Born Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy (January 23, 1998) in Plantation, Florida. Rose to prominence via SoundCloud. Released mixtapes and albums including 17, ? and Revenge. Died June 18, 2018. His career included widely reported legal controversies and a mixed public reception due to both musical innovation and personal conduct.

Two DeBaser reviews find XXXTentacion's ? experimental, melancholic and uneven. Reviewers note his SoundCloud origins, emo/lo-fi influences and a raw alternation between delicate and abrasive tracks. Both acknowledge his troubled personal history alongside musical originality.

For:listeners interested in emo rap, SoundCloud-era hip hop, and readers curious about controversial artists.

 If you're not open-minded, open your mind before listening to this album. If you don't listen to albums with alternative sounds and have never tried to broaden your horizons, open your mind before listening to this album. This album is very different, much more versatile, and much more uplifting than the previous one. It can comfort you, but at the same time dishearten you. With this project, I am letting you into my mind again, I am showing you my madness and my genius, my energy.
