On December 13, 1997, in Atlanta, GA, a boy named Jabari Kamar Santiago was born to his mother, Holly, and his father, Jorge. From a young age, Jabari was always around music. His father was a recording engineer, working with artist like Lil Gotti and his mother taught piano classes.

Since Jabari was always around music, he quickly grew a passion for writing his own bars and verses, often performing them at school talent shows. And at 13 years old, he recorded his first song at his friends house called “Do It For Tha Dollaz,” which was produced by his friend LaTrell, who went by Trell On Tha Track.

One day after school, in 2012, Jabari went over to LaTrell’s house to play video games and listen to music. One of the songs that came on was “Like a G” by Young Oso ft. T.I. That song changed something for Jabari. He heard the influence from his city in the song, and knew that he didn’t want to rap for fun anymore. He wanted to rap and make some money.

So, everyday Jabari would record and record, day and night, perfecting his craft. He wanted to make people feel something while listening to his raps. He began adopting certain adlibs he’d heard Young Oso use, and then add his own spin to it. Then, in 2014, Oso and Trilla announced a one night only concert in Atlanta. Jabari begged his parents to go, and they agreed. Jabari had the time of his life that night. And after the show, a group of fans were waiting for Oso, Trilla, and Slezxo to come out.

After hours of waiting, Slezxo finally came out and Jabari got to dap him up and say, “Look out for me, i’m coming up soon.” Slezxo smiled and said “Bet,” before walking to his car. Then, Jabari froze. Oso came out the door with Trilla by his side. All hell broke loose. Security began pushing the fans back, so Jabari didn’t get to speak to them, but he knew he’d get his chance to meet Oso.

In 2015, Jabari finally graduated from High school, and was supposed to be on his way to college. But, Jabari had a different idea. He sat with his parents and asked them if he could take a year off to pursue rapping full time. At first, they hated the idea, but then, he showed them his work, and they saw him shine. They could tell he was passionate about it and wanted him to succeed. So, they said, “You have 1 year to make it. If you don’t, then you go to college.” And so he agreed. That entire summer, Jabari recorded endlessly with LaTrell producing nearly every song. By the end of the year, Jabari had enough music to release a mixtape. He changed his name to Yung Keef, and decided it was go time.

“Keef Season” was released on February 12, 2016, independently. Although it didn’t chart, it sold 4,300 copies first week and began gaining traction the longer it was out. The hood began to fall in love with Jabari and that’s where his love for the streets grew. He began hanging out with the ATL Revels. He began popping pills with them and sipping lean. living the real rapper lifestyle that he grew up hearing.

He was finally making enough money to help his parents pay bills, but he didn’t think that was enough. He wanted to buy them a new home, so he knew he had to go even harder with his next release..

Hackers have gotten into Goyards hard drive and leaked multiple songs from the last few months, including one featuring A$TRO. Fans are now begging for new music as the leaked songs rack up millions of streams on platforms like SoundCloud and YouTube.

Around this time, Goyard also tweeted "fuck love" which led fans to wonder why he'd tweet that, and if his relationship with Britney is over.

Aside from the leaks, multiple sources have confirmed Goyard is in the studio working on his second album "Designer Pain 2."

With the success of Trina’s debut album, Trina World, the label wanted to capitalize on her success quick. But before they even tried milking it, Gotti told them to knock it off and let Trina do what she wanted.

Instead of re-releasing the album, like the label wanted, Trina decided she’d expand on the universe with new songs. Recording sessions began in May 2006 and wrapped by early July, just in time to begin the rollout.

Trina wanted it to be darker than her debut, but still fitting, ultimately deciding on “King Trina” being the lead single. The single saw huge success, debuting at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Trina’s fourth Top 20 single of her career. But it wasn’t enough. She wanted to, again, crack the Top 5. So, she decided to have her label release her next single, “Whip It,” in October 2006. The single peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, now making it her fifth top 5 hit. With that, it was now time for the album.

“Trina World: Reloaded” was released on October 15, 2006 and debuted at #3 on the Billboard Hot 200, selling 157,000 copies first week. The label was happy and so was Trina. Trina then announced the tour that was coming in January 2007.

While she had some off time, she decided to try her hand at love, deciding to go out to the club with her friends. There, she met a man named LaTrell Hawkins. He offered her drinks and she agreed. The two got to talking and hit it off well. Over the next few months, they began talking so often that they decided to move in together right before Trina left for her US Tour, which lasted from January 2007 - May 2007. During that time, she’d call and check on LaTrell, calling him after every performance. Even with distance, their love grew, and Trina was inspired by that.

