He rose to prominence after releasing hit singles “Mo Bamba,” “Chippi Chippi,” and “Live SheckWes Die SheckWes.” He is currently signed to a joint record deal with Kanye West‘s G.O.O.D Music and Travis Scott‘s Catcus Jack Records. Real name, Khadimoul Rassoul Sheck Fall, he was born on September 10, 1998, in Harlem, upper Manhattan. He grew up listening to a broad genre of music; ranging from DMX to Seun Kuti (offspring of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti). He specifically places emphasis on his love for old-school music.

At age 11, Sheck Wes started making music. The Harlem native spends his adolescent years back and forth between two cities; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and New York City. At the beginning of high school, he moved back to New York for good to pursue his studies. Initially, Sheck Wes had dreams of playing college basketball. He got sidetracked in high school after getting involved with fashion and modeling. Being exposed to NYC’s streets, he had his fair share of conflicts. To keep him out of trouble, his mother sent him to Senegal, Africa; her native country. In Africa, he discovered his purpose and found a reason to stay focus. After moving back to New York, he began pursuing music seriously.
