Early life

After dropping out of high school during his freshman year, Render moved to Cleveland Avenue. Like his brother and fellow rapper Lil Keed, who is one year older, Gotit did not start taking rap seriously until his friend Rudy was killed a few days before the release of his Young Slime Mixtape in 2016.
