FDFTAYDOE is a rising rap and hip-hop artist from Illinois whose music is built on real experiences, raw emotion, and personal growth. With three years in the game, he’s steadily carving out his own lane by staying true to himself and the people who inspired him to start. From the beginning, his motivation has come close to home—his older cousins—who showed him the path and encouraged him to find his voice through music.
His first release, “On My Own,” set the tone for his journey, reflecting independence, resilience, and self-belief. Since then, FDFTAYDOE has continued to sharpen his craft, writing all of his own material and creating his own music video concepts to ensure his story is told his way. His sound lives firmly in rap and hip-hop, but his love for R&B influences the emotion and melody woven into his music.
Collaboration has also played a role in his development. He’s worked with artists like Legend Yung Dex and fellow FDF members, building chemistry within his circle while expanding creatively. When it comes to dream collaborations, FDFTAYDOE looks to artists who blend pain with honesty. He names PnB Rock as an artist he would have loved to work with and Kevin Gates as a top choice among living artists.
Currently independent and still weighing future deal options, FDFTAYDOE stays grounded thanks to his biggest supporter—his mom. Her belief keeps him focused as he works on an upcoming EP. His latest release, “What Pain Did,” continues his theme of turning hardship into music, while his next drop, also titled “On My Own,” is on the way.
Having already performed for crowds of around 45 to 50 people, FDFTAYDOE dreams of taking his music to bigger stages, including New York. He can also see himself touring with G Herbo, an artist whose authenticity mirrors his own approach.
In five years, FDFTAYDOE doesn’t limit his vision—he plans to be wherever God leads him, continuing to grow, heal, and connect through music.
