Fetty Wap
Willie Junior Maxwell II[3] (born June 7, 1991), known professionally as Fetty Wap, (also known as Harlem Fetty or Fetty Wap 1738), is an American rapper and singer-songwriter. He quickly rose to mainstream prominence in late 2014, after his single song "Trap Queen" was re-released as his debut single for 300 Entertainment, an imprint of Atlantic Records. The song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and was followed by the singles "679" (featuring Remy Boyz) and "My Way" (remixed featuring Drake), both of which saw similar chart success throughout 2015. The trio of hits—along with his single "Again"—preceded the release of Fetty Wap's eponymous debut studio album (2015), which peaked atop the Billboard 200 chart. During this time, he became distinctive for his melodic blending of singing and rapping, lighthearted lyricism, "bouncy" production, and exclamation of various catchphrases such as "1738!"[4]

Career edit
2013–2015: Beginnings and debut album edit
Fetty Wap developed an interest in making music in 2013. Initially starting off as a rapper, he later decided to start singing as well because he "wanted to do something different". He was nicknamed "Fetty," and "Wap" was added to the end of the name to perform in tribute to Gucci Mane's alias, Guwop.[9][10][11]
Fetty Wap's commercial debut single, titled "Trap Queen", was released in early 2014. This song appeared in his 2014 mixtape Up Next released in July 2014. He recorded the song in February 2014. However, it did not gain major recognition until mid-November 2014, and since then it has become a platinum record and has over 130 million plays on SoundCloud. In November 2014, Fetty Wap represented by Attorney Navarro W. Gray[12][13][14][15] secured a recording contract with 300 Entertainment, the imprint was founded by Lyor Cohen, Kevin Liles, Roger Gold and Todd Moscowitz, with distribution through Atlantic Records.[16][17] The song "Trap Queen" is about a woman dealing and cooking crack cocaine.[18][19] His second mixtape, Fetty Wap: The Mixtape was originally set for release in February 2015, but was delayed because he continued to create new songs.[20] In June 2015, Fetty Wap was included in XXL's 2015 Freshman Class.[21]
On June 29, 2015, Fetty Wap released his second single "679", originally from his Up Next mixtape. The song's accompanying music video premiered on YouTube in May, before being commercially released. "679" had an original version with Monty only and an added verse by Fetty Wap. The Remy Boyz version was removed from the album.[22] His next single, "My Way", became his second top 10 entry on the Billboard Hot 100. Later, Drake remixed "My Way" and created the version that was then played on radio.[23] Afterwards, "679" reached the Hot 100 top 10 peaking at number four.[24]
During the week of July 26 to August 1, 2015, the rapper matched Billboard marks by hip-hop prominent artists Eminem and Lil Wayne. He became the first male rapper with three songs occupying the top 20 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 chart since Eminem did so in 2013. He also became the first male rapper in four years to have concurrent singles reach the top 10 of the same chart since Lil Wayne did so in 2011.[25] With his fourth single "Again", Fetty Wap became the first act in the Hot Rap Songs chart's 26-year history to chart his first four entries in the top 10 simultaneously.[26]
Fetty Wap's debut studio album Fetty Wap was released on September 25, 2015.[27] The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, with 129,000 equivalent album units (75,484 in pure album sales).[28] Fetty Wap subsequently released two mixtapes for streaming only: Coke Zoo in collaboration with French Montana[29] and ZOO 16: The Mixtape with Zoo Gang.[30] Fetty Wap received two nominations at the 58th Grammy Awards.[31]

2021–present: The Butterfly Effect and King Zoo edit
On September 28, 2021, Fetty Wap previewed the song "Out The Hood" in an Instagram video with the caption "10/22 T.B.E", giving speculation of a single or mixtape release. On October 13, 2021, Fetty Wap posted the cover art for his upcoming album The Butterfly Effect, six years following his debut; however on the intro, he sings "it's been seven years." The album was released on October 22, 2021 through 300 Entertainment & RGF Productions, marking the return of Fetty Wap after several mixtapes and numerous legal issues. The title derives from his late daughter, Lauren, where he drew inspiration for many elements of the album.[52] In November 2022, Fetty Wap released his single "Sweet Yamz", a recreation of the song "Yamz" by Masego and Devin Morrison. The song went viral on the video sharing service TikTok and the song received positive reception, with singer Charlie Wilson releasing an unofficial remix through the app, and rapper Snoop Dogg calling it the "song of the year".[53]
In November 2023, Fetty Wap released his third studio album King Zoo, supported by the single released a year prior, "Sweet Yams". The album was his first release following his incarceration and included a guest appearance from Coi Leray.[54][55]

Fetty Wap has referred to his music as "ignorant R&B".[56] Like Canadian rapper Drake, he combines singing and rapping.[57]
Fetty Wap usually wears the flag of Haiti in honor of his daughter's late grandmother[58] and draws influences from Haitian culture.[59] In an interview with CivilTV, he said that he "fell in love with the culture; people don't know what Haiti means to me."[58] On several occasions, Fetty Wap has also cited Atlanta-based rapper Gucci Mane as a major influence in his music.[56][60]
