Career

Weekly started freestyling in 2011 and continued to post his music on YouTube. He joined the rap group "Fly Boy Gang" in his early school years with the majority of the members of Fly Boy Gang being part of the Gangster Disciples gang. Weekly's most viewed song is "Slide" which has received over 65 million views. "Slide" was released in 2018. This made RECORDS who is a part of SME (Sony Music Entertainment) to sign FBG Duck. FBG Duck stated in one of his DJ Vlad interviews that the deal was for over 2 million dollars. Immediately prior to Weekly's death, his mother stated that he was about to be signed to a "Huge Record Deal" with Houston's Legendary J. Prince.
