Fetty Wap is a rapper hailing from Paterson, New Jersey, United States who was born on June 7th, 1990. Since debuting, he has released two mixtapes, and had an enormous, world wide hit single in the form of 2014's “Trap Girl”.
Born Willie Maxwell and raised in a Paterson, New Jersey housing project, music was a passion of Fetty Wap's from an early age, but it wasn't until 2013 when that interest translated into the desire to make it himself. After joining a rap troupe local to him called the Remy Boyz 1738, he tried his hand at being a staight-up rapper at first. However, he decided to start singing as well in order to have something to make him stand out from the crowd, and it's safe to say that it was a wise move. Maxwell ended up having one of the most phenomenally successful debut singles in recent history in the form of “Trap Queen”, which was released onto the internet in April 2014.
Shortly after it's official release in February 2015, it had picked up enough momentum to hurtle into the Billboard Hot 100 at number two. However, Maxwell shows no sign of becoming a one-hit wonder, or a novelty act. His two mixtapes, 2014's “Up Next” and the following year's “Zoo Style”, have picked up glowing notices and have seen the young sensation guest on records by everyone from Gucci Mane to 50 Cent. Maxwell has the commercial clout and the artistic vision to become a major player in the near future, and for that, he comes highly recommended.
