Early life
Stokeley Clevon Goulbourne was born on April 18, 1996 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He is
of Jamaican descent.[13]
Goulbourne grew up listening to Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott, Wu-Tang Clan, and Lil Wayne, among
other artists. He has said that his parents often played Jamaican music around the house.
Goulbourne's father—a rapper who used the stage name "Sin City"—would often force his son to
focus on writing his own rap music.[14][15] In 2013, Goulbourne was sent to a juvenile detention center
for possession of "around $10 worth of weed", where he met XXXTentacion.[16] The duo became
friends and frequently collaborated on songs after being released from detention.[17]

Career
Following Goulbourne's release from detention, he formed the rap group "Very Rare” with
XXXTentacion and released his first song "Catch Me" on the streaming service SoundCloud.
Goulbourne eventually co-founded XXXTentacion's collective Members Only[9][18] after the release
of Members Only Vol. 1, a collaboration mixtape with XXXTentacion, in 2015. The mixtape would
eventually be followed up with Members Only, Vol 2 and then Members Only, Vol 3 on June 26,
2017.[19][20]

Outside", "Where's the Blow" featuring Lil Pump, "Stunt!" featuring UnoTheActivist, "Life Is Short",
"Like a Soccer Mom", "Take a Step Back", and "BabyWipe". "Catch Me Outside" used the
instrumental of Missy Elliott's "She's a Bitch". Elliott responded positively to Goulbourne's rendition,
writing, "Oh he rode the heck out of this Fiyahthis my She's a Bit[c]h beat!" on Twitter.[21] The song
would eventually be certified Gold.[22] Goulbourne has performed twice at the Rolling Loud Festival[23]

"Take a Step Back", which was later certified Gold,[32][33] and "Where's the Blow".[30] In June 2017,
Goulbourne released his debut commercial mixtape You Will Regret under Victor Victor
Worldwide and Republic Records.[34][35] In May 2018, Goulbourne released his third mixtape Beware
the Book of Eli, which featured the single "DoIHaveTheSause?". In June that same year, he was
