Father is an American rapper and producer. He is the head of independent record label Awful Records.

Career[]

Father rose to prominence as part of Awful Records, an independent record label and creative collective he founded with a group of friends in Atlanta, Georgia. His breakout single was 2014's "Look at Wrist", featuring iLoveMakonnen and .[1] He released his mixtape Young Hot Ebony in September the same year.[2]

Father released his album Who's Gonna Get Fucked First? in 2015.[3] Pitchfork described the project's style as "aggressively minimal, leaving [Father] room to experiment with rhythm and timing to better effect".[4] His next album, I'm a Piece of Shit, was released in 2016. Pitchfork characterized the album as an attempt to "forswear his debauched lifestyle" that was portrayed in the previous album.[5]

In 2018, Awful Records announced a partnership with RCA Records that would allow Awful to sign artists to a joint Awful/RCA contract.[6][7][8] Father's album Awful Swim was released in conjunction with RCA and Adult Swim the same year.[9]

His latest album, Come Outside, We Not Gone Jump You, was released in 2020.[10]
