XXXTentacion

Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy, professionally known as XXXTentacion, was an American rapper, singer-songwriter, and record producer. Though a controversial figure due to his widely publicized legal troubles, XXXTentacion gained a cult following among his young fan base during his short career with his depression and alienation-themed music.

Rising from Plantation, Florida with a sound that merged rap's aggression with emo's vulnerability, XXXTentacion carved out a deviant path through SoundCloud before his 2017 debut *17* crystallized his appeal to alienated listeners craving raw emotional confession over trap beats. His tight-knit circle—Ski Mask the Slump God and fellow Members Only collective members, Miami peer Denzel Curry, and emo-rap pioneer Lil Peep—formed a generational coterie that rejected trap's polish in favor of bedroom-recorded angst and sonic experimentation.
