When he was four years old, his family moved to Memphis, Tennessee. He and rapper Young Dolph, were cousins. His sister was shot and killed when his family were still living in Chicago, he once stated "I never knew my sister but... shit, being alone with no sibling is just shit."

Bennett said that where he grew up in South Memphis, many of his peers were raised by their grandmothers due to the issues experienced by their parents, but he was the only one who was raised by both of his parents, until in fifth grade, his father Cain, was mortally wounded in a drug deal. Bennett would pay respect in one song, "Die like a hero".

Bennett was expelled ninth grade for stabbing another student to the hospital, he then spend one year in house arrest. When he was fifteen he listened to rap music, and when he was 19, he started rapping and quickly noticed that he is very good at it.

In 2015, Bennett's fifth album, "Permission 2 die", became his highest charting project debuting at number one on the Billboard 200.
