Early Life & Background
Growing up on the South Side of Chicago shaped Memo600's artistic identity from an early age. Raised within the cultural context of the Black Disciples gang specifically set 600, he found a sense of belonging and purpose through music rather than street conflicts alone. This environment provided a unique network of local talent and a distinct territorial identity that would later define his brand within the competitive hip-hop landscape.
Before achieving national recognition, Memo600 honed his craft in the underground Chicago drill scene. He spent years performing at local venues and releasing mixtapes that circulated through word-of-mouth and early social media sharing.

Career Growth

In 2021, he reached a major milestone with the release of Jump, a high-profile single featuring Lil Durk, King Von, and Booka600. The visual for this song garnered significant attention and cemented his status as a leading voice in the new wave of Chicago drill.

In 2025, he continued to release original material including the single YAP and the EP ENVELOPE (Chopped Not Slopped), demonstrating his evolution as an artist and his ability to maintain relevance in a rapidly changing genre.
