His music is a blend of trap, dancehall and cloud rap, showcasing carefree, anime-referencing lyrics over hazy beats. His parents are both Jamaican, and he grew up listening to reggae and playing drums in a church choir.

==Biography== Cochise (or "Cheis") was one of the most noted Apache leaders (along with Geronimo and Mangas Coloradas) to resist intrusions by Mexicans and Americans during the 19th century. He was described as a large man (for the time), with a muscular frame, classical features, and long, black hair, which he wore in traditional Apache style. He was about tall and weighed about . In his own language, his name Cheis meant "having the quality or strength of oak."
