424KP’s meteoric rise is marked by impressive milestones. He opened for Polo G at Boston’s Agganis Arena in 2023, and has earned social media co-signs from Lil Tjay, Murda Beatz, and NLE Choppa. His discography boasts two tracks with over 5 million streams and five with over 1 million, with his “UK Next Up” freestyle further cementing his buzz. His EP “Paying4Two” (April 2023) has already surpassed 3 million streams.
