Career

2016-2017: Early fame and debut EP

According to McAfee, he did not start recording music until the end of 2016.[8] By that time, he started gaining attention in his hometown of Austin, Texas. However, his first hit song did not come until he released the single "Game Time Pt. 2" in August 2017.[9] He followed this up with the releases of songs such as "Gang Shit", "Revenge", and "Lil Gangsta", with the former two being featured on his debut EP Stain or Starve.

2018-2019: Big success and debut mixtape

McAfee gained national success after the release of two of his biggest singles to date, "Talkin' My Shit" and "Straight Thru", which both had music videos uploaded onto the popular Jmoney1041 YouTube channel in late 2018, helping them gain traction.[10][11] These singles helped McAfee sign a record deal with 10K Projects.[12] He followed this success up with hit singles such as "How I'm Living" and "NFN ENT", both of which accumulated over a million views on YouTube.[13][14]

On October 25, 2019, McAfee released his debut mixtape, 4Nun.[15][16] The tape included features from NLE Choppa and PnB Rock, and one of the singles from the tape, "Poles" featuring NLE Choppa, went on to become one of McAfee's most popular singles.
