Music career

YouTube

MacDonald began his rapping career in 2009. His first album, LeeAnn's Son, was released in 2014. During this time, he started his YouTube channel with the single 'Wannabe'. His initial success arose after his 2017 single 'Dear Rappers'.

Controversy

His lyrics are interpreted by some as anti-feminist and as apologism for NotAllMen.[3] MacDonald has denied the claim of being a racist or ever participating in 'racist activities'.[4]

In July 2019 his distributor refused to host his new music video called If I Was Black on YouTube, so he moved to TuneCore.[5]

In 2017, MacDonald began dating Canadian rapper Nova Rockafeller. Together they have a punk band called 'GFBF'.[6]

He currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

MacDonald has cited The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, and Aerosmith as musical influences.[7] Growing up, the first albums he had were 2Pac's All Eyez on Me, Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP,[8] and Marilyn Manson's Smells Like Children.[9] He also cited Lady Gaga as an influence.[9]
