Early life
In Memphis, Tennessee, James Baker was born on May 19, 1996. His name derives from his father, who is currently serving a 25-year prison term for rape. In 2008, when Baker was 12, his father was released from jail and went to Baker's house to see him for a brief period of time. Baker became a member of the Grape Street Watts Crips at the age of 14. Despite being based in Los Angeles, the gang has a Peda Roll Mafia branch in Memphis. Baker's affiliation is mentioned in several of his albums, including "Rover." Baker spent a month in jail in 2012 for committing a home invasion, but was sentenced to the remainder of his term on house arrest. Baker has described the attack as "sloppy" and that they carried out the assault with no masks and a BB gun.
Baker started playing music when he was 14 and met Tay Keith (who later appeared on "Look Alive") in North Memphis, and the two began making music shortly after.

Baker reiterated his love for former United States president Donald Trump in 2020. He has one child.
