Raised between California and Texas, rapper JAHMED made his musical debut in early 2020 with the single "ARCHIVE." Delivering brash narratives with punchy, versatile vocals, the rapper's vibrant bangers quickly built him an underground following, with singles like "JEEP" and "FIAT" garnering hundreds of thousands of digital streams. Many of these made it onto the eight-track mini-album THEBOOFMOBILE (2020), which packaged the rapper's anthems into a semi-conceptual work. Following this, the musician caught the attention of rapper G-Eazy, who featured the upcoming artist on the politically driven single "Love Is Gone."
