Free Crack, in 2013. It was inspired by Jadakiss and Drake, who the singer cites as his favourite rappers. The mixtape features some guest appearances from King L and Lil Herb.
The tape showcases his gruff and imposing voice together with solid flow and message delivery. Some of the singles in this mixtape are How We Move, Change, Water and Tired of Talkin.
Freshman Class, Free Crack 2
In January 2014, the rapper appeared on Sway in the Morning radio show. Bibby featured on New York's radio station, Hot 97, in the same month. He announced that he was working on a few extended play features.
The rapper also appeared on the list of 2014's XXL Freshman Class. He was the last person to be selected after the last-minute cancellation by Young Thug. On 29th August 2014, he released his sophomore mixtape, Free Crack 2.
The mixtape was hosted by DJ Drama and included guest appearances from renowned artists such as Wiz Khalifa, Lil Herb, Juicy J, and Kevin Gates.
