Calboy, whose real name is Calvin Woods, is an American rapper and singer hailing from Chicago, Illinois. Born on April 3, 1999, he burst onto the music scene with his viral hit "Envy Me" in 2018, a track that showcased his melodic style and emotionally rich content, earning him widespread recognition and a multi-platinum certification. His moniker is a nod to his first name and a reference to his storytelling reminiscent of wild western narratives.

Calboy's music is marked by its introspective lyrics and the incorporation of both street reality and personal struggle, exploring themes of violence, love, and survival — narratives shaped by his upbringing in the rough neighborhoods of Chicago. With his most recent releases like "Trap," "4AM," and "Soldiers Callin'," Calboy continues to refine his blend of drill influence with melodic rap, capturing the attention of listeners seeking authenticity and raw emotion in hip-hop. In tracks such as "If Heaven Had A Phone" and "Black Heart," he exhibits a vulnerability that connects deeply with fans, further establishing his place in the evolving landscape of the genre. Despite navigating the challenges of the industry and the streets, Calboy's artistic journey signifies resilience and the relentless pursuit of self-expression through music.
