Early life

Burdette grew up in South Central Los Angeles. He began rapping and producing shortly after he finished high school.[1][5]

Career

2014–2021: No Love Lost and Sixtape series

Blxst launched his music career with a hip hop collective called TIU Muzic, where he gained experience in the music industry and gathered a local following. In 2014, Blxst produced "Do Yo Gudda (Remix)" by Hitta J3 (featuring Kendrick Lamar, YG, and Problem).[6] In 2015, he founded his label Evgle, and became a creative director for his graphic design and music videos.[7] Blxst released his first song "Who Would've Thought" in 2016, with a string of independent singles in 2018 including a collaboration with Eric Bellinger. In 2019, he released his first solo hit single called "Hurt", with millions of streams.[8] On August 28, 2019, he released a collaboration EP with Bino Rideaux titled Sixtape.[9]

In 2020, Evgle partnered with Red Bull Records for the release of his debut EP No Love Lost on September 4, with the singles "Overrated", "No Love Lost", and "Be Alone".[10] The EP peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. The deluxe edition was released on December 4, with additional features from Ty Dolla Sign, Tyga, Dom Kennedy, and Bino Rideaux.[11] On March 12, 2021, he released a two-track EP titled Just for Clarity, including "Don't Forget" (featuring Drakeo the Ruler) and "Fck Boys" (featuring Russ).[12] That same year, he was listed on XXL's Annual Freshman Class. On July 16, Blxst released Sixtape 2 with Bino Rideaux.[13]

In September 2021, music streaming service Audiomack named Blxst "Up Now."[14] “Being an #UpNow Audiomack artist, it's a dope platform, to be even considered, to be a part of, and I'm humble for it, overall,” Blxst told Audiomack.
