Edit ProfileCareer
He was part of Collision Records until April 2015. He has a brother, Taelor Gray, who is also a rapper and was a part of The Elevationists. Music In 2011, Gray self-released an album entitled Even With Evil With Maine, and in late 2011, Gray became part of the West.L.A.K. collective after signing with the label Collision Records.
In 2012, he was working on his retail and label debut with Collision, but decided to release it as a mixtape.
Body Art was a hit among Gray"s fans and featured his entire label"s roster and other artists and producers he was affluent with, and was more of a rap album than "EWEWM"
On March 25, 2014, Gray released his debut studio album with Collision Records entitled School of Roses, which included fan favorites "Vanish (feat Swoope)" and "Wanna (feat JGivens)." This was more of an Rhythm & Blues album than Body Art, and it began to top charts on iTunes, debuting at northern 44 on the Billboard Top 200 and northern
5 on Top Rhythm & Blues Albums. In late 2014 and early 2015, Gray began releasing music on his own, prompting fans to question whether or not he was still a part of Collision and West.L.A.K. On April 28, 2015, after confirming he was leaving Collision in an interview with Rapzilla, Gray released an European Parliament called The Demos to be streamed exclusively on the Christian music-streaming app, "The Overflow".
In June 2015, he revealed that he had signed with Kirk Franklin"s label, Fo Yo Soul Recordings. He subsequently removed The Demos to work on his third retail album and label debut.
On November 18, 2015, Rapzilla.com released an interview via email with Gray in which he said his debut with Fo Yo Soul had been completed and was being scheduled for release during "the colder part of 2016."
A couple weeks later, on December 2, 2015, Gray released a freestyle video which included the name and release date of his next project, The Glory Album. Gray"s debut album with Fo Yo Soul Recordings will be released on March 11, 2016.
