Dieuson Octave (born June 11, 1997), better known by his stage name Kodak Black, is an American rapper born and raised in Pompano Beach, Florida.

Early life and career

Dieuson Octave was born and raised in Pompano Beach, Florida. His parents were immigrants from Haiti. Kodak was raised by his mother in Golden Acres, a public housing project in Pompano Beach.

Kodak began rapping with his cousins at age 12 while in elementary school. He then became affiliated with the local rap group "Brutal Youngnz", and then with the "Kolyons".

In 2014, Kodak was working towards his high school diploma at Blanche Ely High School.

In 2015, Canadian rapper Drake posted a video of himself dancing to one of Kodak's hit singles, Skrt, which had a significant impact on him and grew him of popularity. He then later signed a deal with Atlantic Records.

Kodak Black and rapper Lil Uzi Vert announced their intention to partner for a national tour called the "Parental Advisory Tour" in 2016, which still went on without Kodak, due to his current incarceration.

He was named as one of the ten 2016 XXL Freshmen on June 13, 2016.

Legal issues

Kodak Black was placed into a juvenile detention center three times in one year, and then placed on probation.

In October 2015, Kodak Black was arrested in Pompano Beach and charged with robbery, battery, false imprisonment of a child, and possession of cannabis. He was later released from custody.

In April 2016, Kodak Black was arrested in Hallandale Beach, Florida and charged with possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, possession of cannabis, and fleeing from officers.

In May 2016, Kodak Black was arrested in Broward County, Florida and charged with armed robbery and false imprisonment. He was detained in custody.

Musical style

The subject matter of Kodak Black's music is frequently about "previous and future criminal misdeeds", and he has been influenced by rappers Lil Boosie and Chief Keef.

The New Yorker described his "manifestly youthful voice" and "mutinous sound", and stated "Octave joins other young rappers who have rejected an old-school emphasis on lyrical variety, individualism, and personal catharsis".
