Paige launched his music career as a rising talent, starting to rap in early summer 2019. He then began releasing original songs, which earned him an audience.[5][6] He rose to fame in 2022 with the release of his single "Played Out", a trap song that served as his mainstream breakthrough.[7] The song's success garnered him further attention, leading to his signing with Moneybagg Yo's Bread Gang Entertainment.[8]

In March 2023, Fatt together with Fat Wizza and Moneybagg Yo himself, dropped "Shot Off Gumbo", with an accompanying music video,[9][10] and Moneybagg Yo eventually included the track on his mixtape Hard to Love, released in June 2023.[11] On June 2, 2023, YTB Fatt was featured on Moneybagg Yo's single "Rock Out", alongside fellow rapper Lil Durk.[12]

Fatt released the single "Get Back". The song boosted the popularity of Fatt, with over 13 million views on YouTube and over 30,000 views on the video-sharing app TikTok, receiving cosigns from notable figures like Lil Durk, B.G., and even the Cincinnati Bengals. Four months later, Fatt released the single "Calm It Down". After that, Fatt released two new singles: "Us" featuring Big Homiie G on July 11, 2023,[citation needed] and "Bet I Whip It" featuring Rob49 on July 18, 2023.[13]
