How did BlocBoy JB Make His Money?
Born on May 19, 1996, in Memphis, Tennessee, BlocBoy JB began writing his own rhymes in his early teens, not long after moving to Raleigh. From there, he eventually met Tay Keith, whom he started to collaborate in the early 2010’s. Growing up, he was raised single-handedly by his mother, as his father was serving a 25-year long sentence in jail at the time of his birth.
As a rapper, he began to share his music on SoundCloud in 2012. A few years later, he put together his first mixtape titled, Who Am I, which gave rise to the song, No Chorus Pt. 6– a surprise hit that went on to garner two million views on YouTube. Riding on the momentum, he later followed up with two additional mixtapes that year, Grape Juice and Who Am I 2.
Continuing to follow through with his goal of one day becoming a top rapper, he dropped three mixtapes in 2017- Who Am I 3, Loco, and The Purple M&M. Some highlights from the projects include Beast Mode, Shoot, Praise The Lord, and Swim and No Complaints.
Despite the said mixtapes, it wasn’t until earlier this year that his popularity spiked. On February 9, 2018, he dropped a single titled, Look Alive which featured Canadian rapper Drake. His most successful release to date, it became his first top 10 hit after entering the Billboard Hot 100 at number 6. Outside of the US, the single also charted in Canada, Belgium, Australia, the UK, among many others.
Responsible for his huge wave of popularity, its accompanying music video has since been viewed over 92 million times on YouTube. With how successful it has been, it’s only natural that the rapper would have received a significant amount of royalties from the single.
Since then, BlocBoy JB has also released a track titled, Rover 2.0, which features 21 Savage. In addition to that, he had dropped a new mixtape dubbed, A Few Grapes in early 2018.
What else contributes to his overall income? Well, there’s also the concert performances that he puts on from time to time.
