Innanet James was born in Silver Spring, Maryland,[9] but split his time growing up between Montgomery and Prince George's counties, Maryland and Washington, DC, respectively. James has stated that Lil Wayne's mixtape Da Drought 3, particularly the "Upgrade U" freestyle was the most influential record in molding his career as a rapper.[1] He draws inspiration from the Wu Tang Clan, 50 Cent, Amy Winehouse, and Smokey Robinson, but typically writes what is in his environment. He has stated that he has been composing rap since he was in the third grade.[9] Before finding success within the rap industry, James worked at a DSW and took graphic design classes.[9] He is very vocal of his distaste for acting US President, Donald Trump[10] and has expressed interest in the political campaigns of Andrew Yang and Bernie Sanders.
Innanet James currently has two studio albums: Quebec Place, which was released on 26 August 2016 and Keep it Clean, released on 14 September 2018.[11]
