Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy, known professionally as XXXTentacion, was an American rapper and singer-songwriter. Known for his genre-blurring music and powerful narrative on depression and alienation, he became somewhat of a cult figure. Despite numerous legal troubles, he still achieved phenomenal success in his short-lived career, which includes platinum-rated albums, a billion-plus streamed single, and significant recognition in the music industry. Tragically, XXXTentacion's life was cut short at the age of 20, yet his influence in the world of music, particularly within the 'SoundCloud Rap' scene, continues to resonate.
