He was in a near-fatal car crash in 1999, which left him in a coma for three weeks.

Dphrepaulezz was born in western Massachusetts, the eighth of fifteen children.

His father was a deeply religious Somali Muslim who, Dphrepaulezz recalls, had "a lot of rules" for his children.

Dphrepaulezz and his family relocated to Oakland, California, when he was 12 years old.

He began selling drugs as a teenager in Oakland, telling the Guardian, "We were all selling drugs, man. We all carried pistols. There was a crack epidemic. [....] I was the kind of kid who would sell fake weed [...]. Sometimes I would use tea."

He became inspired to teach himself how to play music after listening to Prince's album Dirty Mind and hearing that Prince was a self-taught musician.

He learned to play music by sneaking into music classrooms at the University of California Berkeley despite not being a student there.

Dphrepaulezz signed an early record deal with Prince's former manager.
