Adam Levin (Defcee) has been grinding toward a rap career since his teenage years. He started out in the Young Chicago Authors program, making his rounds at open mics across the city, crossing paths with generational talents such as Chance the Rapper, Noname, and Mick Jenkins, and eventually running his own rap and poetry workshops with the program.

Last year, he caught his first major break when billy woods' Backwoodz Studios released his last album, Trapdoor. He also became a father recently, and though he'd spent much of his career with a chip on his shoulder — feeling both owed and unworthy of hip-hop status — these new developments helped him put these insecurities in perspective.
