Rob49 is one of the most talked-about young rappers of the moment, and leading the charge of the voice of New Orleans rap.

Rob49’s 2022 project, Welcome to Vulture Island marked the turning point after which Rob49 became an unmissable rising star with over 358 million streams. Just ten months after its release, the video for “Vulture Island V2,” which features rap star Lil Baby, had racked up more than 43 million views on YouTube. Rob49 also embarked on a sold-out 2022 tour with Nardo Wick, a similarly rising star from Jacksonville. Rob49’s consistency, authenticity and rawness caught the attention of the fans and press alike. In 2023 Rob49 was featured on the historic XXL’s Freshman Class cover, a prestigious annual issue that highlights the most exciting artists in rap.

Today, Rob49 has had collaborations with top artists like Lil Baby, Lil Durk, G Herbo, Trippie Redd, Skilla Baby, Roddy Ricch, and Moneybagg Yo among others. Following the release of his summer 2023 album 4GOD II which went to #8 on i-Tunes HipHop Charts, Rob was nominated for a BET Award for best video, for his collaboration with Peezy, Jeezy, and Real Boston Richey on the song “2 Million Up”.Rob49 saw another spike in success with his collaboration with rising rap star Skilla with viral hit “Mama” also featuring rapper Tay B. “Mama” was an instant hit, reaching top 15 at Urban Radio. Rob49 lent his undeniable voice to one of the largest global rap artists, Travis Scott, with the hit single “Topia Twins'' off of Travis Scott’s critically acclaimed project, “Utopia”. This single landed Rob49 his first Billboard top 100 entry. Rob49 continued to keep his momentum at a high pace, with the release of his 2024 single “Wassam'' featuring legendary artist and fellow New Orleans native, Lil Wayne.
