Mini bio
How it started.
Mabu told REVOLT that rap battles with friends led to a song for his friend Charles, who was fighting cancer. His first studio visit came at Charles’s birthday party at Jerry Wonda’s studio. In 2019, after middle-school graduation, he recorded his first release, “glue,” on his mother’s computer.
The breakout.
He released the mixtape Double M’s in 2022, with guests including Dusty Locane and Dougie B. In May 2023, his self-released “Mathematical Disrespect” became his first Billboard Hot 100 entry. The song also reached No. 27 on the UK Official Singles Chart.
From bedroom to dorm room.
He told REVOLT that “Mathematical Disrespect” was made in his bedroom. At college, he built a studio beneath his bunk bed and recorded with Fivio Foreign. Young Genius followed in 2024. His newer catalog includes “wanna feel,” “sand in turks,” and “natural high.”
