Fetty Wap, whose real name is Willie Junior Maxwell II, is an American rapper and singer who first gained major recognition with his breakout hit "Trap Queen" in 2014. Born on June 7, 1991, in Paterson, New Jersey, he was singularly known for his melodic flow and catchy hooks, combined with an emotive, sing-song delivery that blurred the lines between rapping and singing. Fetty Wap's music typically revolves around themes of street hustle, love, and resilience, often drawing from his own experiences. His distinctive voice and delivery, along with his ability to craft infectious choruses, helped propel him to the top of the charts. Notably, he recognized by his signature sound as well as his physical trademark—the loss of his left eye, which he has often addressed in public appearances and interviews.

After his initial success, Fetty Wap continued to release a slew of singles and collaborations that kept him on the radar of hip-hop and R&B enthusiasts. Albums like "King Zoo," and tracks such as "1738" featuring Coi Leray, and "Balenciaga" alongside Lisa Mishra, showcase his versatility and ability to adapt his style to both solo projects and collaborative efforts. His work is diverse, with songs like "Tonight" displaying a more romantic side, while "Off Top Off Rip (Remix)" with Mozzy brings forth his hard-hitting hip-hop roots. Fetty Wap has also shown an international flair in tracks like "Jamaica (AfroBeat Remix)," proving his appeal transcends American hip-hop scenes. His collaborative spirit shines in team-ups with other artists, for instance, "Born For Greatness" with Mozzy, and his remix of "Sweet Yamz" featuring Wiz Khalifa, all maintaining his relevance in the ever-evolving music landscape.
