Musical career
2012âÂÂ17: Career beginnings
Osteen began his music career as part of J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, a production team based in Tampa, Florida, but is best known for his solo production and songwriting work with Chicago artists Chance the Rapper, Vic Mensa, Mick Jenkins, Noname, and Saba. In 2015, he went on tour with J. Cole as a producer in the Forest Hills Drive Tour, where he began working more with Dreamville artists including Bas and Lute. Osteen was also part of the team working on Grammy Award-winning album Coloring Book in 2017, which was the first-ever streaming-only album to win a Grammy. In 2017, he was included in the XXL best hip-hop producers list.
2018âÂÂpresent: Solo career
January 2018 saw the launch of Osteen as an artist in his own right, with the single "TenderHeaded" which features Smino. The song received positive feedback from music journalists. The song also made the BBC Radio 1 playlists in the UK. His debut album Grown Ass Kid has no release date, but was expected to be released in 2018. The album will feature the single "Grown Ass Kid", a co-production between Chance the Rapper and Osteen. It was initially intended for Chance's Coloring Book album in 2017 but didn't make the final cut.