So, when she returned home from tour, she got back into the studio, and began working on her next album. This time around, she wanted to explore the feelings of being in love, like earlier songs “Tied to You” and “Give It to You” from her first album. Early into the sessions, she called her mentor and collaborator Lil Gotti for advice. She told him she wanted to be the biggest female rapper ever, but she didn’t know where to go now. So, Gotti said: “Be whoever you wanna be. People gon hate you regardless, so if you can be a different version of yourself everytime and win new people over, it’ll mean more and feel better.”

With that advice, Trina decided this album would be from a new persona of hers. She decided to call her, XxTrina, the unapologetic rhymer. She wanted to continue exploring Rap, but also shift, play around with other genres like R&B and Pop.

Trina decided to call her next album, “DOMINATRIXx.”

By July 2012, Maxwell had been in Miami for four months, taking a break from music to travel the world with his girlfriend Athena. In Paris, he met rapper Rio Lennox, collaborated in his studio, and earned writing credits on multiple songs from Deja Vu. Inspired by Rio’s outlook, Maxwell began work on his own debut album, Boy Meets World, while experimenting heavily with drugs, especially Percocets and lean, which he grew dependent on.

From late 2012 into early 2013, he recorded extensively, blending psychedelic rock, alternative hip-hop, and R&B, influenced by Zahyr. He released one lead single, “Shivers,” on May 3, 2013, followed by the album on June 28. It debuted at #1 with 123,000 first-week sales and strong critical praise.

Afterward, Maxwell proposed to Athena in Nagasaki with a $300,000 ring, then began touring. Midway through, his drug use worsened, affecting his performances. After missing out on Grammy nominations, his dependency deepened, leading him to cancel the rest of the tour. Despite briefly stopping, he relapsed, becoming numb and disconnected.

But, when Athena threatened to leave, it forced him to confront his addiction. Maxwell quit, got clean, and returned to the studio to start his next album.

Goyard got back to work after New Year’s, focused on his debut album. He was in the studio constantly, barely seeing his girlfriend Britney, who grew frustrated with his nonstop grind.

In Feb 2016, he took her out for their 2-year anniversary and gave her $75,000 Chanel promise rings. The moment inspired him, leading to songs like “Two Rings” and “Rockstar $ex” which sampled Lil Trilla. That same month, he dropped “Tell Me Why?”, which hit #20 on the Billboard Hot 100. Still hungry, he kept working nonstop.

In March, he linked with producer DJ Boomix, and at 3 AM one night they made “Flexx My Wrist.” It was quickly released and exploded, debuting at #3 on the Hot 100. His momentum skyrocketed, boosted further by viral interviews and freestyles.

He then announced his debut album Life of a Rockstar, released May 6, 2016, debuting #1 with 196K first-week sales. Afterward, he took a break, but tensions with Britney escalated while he grew more isolated.

He soon went on a sold-out tour (July–Nov 2016), grossing $15M. But when he returned home, he caught Britney cheating. He attacked the man, kicked Britney out, and ended the relationship for good.

Soon after, he was hit with an assault warrant but paid a settlement and was released the next morning. He returned straight to the studio, more driven than ever.

In January 2017, he won Best Rap Song at the BET Awards for “Flex My Wrist” and announced his next album, Designer Pain 2, for Summer 2017. Even with his mugshot circulating online and boosting his fame, he used the moment as fuel and kept pushing harder throughout 2017.

After releasing two major mixtapes earlier in the year, Trilla returns with his mega album "Dirty Money 2," the sequel to an earlier project. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 200, selling 445,000 first week. The album produced 2 number one singles with "All My Girls (feat. Drake)" and "Jungle," respectively.

To support the album, Trilla embarked on a major tour, which ran from Sept 2015 - Jan 2016, and grossed $18.4 million.

But that wasn't enough for Trilla, at the 2015 Grammy Awards, he was nominated for 7 awards and won Artist of the Year, Best Rap Song "All My Girls," Best Rap Artist.

In January 2016, his first born daughter was born. While her name is still a mystery, Trilla is happy in life and plans on going even harder in 2016. The same month, Dirty Money 2 had officially been certified 3x platinum, selling over 3 million copies.
