Blueface is an American rapper best known for his breakout single "Respect My Cryppin'," which gained widespread attention for its offbeat flow and distinctive West Coast style.
Johnathan Michael Porter, known professionally as Blueface, was born on January 20, 1997, in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in Southern California, where he developed an interest in both music and sports. A talented athlete, Porter earned a football scholarship to attend Fayetteville State University in North Carolina. However, he dropped out after a short time and returned to Los Angeles.
His entry into music was unexpected. During a studio visit with his friend TC4800, Blueface casually began freestyling and discovered his unique voice. His unconventional rap flow, characterized by irregular meter and street-centric slang, quickly set him apart in the crowded rap landscape.
Blueface's profile began rising in 2018 with the release of "Dead Locs," which gained regional traction. The success was shortly followed by the viral hit "Thotiana," which further solidified his place in hip-hop. He promoted his music through grassroots efforts, including high school performances and appearances at local malls, helping him grow a dedicated fan base.
Capitalizing on the momentum, Blueface released the mixtape Famous Cryp, the EP Two Coccy, and a collaborative project titled We Over Famous with rapper Trendd—all before the end of 2018. That same year, he signed a deal with Cash Money West, a division of the iconic Cash Money Records, signaling his entrance into the mainstream music industry.
In early 2019, Blueface released the single "Bleed It," followed by several tracks including "Daddy," a collaboration with Rich the Kid featured on his EP Dirt Bag. In October 2019, he announced plans to release his debut studio album, which faced delays before officially launching in March 2020 under the title Find the Beat.
The album included notable guest appearances from rappers such as Gunna, NLE Choppa, and DaBaby. It received moderate commercial success, debuting at number 64 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking a significant milestone in Blueface's career.
