Mini bio
How it started.
Jeffery Williams grew up in Atlanta and developed his voice through the I Came from Nothing mixtapes. Lil Wayne was an early idol. By 2013, he had joined Gucci Mane’s 1017 camp and released 1017 Thug; “Stoner,” “Danny Glover” and “Lifestyle” helped bring his sound to a wider audience.
A voice of his own.
He bends between rapping, melody and ad-libs, treating his voice like an instrument. Barter 6 and JEFFERY became defining projects before So Much Fun gave him his first Billboard 200 No. 1 in 2019. His feature on Camila Cabello’s “Havana” and co-writing on Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” also carried him beyond his own records.
Building YSL.
As founder and CEO of Young Stoner Life Records, he built a home for collaborators and younger artists. The Slime Language compilations extend that shared world, with the third installment arriving in August 2026.
The next chapter.
He left jail in October 2024 after pleading guilty to gang, drug and gun charges in the YSL case and remained on probation. He returned to public concerts at Summer Smash in June 2025, followed by UY SCUTI that September. His 2026 work includes collaborations with Fred again.., NAV and Lil Baby.
