Born in Atlanta, Scott joined the A$AP Mob shortly after he moved to New York City. Before Rocky had truly popped off in the early 2010s, the "Peso" rapper and the late A$AP Yams asked Scott to DJ for Rocky. After that, Scott came up in the Mob and even began to manage artists of his own. He also held a vital role in the Cozy Boys with A$AP Lou.
