Breaking through with the viral platinum hit "Rubbin Off the Paint" (2017) when he was just 17, YBN Nahmir went from being an online gamer to a rap star virtually overnight. Along with friends Cordae and YBN Almighty Jay, YBN Nahmir made up the core membership of the YBN collective, with all three of the main players rising to enormous success around the same time. Singles and videos streamed in the millions and hit the Billboard charts, as did YBN: The Mixtape (2018), an album-length release that collected the crew's brightest output up to that point, such as Nahmir's second big hit as a headliner, "Bounce Out with That." Nahmir has since released the solo album Visionland (2021), containing third platinum single "Opp Stoppa," and has joined the roster of Def Jam, announcing his signing to the pioneering rap label with "Bows" (2022).
