Career

Music

After spending time under the mentorship of Lupe Fiasco, Jallal released his debut mixtape, Semi-Casual Love, in 2011.[2][3] Since then, he has released a second mixtape, Unwilling Fortay, along with numerous tracks. The mixtape caught the attention of Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def), who has since served as a mentor to Jallal.[4] Jallal has opened for Bey on several stops on his US tours starting in 2013.[4]

Jallal appeared on the remix to Olivia Olson's 2013 song "Suspicious". In 2014, he released his first single, "Rocky", featuring Rick Ross and produced by DJ MOZA,[5] and "Suicide", featuring BJ the Chicago Kid.[6] In 2015, he released the single "Gone Girl", featuring RDGLDGRN.[7]

In February 2017, Jallal released the single "Imma Dog". It was produced by CashMoneyAP.[5][8] He followed that up with "2:00 AM", produced by Goddy Beats, which Vibe magazine called "a flossy number that serves as the soundtrack for all of our late night rendezvous."[9] In May 2017, Jallal released the single "Toss & Turn" featuring Ne-Yo, produced by Hugo, James and Jan Fairchild.[1][10][11] In June 2017, he released the single "Never Forgotten", featuring BJ The Chicago Kid, Kaye Fox and Georgia Anne Muldrow.[12] The four tracks are included on his 15-track mixtape Off the Radar, which was released on June 14, 2017.[13][14] It features additional appearances from 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne, T-Pain and Yo Gotti,[15] and production from Chad Hugo of The Neptunes, Elliot James of Hey Monday, and DJ Moza.[9] In March 2018, he released the single "Without Drake, Mos Def and Lupe Fiasco", produced by Killa J and DJ Moza.[16]

Jallal's upcoming album Untold Truth includes production by DJ Moza and Killa J,[17] and the singles "The Truth" and "The Heat".[18]
