Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

Before bbno$ would drop tracks LaLaLa would explode in popularity and would become a TikTok challenge in itself. Before bbno$ would hook up with Yung Gravy, Wiz Khalifa then Carly Rae Jepsen and Enrique Inglesis would jump on the remix for Lalala. Before bbno$ would clock in just of 1 Million followers on Instagram, 1 Million on Subscribers on YouTube, and 183K followers on Twitter and over 345K followers on TikTok and 142K followers on Soundcloud at the time of this recording. The Vancouver-raised artist basically stumbled into the world of rap after dreams of becoming a competitive swimmer were sidelined by a serious back injury in Grade 12 nearly left him as a paraplegic. As he picked up the pieces of his life, he also took an interest in rhyming off beats, which grew into uploading his songs to Soundcloud and found his first taste of success in China when a kid named Jackson Yee danced to his song Yoyo Tokyo with his dance crew the TFBoys and the video went viral overseas.After amassing a considerable online fan base, bbno$ released his collaboration “Lalala” with American producer Y2K which became a Tik Tok phenomenon and would land him at No. 55 on the Billboard Hot 100 and to think that the dude first time rapping was just him laughing over a Chief Keef type beat while getting high with his friends.
