Fivio Foreign is an American rapper from Brooklyn who helped shape the modern drill sound. He is known for his rapid-fire delivery, gritty street narratives, and a string of high-profile collaborations.

His debut album B.I.B.L.E., executive produced by Kanye West, hit the top ten on the Billboard 200 in 2022.

Maxie Lee Ryles III grew up in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. During summers, he was sent to Connecticut through the Fresh Air Fund program. He started rapping in 2011 under the name Lite Fivio. Two years later, he changed it to Fivio Foreign and formed a music collective with friends called 800 Foreign Side. The name came from a friend who compared his way with women to the romance novel cover model Fabio, women would cook and clean for him, so the nickname stuck. After his mother passed away, Ryles found himself couch-surfing and sometimes living on the streets. Music was always around: his sister listened to Nas and Jay-Z, and he would freestyle with an older cousin. For years, he grinded on the local scene, dropping verses on other artists' tracks and building a reputation in Brooklyn's drill underground. [edit]

Fivio's breakthrough came in 2019 with Big Drip, produced by AXL BEATS. The song went viral, earned a platinum certification, and spawned a remix with Lil Baby and Quavo. That same year, he signed with Mase's RichFish Records in a joint venture with Columbia Records and released the Pain and Love EP. In 2020, he made his Billboard Hot 100 debut with guest appearances on Drake's Demons and Lil Tjay's Zoo York featuring Pop Smoke. He also dropped his first full-length mixtape, 800 BC. The game changed in 2021 when he landed a verse on Kanye West's Off the Grid alongside Playboi Carti; the song peaked at number 11 on the Hot 100 and remains his highest-charting track. In 2022, Fivio released his debut studio album B.I.B.L.E., executive produced by Kanye West, which debuted in the top ten of the Billboard 200. The lead single City of Gods featured Kanye West and Alicia Keys. He earned a Best New Artist nomination at the 2022 BET Awards. Since then, he has released the Without Warning EP in 2023 and Pain & Love 2 in 2024, continuing to tour and collaborate. [edit]
