Kodak Black’s Bio, Age
Career
Having grown up in poverty and dealing with legal issues at a young age, Kodak Black’s early years were filled with hardship. Despite these obstacles, he used music as a means of self-expression. In 2013, he released his first mixtape, “Project Baby,” garnering attention for his raw lyrics and authenticity. This early project laid the foundation for his subsequent work and established his reputation as a promising young talent.
When “No Flockin” was released in 2014, it became virally popular and shaped Kodak Black’s breakthrough, showing his unique flow and delivery. His debut studio album, “Painting Pictures,” was released in 2017 as a result of this, getting him a record deal with Atlantic Records. Hit singles like “Tunnel Vision” and “Patty Cake” from the album established his place in the rap industry.
However, legal issues spoiled Kodak’s career. He has faced various charges, including weapon possession, drug offenses, and sexual assault allegations. These legal issues have resulted in multiple imprisonments, threatening the ongoing success of his music career. Despite these difficulties, Kodak has released several successful projects, including “Dying to Live” in 2018, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart.
In August 2016, Kodak Black received criticism for releasing a studio session video in which he mocked dark-skinned black women with lyrics indicating they were less attractive than light-skinned black women, which is considered misogyny—anti-Black hatred towards women.
Kodak’s music is often private and autobiographical, looking into his experiences growing up in poverty, the difficulties he faced, and the impact of his legal issues. His lyrics deal with themes such as durability, street life, and the search for success despite every obstacle.
In addition to his solo work, Kodak Black has collaborated with other notable artists, expanding his influence in the industry. His collaborations include tracks with artists like Travis Scott, Offset, and Juice WRLD, showing his versatility and ability to collaborate across different styles.
