London, 35, was born in Trinidad and Tobago and later raised in the Brooklyn borough of New York. He was nominated for a 2016 Grammy for best rap performance for a featured spot alongside Paul McCartney on Kanye Wests All Day.

London has frequently collaborated with the artist now known as Ye, who produced and guested on 2014s Vibes. London would often post updates on Yes Donda and Donda 2 on Instagram, even saying that he was promoted to tackle media duties on Yes behalf for the month of February.

London himself has released three studio albums 2011s Timez Are Weird These Days, Vibes and 2020s Bebey. He recently was a featured artist on Young Francos Get Your Money, released this past September the month before he was last seen.

While Vibes was a Warner Records release, Bebey was released on Londons own label, My Bebey Records.
